B10(a) Polyamide: (many) CONH links form 1

Condensation: small molecule / water / HCl / produced (if
monomer names mark scored, mark molecule expelled
consequentially) 1
Polymer: many monomers join / long chain formed / large molecule
mass molecule formed 1
Monomers are hexane dioic acid and diaminohexane /
hexane dioyl dichloride and diaminohexane /
adipyl chloride and diaminohexane /
adipic acid and diaminohexane /
a dioic acid with a diamine /
a dioyl chloride with a diamine /
on diagram, one monomer with two COOH groups, or -COCL
groups, one with two NH2 groups 3
(b) Same link / CONH / both polyamides / both polypeptides / both
contain amide links / both contain peptide link 1
Monomer units different / nylon has many similar monomers /
proteins have many different monomers 1
(c)(i) heat with (dilute) acid / alkali / named acid or alkali 1
(ii) 2 or more spots from mixture 1
single spots from amino acids 1
proline and lysine spots same height as mixture spots / compare Rf 1

B11(a) Group 1 / alkali metals 1

Electrolysis 1
M / too / very reactive / high in reactivity series / not reduced by C /
needs a lot of energy 1
(b) add dilute hydrochloric acid (1)
titrate / add acid until fizzing stops (or carbonate to acid)
NOT filter off excess carbonate
Titration detail: with and without indicator
Crystallisation: evaporate / heat to reduce volume / boil
NOT evaporate to dryness
‘Heat’ alone not enough, must state or imply volume reduction
leave to crystallise / cool concentrated solution / filter off crystals
Any (3) from 4 4
(c) Method 1: No. mols Cl = 1.42 / 35.5 = 0.04 1
Mass of M = 6.72 – 1.42 = 5.30 1
Relative Atomic Mass of M = 5.30 / 0.04 = 132.5 1
OR
Method 2: %ge of Cl in MCl = 1.42/6.72 x 100 = 21.1% 1
21.1% of MCl = 35.5
Mr of MCI = 21.1 / 35.5 x 100 = 168 1
Ar of M = 168 – 35.5 = 132.5 1
[For both methods, 265/266 score 1 only]

B12(a) More ammonia 1

(b)(i) 27% +/- 1 1
(ii) advantage: faster reaction (at higher temp) / kinetic explanation e.g.
more molecules have enough activation energy to react / more
frequent collisions 1
disadvantage: lower percentage or yield of ammonia (at
equilibrium) / less ammonia / increased cost of fuel / increased
energy demand / use more fuel 1
(c) Industrial process and correctly linked catalyst 2
Sulphuric acid / Contact Process; vanadium(V) oxide / vanadium
oxide / V2O5 / Pt
Margarine manufacture; nickel
Ethanol from ethene (and steam); phosphoric acid (on silica)
Nitric acid; platinum (rhodium)
the catalyst is not used up / can be recovered / recycled 1
(d) Hydrogen pops when lit 1
Ammonia turns (damp) litmus blue / UI blue / methyl orange yellow
/ screened methyl orange green / phenolphthalein pink / pH paper
blue / fumes with HCl / smell 1
Nitrogen no change to either test / negative results / N2 is the one left 1
