Marking points [Justification]: Appropriate change in temperature (any value in the range 5 – 15 oC) Appropriate mass and volume of acid used to achieve the change in temperature. Appropriate mass and volume of acid in terms of appropriate quantity i.e. not too small or large amount (at least 0.1 g and 20 cm3) Procedure: Use a 100 cm 3 measuring cylinder to measure out 100 cm 3 of HC l(aq) HO 2 HO 1

Using an electronic balance, weigh out accurately about 0.2 g of powdered Mg(s) into a dry empty weighing bottle. Use a -10 to 100 oC thermometer to measure the temperature of the 100 cm3 of HCl(aq) acid in the styrofoam cup. Pour the powered Mg(s) into the Styrofoam cup containing the HCl(aq), stir and measure the highest temperature reached. Record the final temperature reached. Reweigh the weighing bottle to determine the exact amount of Mg(s) that was poured into the styrofoam cup. Marking points [Procedures]: Correct sequence of steps that will lead to useful data. Selection of apparatus is appropriate and types of apparatus used are clearly stated. (Note: this mark is only awarded if the suggested procedure is appropriate.) [5] (c) Marking points [Tables]: Correct headers and units for both tables to record data about mass and temperature. Mass of weighing bottle + Mg(s) / g Mass of weighing bottle + residual Mg(s) after transferring / g Mass of Mg(s) / g Initial temperature of HCl(aq) / oC Final temperature of HCl(aq) / oC Temperature change / oC [1] (d) Mass of Mg(s) = a g
