      penalize ½ mk only for any point of the errors mentioned above.
  2. D.p. = Decimal point 1mk
    Either all values recorded to 1 d.p OR all recorded to 2 d.p, second figure of the d.p being 0 or 5 only e.g. 23.60 , 24.75 not 21.36 , 22.57
    A student should not record same values to 1 d.p other to 2 d.p in the same table. If this happens award 0mk for d.p

  4. PA = Principles of Averaging ……1mk
    1. Candidates to average 3titres if they are within ± 0.1cm3 to one another i.e. maximum deviation between smallest and largest being 0.20cm3, if beyond this limit award 0mk
      Or
    2. Candidates to average 2 titres if only 2 titres are possible
    3. If a candidate averages 2 titres when three are possible award 0mk for averaging.
    4. Averaged titre to be recorded to 2d.p if it is recurring e.g. 26.333 to 26.33 not 26.3 or 26.35

    Summary of award of marks to be written beside the table
    N/B
    School value is obtained by the teacher performing the experiment and calculating the average titre.

CALCULATIONS PROCEDURE 1

  1. Molarity of solution A = 6.95 x 1000
                                         278      250
    = 0.1 molar ½ mk
    No. of moles = 0.1 x 25 = 0.0025moles ½ mk
                              1000
  2. Mole ration A:B is 5 : 1 ½ mk
    So moles of B = 1/5moles of A
    = 1/5 x 0.0025 = 0.0005moles ½ mk
  3.  Av. Titre had 0.005mol.
    Therefore 100cm3 of solution B has = 1000 x 0.005
                                                                  Average titre      ½ mk
    e.g. 1000 x 0.0005 = 0.0179
                   28                   NB: use candidate’s titre value in part (i) above

PROCEDURE II
TABLE II 5mks
Award marks as shown in table I
Calculations Procedure II

  1. 1000cm3 of solution B has
    Therefore Average titre has
    = Av, Titre table II x (ans. in c above) ½ mk
                        1000
    = ans ½ mk
  2. Mole ration B: C is 2:5
    No. of mole of C = 5/2 moles of B ……………… ½ mk
    = 5/2 x ans. in (a) above.
    e.g. 5/2 x 0.00429 = 0.001073 ½ mk
  3. 25cm3 of solution. C has (ans in (b) above)
    1000cm3 of solution C. has 1000 x ans. (b) above ½ mk
                                                             25
    = ans.
    e.g. 24 x 0.0179 = 0.000429
                 1000                     ½ mk
