3 The structure of 1-phenylazonaphth-2-ol is shown below:
© CCEA
The preparation is as follows:
Dissolve 5.0 g of phenylamine in 16 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 16 cm3 of water contained in a small beaker. Diazotise by the addition of a solution of 40 g of sodium nitrite in 20 cm3 of water. The temperature is maintained at 0–5 °C. The aqueous solution of sodium nitrite is added in portions until after 4 minutes the solution gives an immediate positive test for excess of nitrous acid with moist potassium iodide starch paper. Any precipitated phenylamine hydrochloride dissolves during the diazotisation to give a clear solution of the highly soluble diazonium salt.
Prepare a solution of 7.0 g of naphth-2-ol in 45 cm3 of 10% sodium hydroxide solution in a 250 cm3 beaker and cool the solution to 5 °C. Add the cold diazonium salt solution very slowly. A red colour develops and red crystals of 1-phenylazonaphth-2-ol soon separate. When all the diazonium salt solution has been added allow the mixture to stand in an ice bath for 30 minutes with occasional stirring. Filter the solution through a Buchner funnel with gentle suction, wash well with water and drain thoroughly by pressing the crystals. Recrystallise the product from pure ethanoic acid. Filter the recrystallised product with suction, wash with a little ethanol and dry between filter paper. The yield of deep red crystals is 3.0 g. The melting point is 131–2 °C.
(a) Explain why phenylamine is more soluble in hydrochloric acid than in water.

(b) Explain why the temperature is maintained at 0–5 °C.

GENERAL MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
Chemistry
157 GCE Chemistry Specimen Assessment Material Version 3: 16.11.21
General Marking Instructions
IntroductionThe main purpose of the mark scheme is to ensure that examinations are marked accurately, consistently and fairly. The mark scheme provides examiners with an indication of the nature and range of candidates’ responses likely to be worthy of credit. It also sets out the criteria which they should apply in allocating marks to candidates’ responses.
Assessment objectivesBelow are the assessment objectives for GCE Chemistry:
Candidates should be able to:
AO1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures.
AO2 Apply knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, processes, techniques and procedures:• in a theoretical context • in a practical context • when handling quantitative and qualitative data
AO3 Analyse, interpret and evaluate scientific information, ideas and evidence (in relation to particular issues)• make judgements and reach conclusions • develop and refine practical design and procedures
Quality of candidates’ responsesIn marking the examination papers, examiners should be looking for a quality of response reflecting the level of maturity which may reasonably be expected of a 17 or 18-year-old which is the age at which the majority of candidates sit their GCE examinations.
Flexibility in markingMark schemes are not intended to be totally prescriptive. No mark scheme can cover all the responses which candidates may produce. In the event of unanticipated answers, examiners are expected to use their professional judgement to assess the validity of answers. If an answer is particularly problematic, then examiners should seek the guidance of the Supervising Examiner.
Positive markingExaminers are encouraged to be positive in their marking, giving appropriate credit for what candidates know, understand and can do rather than penalising candidates for errors or omissions. The exception to this for GCE Chemistry is when Examiners are marking complex calculations and mechanisms when the Examiners are briefed to mark by error or omission. Examiners should make use of the whole of the available mark range for any particular question and be prepared to award full marks for a response which is as good as might reasonably be expected of a 17 or 18-year-old GCE candidate.
Awarding zero marksMarks should only be awarded for valid responses and no marks should be awarded for an answer which is completely incorrect or inappropriate.
158 GCE Chemistry Specimen Assessment Material Version 3: 16.11.21
Marking CalculationsIn marking answers involving calculations, examiners should apply the ‘carry error through’ rule so that candidates are not penalised more than once for a computational error. To avoid a candidate being penalised, marks can be awarded where correct conclusions or inferences are made from their incorrect calculations.
Types of mark schemesMark schemes for tasks or questions which require candidates to respond in extended written form are marked on the basis of levels of response which take account of the quality of written communication.
Other questions which require only short answers are marked on a point for point basis with marks awarded for each valid piece of information provided.
Levels of responseIn deciding which level of response to award, examiners should look for the number of indicative content points in candidate responses to ensure that the answer has been written to coincide with the question. In deciding which mark within a particular level to award to any response, quality of communication will be assessed and examiners are expected to use their professional judgement.
The following guidance is provided to assist examiners.
• Threshold performance: Response which just merits inclusion in the level but the quality of communication is basic should be awarded a mark at the bottom of the range.
• High performance: Response which fully satisfies the level description for both content and quality of communication should be awarded a mark at the top of the range.
Quality of written communicationQuality of written communication is taken into account in assessing candidates’ responses to all tasks and questions on theory examination papers that require them to respond in extended written form. These tasks and questions are marked on the basis of levels of response. The description for each level of response includes reference to the quality of written communication.
For conciseness, quality of written communication is distinguished within levels of response as follows:
Level C: Quality of written communication is basic.Level B: Quality of written communication is good.Level A: Quality of written communication is excellent.
In interpreting these level descriptions, examiners should refer to the more detailed guidance provided below:
Level C (Basic): Basic reference to scientific terminology. The candidate makes only a limited selection and use of an appropriate form and style of writing. The organisation of material may lack clarity and coherence. There is little use of specialist vocabulary. Presentation, spelling, punctuation and grammar may be such that intended meaning is not clear.
159 GCE Chemistry Specimen Assessment Material Version 3: 16.11.21
Level B (Good): Good reference to scientific terminology. The candidate makes a reasonable selection and use of an appropriate form and style of writing. Relevant material is organised with some clarity and coherence. There is some use of appropriate specialist vocabulary. Presentation, spelling, punctuation and grammar are sufficiently competent to make meaning clear.
Level A (Excellent): Excellent reference to scientific terminology. The candidate successfully selects and uses the most appropriate form and style of writing. Relevant material is organised with a high degree of clarity and coherence. There is widespread and accurate use of appropriate specialist vocabulary. Presentation, spelling, punctuation and grammar are of a sufficiently high standard to make meaning clear.
