it had to be a covalent chloride

They asked for a Period 3 chloride which conducts electricity when soluble. The answer was indeed Al and it's correct.

AlCl3 + 6H2O --> [Al(H2O)6]2+ + 3Cl-

[Al(H2O)6]2+ --> Al(H2O)5OH + H+ .. so yeah it'd conduct electricity ... AND H isn't in period 3 so that's incorrect.

i wrote Phosphorus and it is period 3 and disolves to form HCl which conducts :cool:

Well.. here's some info which proves it further.

That's from Wikipedia page of AlCl3.. honestly I picked Al as a tukka :D but now it's confirmed correct :D

They asked for a covalent chloride from the list of elements given in the periodic table on the top of the question. It does not have to be from period 3

as far as I remember it asked for a period 3 chloride. If it asked from the elements then H would be correct. I would say confirm from some other people as well whether it asked for Period 3 or from the given elements.

AlCL3 is an ionic chloride which conducts electricity. Al2Cl6 is a covalent chloride which does NOT conduct electricity.

What sort of gt do you expect? If it rises above 46 I will be in trouble..... :'(

Well I found the paper relatively easy.. All of my friends from my center found the paper very easy.. even the weaker candidates were saying they could get 40 above.. So One never knows what will happen.

I think it will remain in the 45-47 range...

I messed up the last question. Apart from it everything is fine except for a couple of slips worth 1 or 2 marks. How much do you expect to get?

Me? My paper went awesome. I completed it in 30 minutes or so.. and went through the whole paper again.. Apart from 3 marks of the 1st question and 2 marks for that Cl2 to ICl increase(Doubtful in both those) .. My paper went good and all answers have been verified.

Insha Allah hoping to get marks in the 50s :)
