Here's my attempt at an unofficial mark scheme, it is for the OCR Chemistry A, new spec, breadth in chemistry paper, really can only put the maths questions down, but if there are written ones I can remember I will put them down. This is only really for comparison of numbers, and general ideas
Multiple choice:
BCDACCBDCBCBBCBDDBBD [20] (if anyone happened to store their multiple choice answers on their calculator, please post them below to compare)
Similarities and differences of isotopes: Same number of protons and electrons, different number of neutrons [2]
Relative atomic mass: 63.62 [2]
No of atoms in 5.00g coin: 3.98 x 10^22 (3sf) [2]
Equation with nickel (II) oxide and nitric acid: NiO + 2HNO3 --> Ni(NO3)2 + H2O [1]
Dot and cross: [2]
Empirical formula with water of crystallisation: CrCl3 • 6H2O [3]
Percentage error of water removed mass: 1.72% [2]
Ways to reduce percentage uncertainty: use a larger mass of crystals to get larger mass of water removed, reducing % error [1]
To make sure mass of water removed is correct: reweigh and reheat, repeat until constant mass is achieved [1]
Volume of H2SO4 required to neutralise NaOH: 24.8cm^3 [3]
Oxidation: Al oxidised from 0 to +3 and H reduced from +1 to 0 [2]
Electron configuration of bromide ion: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 [1]
Displacement question: Cl2(g) + 2Br-(aq) = 2Cl- (aq) + Br2 (aq) [1] chlorine is more reactive than bromine [1]
Adding chlorine to water: benefit, kills bacteria, risk, chlorine is toxic [1]
Reagent for halide precipitate: AgNO3 (aq) [1]
Halogen precipitate colours: chloride, white; bromide, cream; iodide, yellow [1]
Enthalpy change of reaction: -58.5 kJmol^-1 [4]
Ionic equation: Pb2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) = PbI2 (s) [1]
Concentration of KI required: 3.3 moldm^-3 [2]
Equilibrium question: The equilibrium position will shift to the right, as the forward reaction is exothermic, in an attempt to reduce the effect of the temperature decrease. The equilibrium position will also shift to the right as there are fewer gas molecules in the products of the forward reaction, in an attempt to reduce the effect of the pressure increase. This may vary to the actual conditions as low temperature reduces rate of reaction, and it's expensive to have a high pressure. [5]
Concentration in equilibrium question: 0.876 moldm^-3 [4]
Homologous series: alkenes, general formula: CnH2n [1]
Alkene to alkane: H2, nickel catalyst, 150 degrees C [1]
Alcohol --> H2SO4 + heat --> alkene (this question was to draw the alcohol I think) [1]
Empirical formula: C2H5O [1]
Last question: step 1 reagent, Cl2/Br2/I2, step 2 reagent, NaOH (KOH and LiOH probably accepted) [3]
Any incorrect (although I don't think there are) please tell and I'll correct
Also, post about how you found the exam, as this will give a good indication of grade boundaries

Equilibrium constant was 0.156, concentrations given were 2.00 and 1.20 moldm^-3

Percentage error of water removed mass: 1.72% again I got 3.57%.
two measurements
Percentage error of water removed mass: 1.72% again I got 3.57%.


Edit: however my method was to use the upper and lower bound of the value, which may not be the way the spec wants

The ideal mass was 0.58g, and so 0.01/0.58 = 1.72% (3sf)

I thought you did, either that or you have a good memory to remember all the multiple choice

no the ideal mass was .56g and even the %age difference isn't calculated like that.

hey, for one on the mcq's about which compound is nonpolar did you put Z1,4 something or Z2,3 or one of the E ones
