question is 99% correct! What does everyone think they got: A*: A:3 B: 1 C: 1 D: E:
WE ARE MISSING 20-25 MARKS, LET’S GO!!
Nothing from the aq ions in solution question is here^
Does anyone remember these questions? ^ (PAGE 9)
Anyone 31.07??

Does anyone remember the practical questions? And what did you get for them.

- One was why you have the stopper funnel I think?

- ? (So reactants don’t escape??)
- one was why does the solute need to be filtered to remove any solid?
- I put so it doesn’t react with hcl but I had no clue
- ? I think the first part was why does the solid need to keep being added to the
solute??
- I put something to do with solubility and so that it had all dissolved

- Relative atomic mass question? (2 Marks) hasn’t been added I don’t think
- I put weighted average mass of an atom of an element taking into account its
naturally occurring isotopes relative to 1/12 the relative atomic mass of carbon-12
Was the oxygen and chlorine question because of size to charge
Why was Na2O enthalpy higher than NaCl and why was the identity of the metal Mg

the asking
element: Plum pudding model I found it quite nice icl, but its mixed
What two Electrons orbit in shells. opinions
differences (in modern model) Protons and Meh
exist neutrons WASNT IT 2 DIFFERENCES?
between in the nucleus, whereas in Theres always paper 2 and 3 to do
Thomson's Thompson’s model there was only much better on if you feel like u
model positive charge didnt do amazin. + if it was hard,
and the Electrons are the grade boundaries may be lower
current negatively charged, not Yh it will be 68% for A instead of
Model: positive as suggested 70%
above. How’d you find it
Electrons are in different fixed I absolutely hated the 6
energy shells. markers😭both of them made me
Positive charge is cryyyy
concentrated in a small Haha literally same
nucleus IRON CATALYST ARE U FR?😭
New model shows that Is this aqa i dont remember a
most of the atom is suggest th e element question?
made of empty space ● Im pretty sure the question
was give the identity of the 1
model and i thought it was a
Te(g)-----> Te^+(g)+e^- plum pudding model
Te (g) + e- -> Te+ (g) + YES^^^^ thats exactly what i
Electron 2e-+ Thought
impact
equation of Can you say that the electrons are
tellurium negative as opposed that in the
diagram they showed circles?

Q2 - ke Mr = 130 Would u get 4 marks if you put 130.4 5

=1/2mv^2 Mass in g = 130.4 for Mr and 2.17x10^-22 for mass??
X = 2.17x 10^-22

Sped of Te The middle option noooo 1

where the they have particles change velocity not KE🩷
the same kinetic energy

6 marker 2Fe(2+) + s2o8(2-) → I effed this up because i wrote 6

about 2fe(3+) + 2so4(2-) about heterogeneous catalysts
catalysts I in a different state, i still wrote
all the equations and graph and
catalyst definition so maybe i got
like 3 marks?
2I(-) + 2fe(3+) →i I drew the graph like the first order
2fe(2+) + i2 graph 📉 something like this? Is
● Fe(2+) that anywhere correct-yes!!
● Homogenous, gets In 2nd equation i put autocatalysis
remade but an overall homogenous is this
● catalyzes The okay or will i lose marks?
reaction by providing
an alternate reaction In overall equation i accidentally
pathway with lower ea, included Fe the catalyst in the
without being used up - overall eq ,Do 1 lose mark fo the
Overall reaction - 2i(-) + whole bullet point TT and i think i
s2o8(2-) → i2 + get the graph wrong
2so4(2-) Negative curve is it wrong
I did a graph that looks kinda like
1/x (steep at beginning and slows
down)
Is it a heterogenous catalyst?
No all ions so all aq
I did everything right except drew
the graph going up instead of
down in conc ffs
So u cant talk about catalyst
adsorbing onto surface?
Dont think so but may be wrong
nah thats hetero only fuck

Describe the bidentate/multidentate ISNT THERE MORE PRODUCTS 2

chelate ligands have higher SO PROCDUTS MORE
effect entropy state so are DISORDERED? deltaS is positive?
more stable and Friend hii
displace the What we thinking what grades/
monodentate ones boundaries - think very low usually
When bidentae and this paper is 70-72 for an A so
multidentate ligands probably 68-70? I think its gonna
replace monodentate be around 88 for an A
ligands in a complex 73 for an A last year wasnt it? It
Bidentate and may be lower this time round,
 multidentate ligands especially if the paper w
replace monodentate as found to be difficult
ligands from complexes Yea i found out many people
- resulting in a more thought it wasn’t
stable complex. quite hard. - lets just
hope they aint lying.
More molecules of products than My teacher told our class that last
reactants so products are more year’s class said they found it ezpz
disordered but then they all got Es….yikes.
frrrr - I just need an A just praying
So large increase in entropy (so to them examiner on s is it for
delta G is negative, reaction more med?
feasible) Im sure youll be fine, even w a B
tbh. Did u apply via UCAS?

Solubility of Sr(OH)2 + 2HCL -> What was this question? Please 6

Sr(OH)2 SrCl2 + 2h20 given context g per 100cm^3
Mean titre was 32.40 + Could u get marks without the
32.45 = 32.425 chemical equation? Yes you lose 1
0.789 i think tho > okay thanks what are
the marks fo?r

Identity of Mg (Answer has to be a group 2 4?

metal metal) charge and there were 2 of them
Highlight Mg this is right so i think it was mg
Sn? How many marks do you think
id get if i put carbon i halved the
mr

Percentage 75.9% I got 82 i got 30.4 4

Purity I also got 30.4
Should be 30.4
What was this I got 76.1 am I cooked - i think a
question? range was given
I got 55
Calculated impurity im dead
I got 30.4%
I got 30.1% bruh
74.7% lol
I ot 30.4% too
Do u not have to divide by 2 bc
there was 2 moles in the first
 equation so it would be 38%
First eq was 2VO so must divide by
2 no?
I got 65.5? Where did I go wrong
same I got that too
Is this correct?
I got 30. Something

cj

pH 6.67 WERE U MEANT TO MINUS OH- 3

yes - because it was a strong base
and acid reaction,had to find the
excess which was OH- so using
12.31 Kw had to find H+ ions. NO im so 5
cooked i realised i forgot to do that
i got 13.5 😪

Mole fraction 0.23 What was the fraction version 2

of 0.23 as a frac is 23/100 no i mean
H2 the mole fraction like over total
moles. Ohhh lol. Uhm i cant
remember, srry
YOU ONLY GET 1 MARK IF U
WRITE IT AS A FRACTION
It was 0.92/4 what thats got to be
bs its called mole “fraction”

How is the partial pressure 0.24 is

it not atleast couple hundred
cause the total pressure was
 6000kpa

Calculate Kp Kp = 2.57x10-5 0.6?5, 0.0321 4

at 6000kPa Total pressure was like 6000
and state Units: kPa-1
unis Did u have to multiply by total
Pressure??????? Yes then put it
into Kp formula

Feasible 4000 something 4500? 4288.59 because K to celcius yay 4?

Temperature 4800??? I got 4590 Do u need to do 3sf
in (rounded don't think it said
Celsius
Shouldve been ~4300
(410,000 J/90.1) - 273

What No effect Temperature is the only factor

happens if that changes kp 1
the volume
stop it i wrote no effect and then
of the
changed it 🫤
container is
bigger?

shape 3LP + 2BP = Linear No bent as lone pairs. Linear has no 1

of lone pairs.
Cl3 ^ -

Tl bond angle 180 is it not 104 as it was bent shape 3

 Yh that what i though
Theres a positive so theres no lone
pair no?
I got two lone pairs cause te is group
6 so 6 add 2 add 1 means there is 2
bp and 2lp right?
It was Tl not Te????????
How is it not 180?
It was 4 pairs, 2 lone 2 bonding
wasnt it what?
It was Tl? How is there lone pairs?
There was no lone pairs?
What was the question again
Was bond angle of tullurium? Or was
that another thing
Yh but what was the molecule
. Was it TlCl2- + was it not
It was TlCl2+ yah
Where is the lone pair coming from?
No idea

REDOX 2Cl- —> Cl2 + 2e- 3

EQUATIONS I put Cl2 —> 2Cl- + 2e-
OF 2ClO^3- + 12H^+ +
Cl 10e^- -> Cl2 + 6H2O
10Cl- + 2ClO3- + 12H+
-> 6Cl2 + 6H2O

[Fe(H2O)6]^3 2
+ reacts with Its cool if you did skeletal structure
ethanedioate for the carbons right? I still included
ions to form all the oxygens
complex X Yhh its fine cuz thats why i did
include the
charges

Why is the Just said more shells of electrons 1

atomic
radius of
calcium
bigger than
magnesium

Why is the -BaSO4 produced which is Does the precipitate prevent further
reaction insoluble and will prevent more reaction?????
faster barium Ba2+ ions and SO42- ions I said that its faster because it loses
does barium coming into contact with each electrons more easily which is wrong
stop reacting other </3 think you had to describe that
before there were weaker metallic bonds.
finished

Reaction of Mg(s) + H2O(g) —> MgO(s) + H2(g) State symbols 1

magnesium Right yeah thanks
with steam Nws :)

Born haber 2Na+(g) +2e- + O-(g) 2

labels 2Na (s) + ½ O2 (g)

Born Haber Around +2576 I got 2752 2

Enthalpy of +1.00 LOVED THIS 2

solution

why wasn’t Couldn't find out the value? 1

sodium Forms hydroxide? Sodium oxide is insoluble - ionic
oxide in the Impossible to prevent strength so insoluble - wrote the
data gaseous ions reacting same thing
book Enthalpy change at/ near 0?
Reaction too vigorous?/ too
dangerous to carry out irl

Rapidly reacts to form NaOH

Why does O2- has a higher charge than Cl-, More polar ? greater efoa ? 2?
Na2O have a electrostatic attraction is greater
higher lattice between Na+ and O2- than Na+
dissociation and Cl-, so more energy is
than NaCl? required to dissociate the lattice

What is a Assumes that the ions are Bonds are perfectly ionic/non 1
perfectly ionic perfectly spherical covalent character? Maybe you need
model And charge distributed evenly 2 of 3 points for the mark
Ions are “point charges”

● Chlorin Cl2 + H2O ⇌ HCl +HClO Can you put 1

e with Cl2 + H2O = Cl- + CO- + 2H+

and the role of
chlorine

practical
question?
EMF 0.78V Where you getting zn from
Conventional Fe(s)| Dk cant remember elements lol
cell Fe2+(aq)||VO2+(aq),H+ Wasnt it Fe2 +
(aq),V3+(aq)| Yes and what other ?
H2O(l)|Pt(s) Vo2+ ??
Ffs cant remember
Does it not also include v2+??
Equation at negative electrode: Answer me plsss
Fe -> Fe2+ + 2e- OMG I PUT V2+ AS WELL
Okay maybe im wrong then
But was it not from VO2+ to V3+??
Yeah but then i gets further
reduced
REally??
Do we need the pt?😔
I think so my friend did the same
will i get 0 for conventional one 😭
Yes you will
Was the question 1 mark? If 2
maybe you
I am sure it was
Did you need state symbols???

Isnt the V3+ next to the salt bridge?

Equation to Na + Al +2H2 -> 1

form NaAlH4
NaAlH4

Why does IONIC BONDING I had more electrons so more vdw 3

NaAlH4 AlH4 therefore negative force,probably wrong= same
have a high Electrostatic attraction
between Na+ and Does it not have hydrogen bonding
melting
[AlH4]- cuz i wrote about that💀
point?
Giant ionic lattice with ^No there is no N,O or F atoms
electrostatic attraction
between ions running I wrote that theres both covalent and
all throughout the ionic bonding so a substructure is
lattice. formed with higher strength
Large amount of
energy is required to
overcome strong
 electrostatic attraction.

Reaction H3PO4 +3NaOH → This can be in multiples rightttt? 1

between Na3PO4 + 3H2O Yes :)
H3PO4 and
excess NaOH

what is the Li+ + CoO2 + e- → YIPPEE 1

half Li+[CoO2]-
equation at
the
positive Is positive not anode where
electrode oxidation is ? So Li to Li + NO
Positive electrode so +ve so
Reduction
I thought it was the negative
electrode

Why are reaction, reactants Reaction is reversible same 1

lithium reformed upon Is equilibrium okay or not?
lithium ion recharging Yes
batteries The reactions can be I said lithium regenerated i dont think
reversed thats right tho lmao
rechargeable?

Was like 9.4 question
