Introduction

The items here are intended to promote the use of extended-response items in high-quality classroom assessments. Teachers may wish to use these items in a variety of ways to improve the degree to which students develop and demonstrate an understanding of the concepts described in the Chemistry 30 Program of Studies.

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 2 Chemistry 30

Assessment of Communication Skills in the ClassroomAlthough written-response questions are no longer part of the Chemistry 30 Diploma Examination, we encourage the use of written-response questions in classroom assessment. In this way, there can be a greater assessment of the outcomes included in the program of studies.

The following pages give examples of written-response questions, together with scoring rubrics and examples of student work.

Chemistry is a discipline in which there is a stringent set of rules for proper scientific communication. Communication skills are most evident in, and can be directly assessed on, the written-response questions.

In previous years, we have scored analytic-style written-response questions out of 6, with 5 marks for chemistry content and 1 mark for communication. The communication mark is partially determined by the extent to which the question has been attempted. Communication is marked based on organization, clarity, use of correct scientific conventions, and use of proper language conventions.

Proper scientific conventions include:

• labelling of graphs and diagrams

• mathematical formulas and equations

• significant digits, units of measurement, and unit conversion

• states of matter

• abbreviations

In previous years, we have scored holistic written-response questions using the holistic scoring rubrics, which integrate the assessment of communication skills into the marking matrix that is used to assess the overall response.

Therefore, on the analytic questions, communication skills can be assessed more independently; whereas on the holistic question, communication can be assessed as part of the total response.

The intent of evaluating communication is to reward students for creating responses that are on topic, clear, concise, and well written using the conventions of scientific language.

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 3 Chemistry 30

Communication Guidelines for Classroom AssessmentThe following list is a set of guidelines that were used during the marking of the communication scale for any of the written-response questions.

• Do not score work that the student has indicated should not be scored—this includes partially erased or clearly crossed-out work.

• If a student’s response contains contradictory information, then score the work as either ambiguous or incorrect.

• Do not score any irrelevant and extra information that is not incorrect but that does not contribute to the correct response.

• The omission of leading zeros is not a scientific error and therefore will not be scored as such.

• States, units, significant digits, and ion charges must be included within the response. The student must be consistent in their use. (The exception to this is equilibrium expressions, which do not require units.) Units used should respect the conventions of the International System of Units (SI).

• Significant digits in the final recorded answer must be correct. It is not necessary to carry extra significant digits in intermediate steps, but it is a preferred practice to carry at least one extra digit throughout intermediate steps. If the number of significant digits in intermediate steps has been truncated (is less than the required number), then this will be considered an error.

• If spelling and grammatical errors limit the understanding of the response and cause ambiguity, then this will be considered a communication error.

• Graphs should include an appropriate title, labelled axes with units, and an appropriate scale. The manipulated variable should always be on the x-axis.

• When the student is asked to draw a diagram of a cell, the diagram should include labels for the anode, cathode (or the specific substances), reagent solutions (electrolytes), a salt bridge or porous cup, voltmeter or power source, and a connecting wire to the electrodes. Students are not required, unless specifically asked, to label the migration of ions, the solution in the salt bridge (although the diagram or procedure should indicate that there is a solution present), or the electron flow. If a student chooses to include these labels, then they will also be marked as part of the response.

• The y-axis on an energy diagram can be labelled Ep, H, or ∆H with appropriate units. However, on diploma examinations and field tests the y-axis will be labelled Ep (kJ).

• Portions of a response not assessed for chemistry marks will not be assessed for communication.

Significant DigitsThe examples below illustrate the proper use of significant digits for the Chemistry 30 Diploma Examination in a response.

Example 1

A 10.0 mL sample of a Fe2+(aq) solution of unknown concentration is titrated with a standardized 0.120 mol/L KMnO4(aq) solution. The following data are recorded.

Trial I II III

Final burette reading (mL) 10.10 19.22 28.33

Initial burette reading (mL) 1.00 10.10 19.22

Titrant added (mL) 9.10* 9.12 9.11

The concentration of the Fe2+(aq) is __________.

Reaction Equation

MnO4–(aq) + 8 H+(aq) + 5 Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 4 H2O(l) + 5 Fe3+(aq)

Average volume of titrant added is 9.11 mL

[Fe2+(aq)] = 9.11 mL MnO4–(aq) × 0.120 mol/L MnO4

–(aq) × 5 mol Fe2+(aq)

×1

1 mol MnO4–(aq) 10.0 mL Fe2+(aq)

[Fe2+(aq)] = 0.547 mol/L

Example 2

The pH of a 0.100 mol/L solution of ethanoic acid is __________.

Ka = 1.8 × 10–5 =

xx

(0.100 mol/L )

2

-

The value of x can be ignored when compared to 0.100 mol/L in the case of such a weak acid.

Ka is approximately x0.100 mol/L

2

x = [H3O+(aq)] = 0.001342pH = –log(0.001342 mol/L) = 2.87

2 decimal places (10.10–1.00)

according to the addition/subtraction

rules leaves 3 significant digits

* Final answer has 3 significant digits (least number present according to the multiplication/division rule)

Additional digits carried through on an interim basis

Final answer has 2 significant digits

Exact number, therefore does not change the final number of significant digits

Ka value has 2 significant digits

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 5 Chemistry 30

Example 3

A student conducts a calorimetry experiment to determine the energy transferred when Solution A is mixed with Solution B. The data collected are shown below. Assume the specific heat capacity for each solution is the same as that of water.

Mass of Solution A (g) 100.0

Mass of Solution B (g) 100.0

Mass of final solution mixture (g) 200.0

Initial temperature of solutions A and B (°C) 20.0

Final temperature of the solution mixture (°C) 23.0

DH = mcDt

DH = (200.0 g) (4.19 J/g.°C) (3.0 °C)

DH = 2.5 kJ

The original data are limited to 3 significant digits.

The final answer should be rounded to the same number

of significant digits contained in the input data for the

calculation DH = mcDt that has the fewest number of

significant digits.

The final answer has 2 significant digits because the input data for the DH = mcDt calculation is limited by the temperature difference of 3.0 °C, which has 2 significant digits.

The resulting temperature has 2 significant digits.

Analytic Communication Scoring Guide

Communication Scoring Guide for Closed-Response (Analytic) Questions

Score Criteria

1

The teacher does not have to interpret any part of the response, and no reference to the question is needed to understand the response. The response is clear, concise, and presented in a logical manner. Scientific conventions have been followed. The response may contain a minor error.

0Ambiguous

or >1 scientific

error

The teacher has to interpret the response (ambiguous) or the response is so poorly organized that the marker has to refer to the question in order to understand the response. The response may be ambiguous, incomprehensible, and/or disorganized, and/or contains errors (more than one) in scientific conventions.

0 50% or less of the question has been attempted. There is not enough of a response present to be able to score for communication.

NR No response given.

Scientific conventions to be followed:

• Correct, appropriate units are used throughout the response.

• States are given throughout the response except in calculation labels and when a formula replaces a word in a sentence.

• Significant digits are used throughout the response.

• Branch names in organic molecules are in alphabetical order, using lowest possible numbers to indicate the position of branches.

*Note: Content and communication are scored on separate scales for the analytic question.

Explanation of the Holistic Scoring Guide

Holistic questions are designed so that students can demonstrate their understanding of science from more than one valid approach or perspective and are assessed in a holistic fashion. The holistic question will be scored on two rubrics that combine to form a 5-point scale.

Teachers must read the student response in its entirety in order to decide whether it contains the key component(s) for the particular question. The teacher then looks for the necessary support details. These two aspects are used to assess the quality of students’ responses. Communication skills and scientific conventions are considered in the determination of the overall quality of the key component(s) and support.

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 7 Chemistry 30

Holistic Scoring Rubrics

Score Key–no Key Criteria

1 Key

(weight of 2)

The student has addressed the key component(s) of the question asked. The key component(s) of the question can be found in the stem of the question.

0 No Key The student has not addressed the key component(s) of the question asked.

Score Support

3 Very Good to

Excellent

The student has provided good support for all of the bullets. The support may include a minor error/weakness in one of the support bullets.

2 Satisfactory

to Good

The student has provided support for the majority of the bullets but not necessarily all of the bullets. The support provided may contain minor errors/weaknesses. There is more correct than incorrect support.

1 Minimal

The student has provided minimal support for one or more of the bullets, but there are many errors throughout. There is more incorrect than correct support.

0 Limited to No support

The student has not provided enough support to demonstrate more than a limited understanding. The support is either off topic or contains major errors throughout all of the bullets.

1. a. Determine the enthalpy change for the flaring process represented by the equation above.

(3 marks)

b. Sketch and label a potential energy diagram that represents the enthalpy change for the flaring process.

(2 marks)

Use the following information to answer the next question.

Large amounts of ammonia for the production of fertilizers and other consumer goods are made by the Haber process. During the Haber process, hydrogen gas combines with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia gas. This process is carried out in the presence of a catalyst.

2. a. Write a balanced equilibrium equation for the Haber process. Include the enthalpy change as an energy term in the balanced equation.

(3 marks)

b. Describe what happens to the equilibrium position and the value of the equilibrium constant when the temperature of the system is increased from 200 °C to 500 °C.

(2 marks)

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 9 Chemistry 30

Use the following information to answer the next question.

The copper covering on the hull of a ship, which is the main body of the ship that is in contact with water, corrodes when it is exposed to water and oxygen. To protect against such corrosion on British naval ships, Sir Humphry Davy was the first to use blocks of either zinc, tin, or iron as sacrificial anodes, which were attached to the ship’s hull.

Explain how a block of zinc, tin, or iron would prevent the corrosion of the copper on a ship’s hull.

Your response should include

• an explanation of the corrosion of copper

• an explanation of how a block of zinc, tin, or iron protects the copper from corrosion

• relevant balanced equations and E°cell calculations to support each of your explanations

Sample Student Responses and Rationales

A number of sample responses to written-response questions are given on the following pages. For each, the score awarded and a rationale for that score are also provided.

Written-Response Questions—Student Response 1

Score—6 out of 6 (5 for content and 1 for communication)

RationaleThis example meets the requirements of the standard of excellence.

Rationale The correct method for determining ∆H is used, but the final answer does not have the correct number of significant digits. The enthalpy diagram has the correct shape and is labelled.

The response received 1 mark for communication because the only error in communication was in part a with the significant digits in the final answer.

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 14 Chemistry 30

Written-Response Questions—Student Response 2

Score—4 out of 6 (4 for content and 0 for communication)

RationaleThis example meets the requirements of the acceptable standard.

The correct method for determining ∆H is used, but the units included are incorrect, as are the significant digits. The shape of the enthalpy diagram is correct but the diagram is missing a title.

The response received 0 marks for communication because of the errors in significant digits and in units.

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 15 Chemistry 30

Written-Response Questions—Student Response 3

Score—3 out of 6 (3 for content and 0 for communication)

RationaleThis example meets the minimum requirements of the acceptable standard.

The equation was correctly balanced with an equilibrium arrow. The enthalpy calculation appears to have been done correctly, but an incorrect value was substituted into the equation, and was on the wrong side of the equation. The shift and the change in the Kc were consistent with the student’s equation.

The response received 0 for communication, as units were incorrect more than once.

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 16 Chemistry 30

Written-Response Questions—Student Response 4

Score—2 out of 6 (1 for content and 1 for communication)

RationaleThis example does not meet the requirements of the acceptable standard.

The equation was not correctly balanced and did not have an equilibrium arrow. The value for the enthalpy change was correct. The enthalpy change was on the wrong side of the equation. The change in the value of the equilibrium constant was incorrect and no shift was indicated.

The response received 1 mark for communication, as states and units were correct.

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 17 Chemistry 30

Written-Response Questions—Student Response 5

Score—5 out of 5(Holistically Scored)

RationaleThis example meets the requirements of the standard of excellence.

The response addresses the question asked by making reference to the sacrificial anode reacting instead of copper (key component). The response explains why the sacrificial anode reacts instead of copper and it is supported with correct equations and potential difference calculations. Scientific conventions are followed and the information is clearly communicated.

A total score of 5 was awarded (2 for key component and 3 for support).

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 18 Chemistry 30

Written-Response Questions—Student Response 6

Score—3 out of 5(Holistically Scored)

RationaleThis example just meets the minimum requirements of the acceptable standard.

The student has addressed the question by making reference to the sacrificial anode in a comparison to copper in a minimal way (key component). The student does not provide correct equations, or an explanation of why the sacrificial anode reacts instead of copper. The student does provide a potential difference calculation for the equation the student provided. The student has provided minimal support for one of the bullets, but there is more incorrect than correct support.

A total score of 3 was awarded (2 for key component and 1 for support).

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 19 Chemistry 30

Written-Response Questions—Student Response 7

Score—1 out of 5(Holistically Scored)

RationaleThis example does not meet the requirements of the acceptable standard.

The student has not addressed the question as the student has not made a correct reference to Zn as a sacrificial anode in comparison to copper. The student does not provide correct equations or an explanation of why zinc reacts instead of copper. The student does provide a potential difference calculation for the equation they provided. The student has provided an explanation of the corrosion of copper, but there is more incorrect than correct support.

A total score of 1 was awarded (0 for key component and 1 for support).

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 26 Chemistry 30

June 2009 Holistic Split Scoring Guide

Score Key–no Key Criteria

1 Key

(weighted 2)

The student has addressed the question by comparing the two fuels, hydrogen and ethyne gas, in terms of an enthalpy (enthalpy of combustion) comparison. This may be in terms of kJ/g, kJ/mol, or total kJ produced using the results obtained through their calculations. Note that there may be errors in their calculations: e.g., reversing Hess’s law or missing coefficients, correct calculation of Hess’s Law but incorrect kJ/mol or kJ/g.

0 No Key

The student has not addressed the question asked, or only one fuel has been addressed and there is no comparison.

Score Support

3 Very Good to Excellent

The student has provided good support for all of the bullets. The support may include a minor error/weakness in one of the support bullets.

2 Satisfactory

to Good

The student has provided support for the majority of the bullets but not necessarily all of the bullets; the support provided may contain minor errors/weaknesses. There is more correct than incorrect support.

1 Minimal

The student has provided minimal support for one or more of the bullets, but there are many errors throughout. There is more incorrect than correct support.

0 Limited to No support

The student has not provided enough support to demonstrate more than a limited understanding. The support is either off topic or contains major errors throughout all of the bullets.

Minor errors: Unbalanced equation

Method for calculating kJ/g is correct, but the student has made a minor calculation error (the comparison is g/kJ versus kJ/g)

Identifying the best fuel in terms of energy, and then a positive reason for the other fuel

Using H2O(l) instead of H2O(g)

Major errors: Incorrect method for calculating Hess’s Law, or kJ/mol or kJ/g

Incorrect products in the equation, or a fuel other than hydrogen or ethyne is used

Not making a choice for the best fuel in terms of energy

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 27 Chemistry 30

Use the following information to answer the first question.

Methane gas can be produced in a laboratory by reacting carbon disulfide, CS2(g), and hydrogen gas, as represented by the equation below.

CS2(g) + 4 H2(g) ⇌ CH4(g) + 2 H2S(g)

The initial concentrations that are placed into an empty flask at a temperature of 90.0 °C are 0.175 mol/L CS2(g) and 0.310 mol/L H2(g). When equilibrium is established, 0.125 mol/L CS2(g) is present.

Written Response—10% (5 marks for content, 1 mark for overall communication)

a. Determine the concentration of hydrogen gas present in the flask at equilibrium.

(3 marks)

b. Write the equilibrium law expression for the reaction, and determine the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 90.0 °C.

(2 marks)

Use the following information to answer the next question.

A two-layer catalytic converter has been designed for diesel engines in automobiles. The first layer in the catalytic converter removes some nitrogen monoxide gas from the exhaust gas and converts it to ammonia gas. In the second layer, ammonia gas is removed as it reacts with the remaining nitrogen monoxide gas. The reactions in the two layers occur at 300 °C and are represented by the following equations.

Equation I 2 NO(g) + 3 H2(g) catalyst

Chem30_06 Arrow catalyst

2 NH3(g) + O2(g)

Equation II 4 NH3(g) + 6 NO(g) catalyst

Chem30_06 Arrow catalyst

5 N2(g) + 6 H2O(g)

Written Response—15%

Compare the two reactions that occur in the catalytic converter. Identify one similarity and one difference between the reactions in terms of enthalpy.

Your response should include

• enthalpy calculations per mole of nitrogen monoxide gas for each reaction

• enthalpy diagrams that represent the enthalpy change that occurs in each reaction

Use the following information to answer the next question.

Dinitrogen tetraoxide was used as one of the rocket fuels on the lunar landers of the Apollo missions. In the gaseous phase, it decomposes according to the following equation. N2O4(g) ⇌ 2 NO2(g) ∆H° = +55.3 kJ

A technician placed a sample of N2O4(g) in a 2.00 L flask and allowed the system to reach equilibrium. At 25 °C, the Kc was 5.40 × 10–3, and the concentration of N2O4(g) at equilibrium was 3.00 × 10–1 mol/L.

Written Response—10% (5 marks for content, 1 mark for overall communication)

a. Determine the amount, in moles, of NO2(g) present in the 2.00 L flask at equilibrium. (3 marks)

b. Identify whether the value of Kc will increase, decrease, or remain the same when heat is added to the system. Support your answer with an explanation.

Question 11 – Holistic Split Scoring Guide

Score Key–no Key Criteria

2 Key

The student has addressed the question by designing an experiment (procedure or design) involving a cell (voltaic or electrolytic, and not necessarily lead–iron) and has manipulated the mass of one of the electrodes (or in the student’s understanding manipulated the mass), and the student’s responding variable relates to measuring the cell potential.

0 No Key

The student has not addressed the question asked.

Score Support

3 Very Good to Excellent

The student has provided good support for all of the bullets. The support may include a minor error/weakness in one of the support bullets.

2 Satisfactory

to Good

The student has provided support for the majority of the bullets but not necessarily all of the bullets; the support provided may contain minor errors/weaknesses. There is more correct than incorrect support.

1 Minimal

The student has provided minimal support for one or more of the bullets, but there are many errors throughout. There is more incorrect than correct support.

0 Limited to No support

The student has not provided enough support to demonstrate more than a limited understanding. The support is either off topic or contains major errors throughout all of the bullets.

Minor errors: Unbalanced equation

Method for calculating potential difference is correct, but the student has made a calculation error

Using a solution in the salt bridge that would precipitate

Major errors: Electrolytic cell

A voltaic cell other than a lead–iron cell

Missing electrolyte or other major error in the cell diagram

Experimental design or procedure provided

A student performs a calorimetry experiment to determine the molar enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The student uses an aluminium can as a calorimeter. The combustion of liquid ethanol produces gaseous products, as represented by the equation below.

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g)

The data collected during the experiment are recorded below.

Calorimetry Experiment Data

Mass of aluminium can 10.65 g

Mass of water 250.00 g

Initial mass of ethanol burner 256.34 g

Final mass of ethanol burner 252.45 g

Initial temperature of water and aluminium can 21.40 °C

Final temperature of water and aluminium can 82.30 °C

Alberta Education, Assessment Sector 54 Chemistry 30

Written Response—10% (5 marks for content, 1 mark for overall communication)

a. Calculate the student’s experimental molar enthalpy of combustion of ethanol.(3 marks)

b. The theoretical value of the molar enthalpy of combustion of ethanol is higher than that obtained in the student’s experiment. Identify an improvement that could be made to the experimental design and explain how your suggestion would reduce experimental error in the calorimetry experiment.

Question 14 – Holistic Split Scoring Guide

Score Key–no Key Criteria

2 Key

The student has addressed the question asked by designing an experiment (procedure or design) involving a cell (voltaic or electrolytic, and not necessarily nickel-zinc) and has attempted to manipulate the concentration of nickel solution (or in the student’s understanding manipulated the concentration), and the student’s responding variable relates to measuring the cell potential.

0 No Key

The student has not addressed the question asked.

Score Support

3 Very Good to Excellent

The student has provided good support for all of the bullets. The support may include a minor error/weakness in one of the support bullets.

2 Satisfactory

to Good

The student has provided support for the majority of the bullets but not necessarily all of the bullets; the support provided may contain minor errors/weaknesses. There is more correct than incorrect support.

1 Minimal

The student has provided minimal support for one or more of the bullets, but there are many errors throughout. There is more incorrect than correct support.

0 Limited to No support

The student has not provided enough support to demonstrate more than a limited understanding. The support is either off topic or contains major errors throughout all of the bullets.

Minor errors: Unbalanced equation

Method for calculating potential difference is correct, but the student has made a calculation error

Using a solution in the salt bridge that would precipitate

Major errors: Electrolytic cell, or a voltaic cell other than nickel-zinc

Missing electrolyte or other major error in the cell diagram

Flawed experimental design, or procedure not provided
