What examiners said

Many candidates correctly identified the part of the graph where melting was occurring.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0654/41 Q5(c)(i) (Cambridge)

The idea that melting of a pure substance occurs at one temperature only was well understood. Being able to explain this in terms of the horizontal part of the graph was less well expressed.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0654/41 Q5(c)(ii) (Cambridge)

Candidates easily recognised the dot-and-cross diagram for water.
