1. (a) Electron acceptor / gains electrons

do not allow electron pair acceptor
1
(b) Fe2+ ions
1
Fe2+ / Fe or Fe2+ or it has smallest / most negative electrode potential / E°
Do not allow Fe / Fe2+
Cannot score M2 if M1 incorrect
1
(c) Pt|H2|H+||Ag+|Ag
M1 for H2 H+ Ag+ Ag in correct order
1
allow dashed phase boundaries
2H+ loses one mark (M2)
M2 for Pt correct and correct phase boundaries
Ignore state symbols. M1 must be correct to score M2
If answer correct but all in reverse order allow 1 mark out of
two
1
Any two correct conditions
• 298 K / 25 °C
• 100 kPa
• both solutions of unit concentration
• zero current
Allow 1 bar; Do not apply list principle, mark correct answers.
2
(d) E Au+( / Au) > E O2 ( / H2O) OR e.m.f. / Ecell = 0.45 V
If both species in electrode given, must be in correct order
i.e. Au+ / Au
1
Au+ (ions) oxidise water OR water reduces Au+ (ions)
Allow water donates electrons to Au+
1
Gold metal / solid / precipitate OR bubbles / effervescence of (oxygen gas) /
gas produced
Penalise incorrect observations
1

2Au+ + H2O → 2Au + 2H+ + O2 OR 4Au+ + 2H2O → 4Au + 4H+ + O2

Allow multiples
1
(e) (i) 1.24 (V)
Do not allow −1.24
1
(ii) Chloride ions / Cl react with / form a precipitate with silver ions / Ag+ /
−

form AgCl
Penalise reaction of chloride ions with iron ions or iron
1
(f) E O2 ( / H2O) > E Fe3+ ( / Fe2+) (or e.m.f / Ecell = 0.46 V)
Species in electrode if all given must be in correct order
1
Therefore the iron(II) ions are oxidised (or converted) into iron(III) ions (by
oxygen)
If chloride ions oxidised to chlorine, lose M2

M2 can be obtained or lost from equation.
Ignore observations.

2. (a) Hydrogen ion concentration: 1.00 mol dm (1) –3

Hydrogen gas pressure: 100 kPa (1)

2
(b) Explanation of change: Equilibrium displaced to left (1)
to reduce constraint (1)
Change in electrode potential: Becomes negative or decreases (1)
allow more negative

(c) (i) 0.43V (1)
(ii) Half-equation: 2Br → Br + 2e (1)
–

–

Overall equation: 2BrO + 10Br + 12H → 6Br + 6H O (2)

3. (a) 1.4 V
Allow + or –
1
(b) 2NiO(OH) + 2H O + Cd → 2Ni(OH) + Cd(OH)
2 2 2

Mark for species, Deduct a mark for additional species

(eg OH ) but allow balance mark
–

1
Balanced
If equation is reversed CE=0
1
(c) NiO(OH) or Ni(III) or nickel
1
+3
Allow conseq on wrong species

4. (a) loses electrons / donates electrons

penalise donates electron pair
1
(b) Zn
1
(most) negative Eo / lowest Eo / least positive
can only score M2 if M1 correct
do not allow e.m.f instead of Eo
1
(c) E F2 (/F ) > E O2 (/H2O)
o – o

or e.m.f is positive or e.m.f = 1.64 V

1
Fluorine reacts to form oxygen (can score from equation in
M3 even if equation unbalanced provided no contradiction)
or fluorine oxidises water
or fluorine is a more powerful oxidising agent than oxygen

2F2 + 2H2O → 4F– + 4H+ + O2
allow 4HF in equation
balanced equation scores M2 and M3

(d) (i) order correct Zn Zn2+ Ag2O Ag or reverse of this order
ignore ss , H+ and H2O, no. of moles
1
all phase boundaries correct
allow Zn|Zn2+||Ag2O,Ag
or Zn|Zn2+||Ag2O|H+|Ag for M1 & M2
e.g. Zn|Zn2+||Ag2O|Ag or Ag|Ag2O||Zn2+|Zn scores 2
M2 cannot be gained unless M1 scored
allow H+ either side of Ag2O with comma or |
for M2 penalise
• wrong phase boundary (allow dashed lines for
salt bridge)
• Pt
• use of + (from half equation)
• water/H+ outside Ag in Ag electrode
1
(ii) 1.1 (V)
Allow no units, penalise wrong units
allow correct answer even if no answer to (d)(i) or answer to
(d)(i) incorrect
allow –1.1 if silver electrode on Left in (d)(i) even if the
species are in the wrong order.
1
(iii) Reaction(s) not reversible or H2O electrolyses
do not allow hard to reverse
mention of primary cell is not enough to show that reaction(s)
are irreversible
1
(e) (i) –0.46 (V)
Allow no units, penalise wrong units
1
(ii) 2PbSO4 + 2H2O → Pb +PbO2 + 2HSO4– + 2H+
lead species correct on correct sides of equation
1
equation balanced and includes H2O,
HSO4 and H+ (or H2SO4)
–

allow ions / species must be fully cancelled out or combined

allow 1/2 for balanced reverse equation
1
(f) (i) reagents / PbO2 / H2SO4 /acid / ions used up
(or concentration decreases)
1
(ii) fuel cell
Ignore any other words

(iii) reagents / fuel supplied continuously

concentrations (of reagents) remain constant
