a difficult paper. the cut off should come down from last years 76% because i think we can all agree it was more difficult. i put the sulpuric acid going to the electrolysis lol. i put it to the neutralisation one first then changed it. touch and go if i get an A i think. if the cut off is lower then im okay i think.

Well, I have noticed some weird problem-solving questions. In the 2003 exam they put a weird problem-solving question for the second last question; this seems to be a new addition to the exam as they did not have that in the 2000-2002 exams as far as I can see. Maybe they are putting this in due to the fact that there are no more Grid questions?

What did everyone put for the question where you had to describe how you could find the molar volume of hydrogen?

The enthalpy of combustion was negative, sorry, forgot to type that in

I think thats the one with Electrolysis.
and the volume of hydrogen obatined when the moles of hydrogen are known from the charge equations (current * time)
This should have been easy marks as I remember doing this as a PS in 2003 exam.

not all comes from AH
and not all AH comes from first year uni

yes
under the correct conditions i.e. closed system CO2 can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid

Yes, I got that too btw ally, I think that the CO2 dissolving thing might have something to do with polar covalent bonds in the CO2 molecule (not sure if this is right coz I havn't checked the data book - I think I might burn it lol!  ) |
laura
carbonyl is polar but CO2 is overall non-polar since its a linear moleucle and is sysmmetrical so partial polarisation of molecule cancels, so technically this is not the correct answer. but it does use the hydrogen bonding in water to bond to the oxygen etc but the mechanism of this is beyond the scope of Higher.

The last question was set in a problem solving context so you did not need any real understanding. Yeah it was quite weird when I looked at it, but I think I understood what it was asking for. |
the last q's are usually A level so don't worry.
in general as the paper progressed it gets more difficult thats for both sections a and b.

I drew sulphuric acid going into the neutraliser bit, not because I knew that was where it was supposed to go, but because I couldn't really see anywhere else it could go  I thought that question was quite hard (Q3 I think it was) I didn't really get what gas A and process B were - I just guessed. I think I put extraction for process B but I don't even think that is a type of reaction! btw, 55.55 sounds vaguely familiar, except I think I rounded it to 55.56 - do you think that'll be ok?  |
it depends on the no of sig. figures in the data in the question
however watch rounding if u put even +/- 0.01 too high u will lost at least 1/2 mark.

if thats for gas measurement either inverted tube or gas syringe is acceptable

The enthalpy of neutralisation was -54.4 kJ mol -1
What u think an A will be if its between 80 and 75% I might just manage it!

thought to be more 78 way as it was on the whole slightly easier than 2002, not confirmed of course
markers meeting for H Chemistry next week so some ppl's scripts will already be marked by Monday
as they use some scripts as examples. think of those lucky ppl. its a pity their mark sits in the SQa computer for a few more months dormant.

The gas was used to make sulphuric acid.... so it had to be sulphur dioxide. I think i wrote trioxide though  |
sulphur trioxide is the gas used to make sulphuric acid
the sulphur dioxide is converted to SO3 but its the SO3 which reacts

i just brought a huge batch of news to most ppl again
SO2 is NOT directly used
it shud have been easy if ur teacher explained the contact process

So the answer was Sulpur Trioxide?
Our class certianly did not get taught about the Contact Process; is it in the syllabus?
If it was Sulpur Trioxide I doubt many people got the answer; with the exception on blueheaduk of course.

I didnt see the questiona and its nto official
But i think they could ask for PS
SO3 is definitely the gas used to manufacture sulhphuric acid.
hope this helps

well seen as how it gave u the apparatus to use, it had to be the graduated tube as the gas syringe wasnt there! nice try for trying to look smart but i knew i was right anyway
