1(a) I: All the following data is recorded 1

• rough titration: both burette readings and the titre
• initial and final burette readings for two (or more) accurate titrations
Headings and units are not required for this mark
II: Titre values recorded for accurate titrations, and 1

Appropriate headings and units in the accurate titration table
• initial / start (burette) reading / volume
• final / end (burette) reading / volume
• titre or volume used / added (not “difference”)
• unit: / cm3 or (cm3) or in cm3 (for each heading)
or cm3 unit given for each volume recorded
III: All accurate burette readings are recorded to the nearest 0.05 cm3. 1
The requirement to record to 0.05 applies to burette readings, including 0.00 cm3 (if this was the initial reading), but it does
not apply to the titre.
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)
IV: Final uncorrected titre is within 0.10 cm3 of any previous uncorrected accurate titre. 1

PUBLISHED
Examiner rounds any accurate burette readings to the nearest 0.05 cm3, check subtractions and then select the “best” titres using the hierarchy:
• identical titres then
• accurate titres within 0.05 cm3, then
• accurate titres within 0.10 cm3, etc.
These best titres should be used to calculate the mean titre, expressed to nearest 0.01 cm3.
Examiner compares candidate’s tire value with that of the Supervisor.
Award V, VI and VII if δ ⩽ 0.30 (cm3) 1
Award V and VI if 0.30 < δ ⩽ 0.50 1
Award V, only, if 0.50 < δ ⩽ 0.80 1
1(b) Candidate calculates the mean correctly. 1
• Candidate must take the average of two (or more) titres that are within a total spread of not more than 0.20 cm3.
• Working / explanation must be shown or ticks must be put next to the two (or more) accurate readings selected.
• The mean should be quoted to 2 dp, and be rounded to nearest 0.01 cm3.
• (e.g. 26.667 cm3 must be rounded to 26.67 cm3)

PUBLISHED
1(b) Two special cases, where the mean need not be to 2 dp:
• Allow mean expressed to 3 dp only for 0.025 or 0.075 (e.g. 26.325 cm3)
• Allow mean if expressed to 1 dp, if all accurate burette readings were given to 1 dp and the mean is exactly
correct.
• (e.g. 26.0 and 26.2 = 26.1 is allowed)
• (e.g. 26.0 and 26.1 = 26.1 is wrong – should be 26.05)

• The rough titre was used to calculate the mean.
• The candidate did only one accurate titration.
• Burette readings were incorrectly subtracted to obtain any of the accurate titre values.
• All burette readings used to calculate the mean were recorded as integers
Note: the candidate’s mean will sometimes be marked correct even if it was different from the mean calculated by the
Examiner for the purpose of assessing accuracy.

more than one final burette reading is 50(.00);
any burette reading is greater than 50(.00)
IV The final accurate titre recorded is within 0.10 cm3 of any other accurate titre. 1

PUBLISHED
1(a) For assessment of accuracy (Q) marks, each Examiner should round any accurate burette readings to the nearest
0.05 cm3, check subtractions and then select the “best” titres for supervisor and candidate using the hierarchy:
two identical; titres within 0.05 cm3; titres within 0.1 cm3; etc.
These best titres should be used to calculate the mean titre, expressed to the nearest 0.01 cm3.
The candidate’s titre is compared to the supervisor’s titre and δ calculated.
V, VI and VII 3
Award V, VI and VII for δ ⩽ 0.20 cm3
Award V and VI for 0.20 cm3 < δ ⩽ 0.30 cm3
Award V for 0.30 cm3 < δ ⩽ 0.50 cm3
1(b) Check mean titre is correctly calculated from clearly selected values (ticks or working). 1
• Candidate must average two (or more) titres where the total spread is ⩽ 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.
[e.g. 26.667 must be rounded to 26.67]
Two special cases where the mean may not be to 2 dp:

allow mean to 3 dp only for 0.025 or 0.075 e.g. 26.325;
allow mean to 1 dp if all accurate burette readings were given to 1 dp and the mean is exactly correct.
[e.g. 26.0 and 26.2 = 26.1 is correct
but 26.0 and 26.1 = 26.1 is incorrect.]

• the rough titre was used to calculate the mean;
• candidate carried out only 1 accurate titration;
• burette readings were incorrectly subtracted to obtain any of the accurate titre values;
• all burette readings (resulting in titre values used in calculation of mean) are integers.
Note: the candidate’s mean will sometimes be marked as correct even if it is different from the mean calculated by the
examiner for the purpose of assessing accuracy.

1(a) I Correct headings 1

The following data are recorded in the space provided
• mass of container with FA 2
• mass of (empty) container
• mass of FA 2
‘Mass’ must be stated for each piece of data.
Unit / g (etc.) must be given for each piece of data.
Subtraction for mass of FA 2 used must be correct.
II All the following data are recorded 1

• two burette readings and titre for the rough titration
• initial and final burette readings for two (or more) accurate titrations
III Titre values recorded for accurate titrations, and Appropriate headings and units in the accurate titration table 1
• initial / start (burette) reading / volume
• final / end (burette) reading / volume
• titre or volume / FA 1 and used / added
• unit: / cm3 or (cm3) or in cm3 (for each heading)
or cm3 unit given for each volume recorded
IV All accurate burette readings are recorded to the nearest 0.05 cm3. 1

The requirement to record to 0.05 applies to burette readings, including 0.00 cm3 (if this was the initial reading), but it
does not apply to the titre.
This mark is not awarded 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)
V The final accurate titre recorded is within 0.10 cm3 of any other accurate titre. 1
• Do not include a reading if it is labelled “rough”.
• Do not award the mark if any ‘accurate’ burette readings (apart from initial 0 cm3) are given to zero dp.

PUBLISHED
For assessment of accuracy (Q) marks, each Examiner should round any burette readings to the nearest 0.05 cm3, check subtractions and
then select the “best” titres using the hierarchy:
• two (or more) accurate identical titres (ignoring any that are labelled “rough”), then
• two (or more) accurate titres within 0.05 cm3, then
• two (or more) accurate titres within 0.10 cm3, etc.
These best titres should be used to calculate the mean titre, expressed to nearest 0.01 cm3.
Calculate the candidate’s ratio to 1 dp, as shown below.

Ratio = correct mean titre ÷ correct mass
Calculate the difference (δ) between the candidate’s ratio and the supervisor’s ratio.
Accuracy marks are awarded as follows.
1(a) Award VI, VII and VIII if δ ⩽ 0.2 (cm3 g–1) 1
Award VI and VII if 0.2 < δ ⩽ 0.4 1
Award VI, only, if 0.4 < δ ⩽ 0.6 1
• Spread penalty: if the two “best” (corrected) titres used by the Examiner were ⩾ 0.50 cm3 apart, maximum 2
accuracy marks.
• If only a rough titration is shown, award Q marks based on that, maximum 2 accuracy marks.

PUBLISHED
1(b) Candidate calculates the mean correctly. 1

• Candidate must take the average of two (or more) titres that are within a total spread of not more than 0.20 cm3.
• Working / explanation must be shown or ticks must be put next to the two (or more) accurate readings selected.
• The mean should be quoted to 2 dp, and be rounded to nearest 0.01 cm3.
(e.g. 26.665 cm3 must be rounded to 26.67 cm3)
Two special cases, where the mean need not be to 2 dp:

• Allow mean expressed to 3 dp only for 0.025 or 0.075 (e.g. 26.325 cm3)
• Allow mean if expressed to 1 dp, if all accurate burette readings (apart from initial 0) were given to 1 dp and the
mean is exactly correct.
(e.g. 26.0 and 26.2 = 26.1 is allowed)
(e.g. 26.0 and 26.1 = 26.1 is wrong – should be 26.05)
This mark is not awarded if:

• The rough titre was used to calculate the mean.
• The candidate did only one accurate titration.
• Burette readings were incorrectly subtracted to obtain any of the accurate titre values.
• All burette readings used to calculate the mean were recorded as integers
Note: the candidate’s mean will sometimes be marked correct even if it was different from the mean calculated by the
Examiner for the purpose of assessing accuracy.
