9701 CHEMISTRY
9701/34
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner
Report for Teachers.
Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.
Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2015 series for most
Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some
Cambridge O Level components.

Headings and units correct for accurate titration and headings match
readings.
Initial / final (burette) reading / volume or Reading / volume at
start / finish and Titre or Volume / FB 2 added / used [not difference]
and Units: (cm3) or / cm3 or in cm3 or cm3 by every entry
(iii)
All accurate burette readings to 0.05 cm3 Do not award this mark if:
50(.00) is used as an initial burette reading;
more than one final burette reading is 50.(00);
any burette reading is greater than 50.(00).

Examiner checks and corrects titre subtractions where necessary. Examiner selects the best mean titre
using a hierarchy:
two identical titres within 0.05 cm3, two or more titres within 0.10 cm3 etc.
Examiner subtracts (corrected) candidates titre from Supervisors titre.

Candidate must average two (or more) titres that are all within
0.20 cm3.
Working must be shown or ticks must be put next to the two (or more)
accurate readings selected.
The mean should normally be quoted to 2 dp rounded to the nearest
0.01. Example: 26.667 must be rounded to 26.67.
