• 1000 g of N 2 → 1000 × 1.214 = 1214g
allow error carried forward eg
= 1.214g NH
or
• 1000 ×
gains 2 marks if correct answer not given
1000 ×
(823.5g) 1000 × calculated correctly (1647.05g)
gains 1 mark, 2 marks if correctly calculated
gains 1 mark if or
other correct methods
look for the key ideas in the methods above

(b) 25 / 25.035 or ecf from (a)
gains 2 marks even when there is no working
incorrect answer then 304/(their answer from (a)) × 100 gains
1mark
or using figures from part (b)
27.6 / 28
gains 2 marks even when there is no working
accept 27 for 1 mark
if answers incorrect then304/1100 × 100 gains 1 mark2
(c) (i) increase yield1
reaction is exothermic
or
allow decreased yield because rate of reaction is slower /fewer
collisions for 2 marks
must get both points for 2 marks1
(ii) increase yield1
plus one from:
• more (gaseous) reactant molecules than (gaseous)product
molecules (owtte)
accept greater volume on the left than the right owtte
• increased rate of reaction / more collisions1

(d) any one from:
economic
• large town provides workforce
• workers do not have to travel far to the factory. (owtte)
• transport infrastructure already in place for large town.
(owtte)
• factory brings prosperity to town (owtte)
• factory provides employment
• reduced tourism
• reduction in local house prices
• any other sensible economic factor linked to town1
any one from:
safety
• escape of dangerous / harmful chemicals / gases (owtte)
do not allow polluting gases unqualified
• danger of increased traffic
• risk of explosion.(owtte) /danger of high pressure
• consequences of an accident could be severe if the town is
close
• any other sensible safety idea1
Page 35 of 37Immanuel+College

any one from:
environmental
• factory might be unsightly (owtte)
• screening of factory (owtte)
• loss of habitats (owtte)
• plant trees/ hedges etc on and around plant site
• pollution of water / air / soil could harm plants / animals or
noise pollution
must be explained
• CO 2 is produced by burning fuels / heating
• CO 2 causes global warming / any effect of global warming
• eye sore
• any other sensible environmental factor1

(a) (i) atmosphere
or (fractional distillation of liquid) air1
(ii) eithermore (chance) of them colliding/
not just ‘faster’
coming into contactorthe volume of the product / the ammonia is
less than /only half the volume of the reactants / the nitrogen and
hydrogen

9
(iii) 3 × (1 ×2) of hydrogen→ 2 × (14 +1 ×3) of ammonia
accept 6 parts of hydrogen →34 parts of ammonia or similari.e.
candidate uses the atomic masses and works correctly from
theequation
1
= 225 (tonnes/t)
unit not required1

(b) (i) megapascal(s)
accept million pascal(s)1
(ii) 28 (%)
accept any answer in the range 28.0 to 28.5 inclusive1
(iii) reduce the temperature and increase the pressure
both required1
(iv) eitheruse a catalyst
accept use iron as a catalyst
accept use iron which has been more finely divided
accept use iron / catalyst with a bigger (surface) area
accept use a better catalyst1
orremove the ammonia (as it is produced)
accept react the ammonia with or dissolve the ammonia in
water(as it is produced)
1
(c) ammonianitric acidphosphoric acid
all three on the left correct
ammonia potassium chloride
all three on the right correct
water or water vapour
accept ‘steam’1
