Asslamu Alikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatoho... scouserlfc


2 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.....(9701/1/O/N/03)
A garden fertiliser is said to have a phosphorus content of 30.0% ‘P2O5 soluble in water’.
What is the percentage by mass of phosphorus in the fertiliser?
A 6.55%
B 13.1 %
C 26.2%
D 30.0%

Why is the Answer B ?

5 The table gives the successive ionisation energies for an element X.
............................................1st... 2nd.... 3rd ....4th...... 5th.... .6th
ionisation energy / kJ mol–1.... 950. 1800 .2700.. 4800 ....6000...12300
What could be the formula of the chloride of X?
A XCl
B XCl2
C XCl3
D XCl4

Why is the answer C?

Wallaikum As Salam !
Its quite simple actually !
it tells u first that the fertilizer has 30% P2O5 content so it means actually u have 100g of fertilizer of which 30g is P2O5
so just find the mass of phosphorus content using simple ratio ,
142(Mr of P2O5) ----- 30
62 ------ x
x=13.1%

there is a big jump in iE values from 3 to 4 abt 2000 KJ but this isnt really enuf to tell us that the new shell starts here probably it shows the start of s subshell so now u can be assured that its from grp 5 now remember how hydrogen bonds with nitrogen and requires exactly 1 electron like Cl atoms and has a formula NH3 so Cl will have NCl3 (the use of atoms here is just for an example its not necessary its the real one ) :D

I will be very thankful for help. I have a problem in question number 3(c)(iii) calculation part of 9701/02/M/J/04. I could not understand the marking scheme. Somebody please help me with a step by step procedure.

Use first the part i answer for 3c which is 0.05 now use the ratio of the equation as acid is in a ratio of 1:2 with the ammonia half the moles of the ammonia and u have the moles of H2SO4 which is 0.025 now use the conc. of H2SO4 and the moles to get the volume of H2SO4 in dm^3 and convert it into cm^3 by multiplying with 1000 . :)

27 What will react differently with the two isomeric pentanols, (CH3)3CCH2OH and
(CH3)2CHCH2CH2OH?
A acidified aqueous potassium manganate(VII)
B concentrated sulphuric acid
C phosphorus pentachloride
D sodium
Sorry....But can anyone explain why C...?

WaAlaikum us Salam wr wb

I think it is C b/c the rxn of alcohols with halogen atom is a type of nucleophilic reaction(Sn reaction)
There are two types of Sn reactions Sn1 and Sn2
(CH3)3CCH2OH will react by Sn1 mechanism
And (CH3)2CHCH2CH2OH will react by Sn2 mechanism.

In the upper atmosphere chlorofluoroalkanes (CFCs) are broken down to give chlorine radicals
but not fluorine radicals.
What is the best explanation for this?
A Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine.
B Fluorine radicals are less stable than chlorine radicals.
C The C–F bond is stronger than the C–Cl bond.
D The chlorine atom is larger than the fluorine atom

C. Because the C-Cl bond is much weaker than C-F bond, it is easily broken and chlorine free radicals are released.

I am switching from Fsc. to A levels and i have decided to take A levels privately through Cambridge.Anyone please reply me with the answers of the following:
1)From which books can i prepare the `advanced practical skills` paper for chemistry?Is there any practical book for A levels as in case of Fsc.
2)On the registration form,there are two choices for practical paper of chemistry(33: Advanced practical Skills 33
34: Advanced practical Skills 34).What is the difference b/w these two options?Which shud i prefer?
3)On the registration form,one option in the maths section says`64: Carried Forward June 2012 AS 1+4
Mark`what does this 1+4 mean?
Thanks.

Asalam-o-Alaikum!
could someone answer this question for me and tell me HOW to do it..please, asap??
When 1 mol of N2O4 gas is allowed to come to equilibrium with NO2 gas under standard conditions, only 20% of the N2O4 is converted to NO2.
N2O4 <> 2NO2 Hr = + 58 kJmol-1
Calculate the value of Kc for this reaction. Assume that the volume of the reaction mixture is 1 dm3.
