(ii) Bronze is harder than copper // Copper is less harder than Bronze (iii) The orderly arrangement of atoms in copper enables the layers of atoms to slide on one another when force is applied. // In bronze, the presence of atoms of other metals that are of different sizes disturb the orderly arrangement of atoms in the metal and its reduce the layer of atoms from sliding. 3 3 3 1(e) (i) Different types of materials (copper and bronze) (ii) Size / diameter of dent (iii) Size / diameter and mass of steel ball bearing // height of the weight // mass of the weight 3 1(f) (i) Bronze is harder than copper // Copper is less harder than bronze (ii) When the size / diameter of dent is smaller, the material is harder 3 3 1(g) Pure metal Alloy Iron , Chromium, Tin Steel, Brass, Pewter 3 1(h) Less than 1.4 cm 3 Skema Jawapan Ujian Pertengahan Tahun 2012 Kertas 3 Question Explanation Maximum score 2(a) [Able to write the problem statement of the experiment accurately.] Sample answer: How does a catalyst affect the rate of reaction? ** [If aim is given, award score 2]. 3 [Able to write the problem statement of the experiment correctly.] Sample answer: Does a catalyst affect the rate of reaction? 2 [Able to write a relevant idea about the problem statement of the experiment//Able to write aim of experiment correctly.] Sample answer: Catalyst affects the rate of reaction . // Manganese(IV) oxide affects the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. 1 [No response given or wrong response] 0 Question Explanation Maximum score 2(b) [Able to state the three variables correctly.] Sample answer: Manipulated variable : Presence of manganese(IV) oxide Responding variable : Rate of Reaction Constant variable : Concentration and volume of hydrogen peroxide solution // temperature of hydrogen peroxide solution. 3 [Able to state any two variables correctly.] 2 [Able to state only one variable correctly.] 1 [No response given or wrong response] 0 Question Explanation Maximum score Skema Jawapan Ujian Pertengahan Tahun 2012 Kertas 3 2(c) [Able to state the relationship correctly between the manipulated variable and the responding variable with direction] Suggested answer: Catalyst/ manganese(IV) oxide increases the rate of reaction. 3 [Able to state the relationship between the manipulated variable and the responding variable .] Sample answer: Catalyst / Manganese (IV) oxide changes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. 2 [Able to state the idea of hypothesis] Sample answer: Catalyst/ manganese(IV) oxide affects the rate of reaction. 1 [No response given or wrong response] 0 Question Explanation Maximum score 2(d) ** [Able to state complete list of substances and apparatus.] Sample answer: Substances: 20-volume hydrogen peroxide solution, manganese(IV) oxide powder.

Question Explanation Maximum score 2(d) [Able to state complete list of substances and apparatus.] Sample answer: Substances: [10- 20-volume] hydrogen peroxide solution, manganese(IV) oxide powder, water. Apparatus: 50cm 3 measuring cylinder, 100 cm 3 conical flask, basin, delivery tube, burette, retort stand with clamp, stop watch. 3 [Able to state all substances, conical flask, delivery tube, basin, burette and stop watch correctly.] 2 [Able to state all substances, conical flask, basin, burette and stop watch correctly} 1 [No response given or wrong response] 0 Question Explanation Maximum score 3(e) [Able to list all the steps in the procedure correctly] Suggested answer: 1. A burette is filled with water until it is full and then inverted into a basin of water. The burette is clamped onto a retort stand. 2. The meniscus of the water in the burette is adjusted to a reading of 50cm 3 . It is recorded as the initial burette reading. 3. (50- 100 cm 3 ) of [10- 20-volume] hydrogen peroxide solution is measured and poured into a conical flask. 4. 0.5 2.0 g manganese(IV) oxide is added into the conical flask. 5. The conical flask is immediately stoppered and the stopwatch is started. 6. The conical flask is shaken throughout the experiment. 7. The volume of gas collected in the burette is recorded at intervals of 30 seconds. 8. Repeat the experiment without adding the manganese(IV) oxide powder. 3 [Able to list down Steps 1,3,4,5,7,8] 2 [Able to list down steps 3,4,5.7] 1 [No response given or wrong response] 0 Question Explanation Maximum score Skema Jawapan Ujian Pertengahan Tahun 2012 Kertas 3 2(f) [Able to tabulate the data with the following aspects] 1.
