Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2020). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [1] Cl
- [1] HCl AND H₂O
- [M1] CO₃²⁻
- [M2] propanoic acid – effervesce. (Propan-1-ol – no reaction)
- [1] ultraviolet light / uv
- [1] homolytic fission (of chlorine (gas) / Cl₂)
- [1] carbonyl / aldehyde / ketone
- [1] tertiary halogenoalkane
- [M1] C₂H₅C⁺HCH₃
- [M2] CH₃CH₂CH₂C⁺H₂
- [M1] C₂H₅C⁺HCH₃
- [M2] (more/2 alkyl groups attached so) it has the greater inductive / electron donating effect
