    No, the diagram was right in this regard. Water should always flow in from the bottom so it moves slowly around the tube :/

    damn it I hope the 2 extra questions will cover me then.

    noooo are you serious...

    Although I looked up the curriculum there and we are not required to know the reaction of ethanol with Mg so maybe they might give it to us? :p

    Are you sure? We done it in class. It forms sodium ethoxide :cool:

    What were the ansers for question 3?
    ike the burette - i said it would measure a more accurate volume but that it would be slow to add it so would affect accuracy in measuring the temp rise.
    and then i said to measure it as accurately as possibe add quickly plus a lid to avoid heat loss?

    oh and for the last bit i said a the lower concentrations would have given a slower reaction so more time for heat losses


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭MarieCurie22


    Sounds familiar anyway!

    F*ck so hang on I took it as the molarity and didnt divide anything at the end? Ii got 4.3kj/mol?

    a sure look i did all 3 experiments and an extra question my a** is safe in the A2 and probably A1

    I remember at some stage our teacher told us that you don't put a base in the burette because it tends to jam the tap and the opening over time so I just wrote that down, couldn't really think of anything else!

    A) Definition
    B) Polystyrene
    C) More accurate, bases cause the tap to stick
    D) Use digital thermometer and use a lid to minimize heat loss
    E) Basic calculation
    F) Corrosive, burn your skin. Triangle symbol with the test tube and hand.

    For disadvantage would they accept takes longer to accurately measure?

    And what about stirring and using a standard mercury thermometer with more graduations on it and of a low specific heat capacity?

    Longer yeah but its still accurate!

    Stirring is alright, more graduations I dunno. Human error still could mess that up. In fairness the marking scheme could say anything!

    yeah is it just me or was this a "harder" paper....you know some years there like :confused: and then last year it was:):P ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166 ✭✭xJEx


    Is adding quickly alright for a way of ensuring accuracy?

    And can you not say the burette would take longer to add so thats a disadvantage? like the burette takes soooo long to empty so the heat rise would be totally inaccurate cause you'd loose loads of heat to surrounding by the time you had added it all?

    Is it ok for q 5 when dealing with bohrs theory being modified to talk about the exsistance of sublevels??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭Glee_GG


    Actually for Q6 the bit on benzene what did ye write for the two parts? We had a paragraph on benzene in general but I wasn't too sure about how to go about splitting it up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭yoppo

    I want the A1 so I had some nerves going in. Bits of it were sticky but overall is was no more difficult. I messed up the calculations slightly in one bit but its not like maths where it carries on. It's one mark for each maths slip! The main theory was easy enough. I'll find out in August!

    Im pretty sure I nabbed my A1....did extra qs to be sure...girls left early in mine in tears :/ so youre lucky :)

    I wrote carbon has 3sp2 hybridized orbitals which is uses to form two sigma bonds to two other carbons and one hydrogen.

    for part (ii) i wrote carbon then uses its p orbitals which are above and below the plane of the ring to form pi bonds with carbon using its 6 pi electrons. These 6 pi electrons are delocalised in the ring inferring extra stability which means it has resonance structures. Then I drew benzene.

    Yo yoppo did you do the moles per litre of I2 AND O2 did you see that? Also is the steam trap the flaw? cause tbh the taps are fine to me?

    it was: 200 x Mol I2/1 = 9.4 x .02/2

    Because it's 2:1 (said in ques), divide answer above by 2 to get moles/L

    Then x32 to get g/L
    Then x1000 to get mg/L
    Thats your answer in ppm

    Ii just did V1M1 N1 using different N1s for Oxygen again :) i was just wondering...and wbu the flaw in q2?

    Wait wait, so I2 is simple calculation, no dividing by two, and you divide by two only in part (i) which asks for Oxygen, right?

    Is it ok for q 5 when dealing with bohrs theory being modified to talk about the exsistance of sublevels??

    I think they were looking for the electrons move in a wave motion not in a fixed orbit like Bohr thought.
    Not sure sublevels would be right, could be though you never know with the marking scheme. :p

    it said one other....which suggests there was more than one answer....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 522 ✭✭✭Glee_GG

    The fact that it didn't account for orbitals and sub-levels is a valid point.

    The last time it was asked, digital thermometer wasn't accepted as full marks ;) #justsaying

    Yeah you can say it didnt explain the discovery of subelevels! There'es loads of reasons.. I just said only worked well for hydrogen and not for atoms with more than 1 electron :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 346 ✭✭weirdspider


    same and I put an arrow pointing towards it and wrote "this is hand"

    Loool describing those symbols is so funny. I was like "hand with test tube dropping liquid"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭yoppo


    Wait wait, so I2 is simple calculation, no dividing by two, and you divide by two only in part (i) which asks for Oxygen, right?

    I did divide by two. I said that above! Sure it's a 2:1 ratio!

    I said the steam valve should be in the water and also they should have included a steam trap.

    what other subjects are you doing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭yoppo


    you crazycrazy person!!!!!!!! why!!!?

    Because I only got a 2:2 in my degree and want to do med. Can't do grad med with it. I needed a 2:1 but missed out by 2%....

    Biology, Physics, Farming, Home Ec, Hons Maths, Pass English.

    Physics, farming and Hons Maths are new.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 161 ✭✭Hamza Malik


    Did 9 questions questions 1, 4, 5 and 6 were great <3

    The mechanism question was good too :)

    Q 2 and 9 and 8 were iffy :(

    And I also did question 3 in the end which was ok. Hopefully I got a B1 or even an A2. One can dream.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭yoppo


    For question 8 it said reagent not condition so hopefully they will take HCL and UV Light!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 Hazardous Garden Of Eden

    Heat produced = 4.342 kJ
    Heat of reaction = -57.89 kJ/mol

    Q4(c)
    How many neutrons = 4.8x10^22

    Q6(c)
    Heat change = -126.4 kJ/mol

    Q9(c)
    Kc = 123

    Q10(b)(ii)
    Mass of aluminium = 346.75 g
    Mass of Aluminium Oxide = 1032.75 g

    I don't think the aluminium one is right there - more like 432g and 816g


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭yoppo


    Are you sure about all these?

    Q6, 10c and 11 are right. I changed the temperature for the specific heat capacity to kelvin so I made a slip there (thank you physics!)....

    I'm so mad at myself !
    I did all my calculations wrong!
    PH , Kc , and winkler method!
    Couldn't focus at all
    Had some mistakes in ex2
    Do you think I might get a B2 ?!
