C n H n+ M. (a) (i) hydrogen / H and carbon / C answers can be in either order if letters given, must be capital H (b) (most) crude oil vaporises / evaporates or crude oil enters as a vapour (vapour) cools as it rises up the tower / column or tower / column cooler at the top or negative temperature gradient the fractions have different boiling / condensation points / ranges accept the larger the molecules, the higher the boiling point / condensation point so they will condense at different levels in the tower allow will collect at different levels if condensation mentioned allow will condense to give different fractions if no other mark is gained allow mark for mention of heating (c) (i) C 8 H 8 if one answer is given C8 H8 is the only acceptable answer credit any correct combination of alkanes and alkenes, eg C 5 H and C 3 H 6 hot / high temperature accept any temperature in the range 300 900 C heat is insufficient catalyst accept a named catalyst alumina or zeolites or aluminosilicates or broken pot ignore other named catalysts allow (mixing with) steam as an alternative to second marking point ignore pressure [9] M. (a) Methane has the lowest melting point and icosane has the highest boiling point Decane and icosane are liquid at 00 C Page 7 of 0
(b) water / H O either order carbon dioxide / CO allow hydrogen oxide (c) (i) fermentation any two from: sugar cane / plants absorb carbon dioxide ignore oxygen released growing sugar cane / plants reduces global warming allow ethanol from plants is carbon neutral renewable resource / sustainable accept conserves fossil fuels / petrol (iii) any two from: destruction of habitats / forests (to grow sugar cane/crops) fermentation releases carbon dioxide production plants cause visual pollution pollution from the transportation of sugar cane / Ethanol growing sugar cane / plants uses a lot of land [9] M3. (a) hydrogen accept correct symbols but not H carbon (b) (i) water accept limewater / calcium hydroxide accept Ca(OH) (iii) milky / cloudy / chalky / white Page 8 of 0
(c) (i) remains almost the same / increases then decreases slightly from 000 to 800 increases / rises after 800 rapidly (owtte) increased burning of hydrocarbon / (fossil) fuels, etc. or increased use of fuels accept deforestation accept (more) cars / lorries / planes etc. accept power stations do not accept just factories [9] M4. B will have higher melting point higher boiling point be less volatile be more viscous (allow less flammable) any two for mark each [] Page 9 of 0
