Why are alkenes more reactive than alkanes?
And what was that weird indicator acid colour change thing in the pH question?

I said lower relative molecular mass and unsaturated

Think I just said very negative double bond, or something :L couldnt think of anything.

What did people get for the calculation for 3

Lovely paper, though just realised on the last bit of question 2 I forgot to multiply by 60%. How much marks will I lose for that?

Aaaargh keep realising stupid mistakes I made, for the short q about sublevels and orbitals I mixed up orbitals with shells

I said homogenous :? And propan-2-ol... uho...

same, homogenous all the way and i also threw in "which demonstrates intermediate compound theory" in case they were looking for it

But the cobalt is in crystallised form usually, and that makes it a solid catalyst against a liquid..? Doesnt it?

I said the OH- ions in the base remove the H+ ions which creates a strain and so the system is pushed towards the side with the H+ ions to make more of them, so the colour of that side (purple?) predominates.

This doesn't matter as it is only the conc that was changed

It does matter - it means that the new yield is half the old one.

It definnitely purple. I did a similar question this morning

Sunny!!

for that Q4 levels question

was it

5 and 5

Hermione Granger

think i got 9 and 5

I said 3 nd 5 but most likely wron as usual!

I said benzene for 6 c, the one about mtbe and what used to be added to fuel. And I said it was stopped cos it was carcinogenic... Any hope for me?

That's what I said too, hopefully they'll accept it

I said that other atoms bond easily with it.. like with the Br mechanism :P

ei.sderob

5 sublevels and 9 orbitals.

Helloxoxo

Does anyone know for definite the answers for 3 (c) and (e) ? Hope they're marked easily

Sunny!!

do people think methanal would be accepted as a volatile liquid?

No, its boiling point is -22C.. you have to get the vapour back into a liquid to measure its mass.

ah ok thanks anyway!

Do you reckon I'll lose many marks for doing the heat of formation backwards and coming out with 224 KJmol-1

Probably -3 at most. They might see it as just forgetting to throw in the minus sign so you should be grand really. Won't (hopefully not) change your grade.

Yera I don't think so, I got 10 questions done and was fairly confident with the most of it! I'd say it shouldn't be too much!

Sunny!!

you know in question 1 when they ask a primary standard reagent? will it be enough saying its a solution of known concentration


and i just took guesses and this is probarly rubbish

the liquid adjusted to the 0 mark? i said at eye level to bottom of meniscus


and the pipette for acuracy?

probarly aload of rubbish:(

Cheer up, they look right! For burette I just said open tap until what you said :pac:

gutted with the paper! the paper its self was fine! should have done more work on my part:(

Yeah I had the equation written out next to it, as well backwards! Yera, happens.

what did ye say for Q7 problems arising after adding too much of fluorin or chlorine(there the ones i chose). oh and q8 9(e) the reagent and catalyst to bring about conversion R. and the instantaneous rate at 60 seconds? aaaand 4e.the oxidation/reduction balance?

It was the calcium hydroxide and sulphuric acid, I think, making the water either too basic or too acidic. Hydrogen and a nickle catalyst
