General information about practical exams

Centres must follow the guidance on science practical exams given in the Cambridge Handbook.

Safety

Supervisors must follow national and local regulations relating to safety and first aid.

Only those procedures described in the question paper should be attempted.

Supervisors must inform candidates that materials and apparatus used in the exam should be treated
with caution. Suitable eye protection should be used where necessary.

The following hazard codes are used in these confidential instructions, where relevant:

C corrosive MH moderate hazard

HH health hazard T acutely toxic
F flammable O oxidising
N hazardous to the aquatic environment

Hazard data sheets relating to substances used in this exam should be available from your chemical
supplier.

Before the exam

● The packets containing the question papers must not be opened before the exam.
● It is assumed that standard school laboratory facilities, as indicated in the Guide to Planning
Practical Science, will be available.
● Spare materials and apparatus for the tasks set must be available for candidates, if required.

During the exam

● It must be made clear to candidates at the start of the exam that they may request spare materials
and apparatus for the tasks set.
● Where specified, the supervisor must perform the experiments and record the results as instructed.
This must be done out of sight of the candidates, using the same materials and apparatus as the
candidates.
● Any assistance provided to candidates must be recorded in the supervisor’s report.
● If any materials or apparatus need to be replaced, for example, in the event of breakage or loss,
this must be recorded in the supervisor’s report.

After the exam

● The supervisor must complete a report for each practical session held and each laboratory used.
● Each packet of scripts returned to Cambridge International must contain the following items:

● the scripts of the candidates specified on the bar code label provided
● the supervisor’s results relevant to these candidates
● the supervisor’s reports relevant to these candidates
● seating plans for each practical session, referring to each candidate by candidate number

2 student investigated the rate of a reaction between sodium metabisulfite and potassium iodate.

A
In the reaction, starch was used as an indicator. At first the reacting mixture remained colourless
but then suddenly changed to a blue-black colour.

Five experiments were done. In each experiment the total volume of liquid was 45 cm3.

Experiment 1
●● Using a 10 cm3 measuring cylinder, 5 cm3 of aqueous sodium metabisulfite was poured into a
beaker.
●● Using another 10 cm3 measuring cylinder, 5 cm3 of aqueous starch was poured into the beaker.
●● Using a 25 cm3 measuring cylinder, 15 cm3 of distilled water was poured into the beaker.
●● Using another 25 cm3 measuring cylinder, 20 cm3 of aqueous potassium iodate was poured into
the beaker. At the same time a stop‑clock was started.
●● The mixture in the beaker was stirred until a sudden colour change was seen.
●● The stop‑clock was immediately stopped and the time recorded.
●● The beaker was rinsed with water.

Experiment 2
●●
Experiment 1 was repeated using 17
cm3 of distilled water and 18
cm3 of
aqueous potassium iodate.

Experiment 3
●●
Experiment 1 was repeated using 21
cm3 of distilled water and 14
cm3 of
aqueous potassium iodate.

Experiment 4
●●
Experiment 1 was repeated using 23
cm3 of distilled water and 12
cm3 of
aqueous potassium iodate.

Experiment 5

●● Using a measuring cylinder, 20 cm3 of dilute sulfuric acid were poured into a boiling tube.
●● A thermometer was used to measure the initial temperature of the acid.
●● A 1 cm length of magnesium ribbon was added to the acid in the boiling tube.
●● The acid and magnesium ribbon in the boiling tube were stirred continuously using a
thermometer.
●● The highest temperature reached by the mixture was measured.
●● The boiling tube was rinsed out with distilled water.

Experiment 2
●● E
xperiment 1 was repeated using a 2 cm length of magnesium ribbon instead of the 1 cm length.

Experiment 3
●● E
xperiment 1 was repeated using a 3 cm length of magnesium ribbon instead of the 1 cm length.
