What examiners said

Almost all candidates attempted to calculate the volume occupied by the gas. Many candidates incorrectly calculated the formula mass Mr of H2 as 1, resulting in an error carried forward and a final answer of 2.4. Some candidates used alternative methods to calculate the mass by first calculating the moles of zinc used as they recognised there was a 1:1 ratio. This was acceptable.
