INSTRUCTIONS
MAY/JUNE SESSION 2000 Morning 1 hour 30 minutes
Great care should be taken that any confidential information given
does not reach the candidates either directly or indirectly.
Teachers responsible for the examination are NOT allowed to consult the question paper before the
day of the examination. However, they are asked to carry out a titration between solutions P and Q,
using the instructions below, to ensure that the concentrations of the two solutions fall within the given
range.
‘Pipette a 25.0 cm3 portion of P into a flask and titrate with Q. At first, the purple colour disappears
rapidly. As the titration proceeds, this disappearance is less rapid. At the end-point, one drop of Q
produces a pink colour that does not disappear on swirling.’
A 25.0 cm3 portion of P should react with between 23.8 cm3 and 24.8 cm3 of Q.
On the day of the examination, the Supervisor is asked to perform the experiments in Questions 1 and
2 and to record the results on a spare copy of the question paper clearly labelled ‘Supervisor’s
Results’, followed by the number of the Centre . This must be enclosed with the scripts. Unless this is
done candidates may be unavoidably penalised.
Note: Candidates are NOT allowed to refer to notebooks and textbooks during the examination.
It is essential that candidates accept the descriptions of the solutions as they appear on the
question paper.
This question paper consists of 5 printed pages and 3 blank pages.

For Question 1
Candidates will require the following.
(a) A freshly prepared solution containing 27.0 g of hydrated iron(II) sulphate, FeSO4.7H2O,
dissolved in 1 dm3 of approximately 0.5 mol/dm3 sulphuric acid, labelled P.
Allow each candidate approximately 150 cm3.
(b) A solution of 0.020 mol/dm3 potassium manganate(VII) (3.2 g of KMnO4 dissolved in 1 dm3 of
distilled water), labelled Q.
Note: Some variation in the above concentrations is acceptable but it is essential that 25.0 cm3 of P
reacts with between 23.8 cm3 and 24.8 cm3 of Q (or 20.0 cm3 of P reacts with between 19.0 cm3 and
19.8 cm3 of Q).
The following apparatus should be provided for each candidate;

a 50 cm3 burette;
a 25 cm3 (or 20 cm3) pipette;
a flask or other suitable vessel for titration.
All candidates at a Centre should have pipettes of the same capacity.
If candidates from more than one Centre are taking the examination, it is essential that a copy of the
Supervisor’s Results should be sent with the scripts for each Centre.

For Question 2
Each candidate will require the following.
(a) A solution containing approximately 17 g of potassium iodide, KI, dissolved in 1 dm3 of

distilled water, labelled R.
Sodium iodide (15 g dissolved in 1 dm3 of distilled water), may be used in place of potassium
iodide if it is more readily available. Note that on the question paper R is described as a
solution of a sodium salt.
(b) A solution containing approximately 60 g of potassium bromide, KBr, dissolved in 1 dm3 of

distilled water, labelled S.
Sodium bromide (50 g dissolved in 1 dm3 of distilled water), may be used in place of
potassium bromide if it is more readily available. Note that on the question paper S is
described as a solution of a sodium salt.
Allow each candidate approximately 30 cm3 .
(c) A solution containing 50 g of hydrated sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O3.5H2O, dissolved in

1 dm3 of distilled water, labelled T.
This solution should be freshly prepared.
Allow each candidate approximately 30 cm3 .
(d) Access to
(i) approximately 0.020 mol/dm3 potassium manganate(VII) dissolved in approximately

0.05 mol/dm3 sulphuric acid, labelled ‘acidified potassium manganate(VII)’,
(ii) any solvent used for dissolving halogens e.g. hexane or

1,1,1-trichloroethane, labelled L,
(iii) approximately 0.05 mol/dm3 aqueous silver nitrate,
(iv) the usual reagents needed to test for the gases mentioned in the syllabus, including
limewater, approximately 0.1 mol/dm3 aqueous potassium dichromate(VI), K2Cr2O7, red
and blue litmus paper or Universal Indicator paper, splints.
(e) A supply of test-tubes, approximately 125 mm x 16 mm.
(f) A stirring rod.
In both questions, more material may be issued without penalty, if required, but this should not be
necessary.
It is advisable to issue candidates with a pipette filler (or equivalent safety device) and safety goggles.
The standard Report Form to be included with the scripts is given on pages 7 and 8. Please detach
and enclose it with the scripts in the normal way.
See also the side lined notes on pages 2, 7 and 8.

REPORT ON PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY
ORDINARY LEVEL, JUNE 2000
1 (a) Supervisor’s results

Supervisors must use a spare copy of the question paper to report their results for Q.1
and Q.2 and to enclose this copy of the question paper with the candidates’ answers. This
copy of the question paper should be clearly labelled ‘Supervisor’s Results’. Failure to
enclose these results and this report form may lead to candidates being unavoidably
penalised.
If candidates from more than one Centre are taking the examination, it is essential that
a copy of the ‘Supervisor’s Results’ should be sent with the scripts from each Centre. At
larger centres where scripts are to be despatched in more than one envelope, it is
essential that a copy of the Supervisor’s Results is enclosed in each envelope.
(b) The index number of the candidates in each session were as follows.

2 The Supervisor is invited to report details of any difficulties experienced by candidates, giving
names and index numbers.
This report should include reference to
(a) any general difficulties encountered in making preparation;
(b) difficulties due to faulty apparatus or material;
(c) accidents to apparatus or materials.
Other cases of individual hardship, e.g. illness, temporary disability, should be reported direct to
CIE on the normal ‘Application for Special Consideration’ form.

If the candidates’ Centre number is different from the number of the Centre at which the examination
was taken, the Supervisor should write both Centre numbers in the space provided.
