Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

[shingiechingz@8]

Hey I did the same one!

I got the first question completely wrong since i didn't get the correct values for x and y, but do you think they will give error carried forawerd marks in the following ones? Because I didn't use the x=4 and y=10 since I thought I had the values correct. I got 6 and 16, which make nl sense!

For the one on lattices and all that, what type of lattice is ice? And the bonding between iodine?

i they will probably give u ecf marks . the values i got were x=3 and y=8 .Double your answers haha and as for lattice for ice i wrote crystal and bonding for ice covalent

It was pretty calm. I was so glad Enthalpy didnt come, Organic was soo calm. I am sure paper 4 is gonna be deadly. All the best guys!!

thanks so much!

Could someone please help with a calculation from Paper 3 (may/june_2009). Its the calculations portion of question #1. Ive attached my work. The question is a titration of borax vs HCl.

• I am having difficulty understanding where the .008moles HCl come from on the mark scheme on #1c(i).
• I am having difficulty understanding why the Mr is so large from my calculations on #1c(iv)

thanks!!

how should it be?

Hi, can someone help me with June 2008 Paper 5 Q2 part f please?

how to do Question 1 ,part d (i)

Guys O/N 2015 P52 q2b part ii, please help. How do I draw the 2 best fit lines and MS even says something about horizontal line???

how to do Question 1 ,part d (i)

Moles of Iodine in the original solution= 0.2*50/1000=1x10-2
Moles of Iodine in the 10cm3 portion=1x10-2*(10/100)=1x10-3

The ratio of iodine:thiosulfate is 1:2
Therefore number of moles of thiosulfate= 1x10-3*2=2x10-3

Volume of 0.1 mol/dm3 thiosulfate= (2x10-3/0.1)*1000 (From the formula, volume=(moles*1000)/concentration)
Answer is 20 cm3

When you plot you will get 2 patterns shown on the graph. One horizontal and the other slant line.
Draw to different lines (one for the slant and one for the horizontal)
Extend both of the lines until they intersect, find the x value of the point of intersection.
I got 0.0248 (answers will obviously differ by a specific range)

I draw the horizontal line where the y value becomes same right? Like last 2-3 points?
But MS says 2 straight lines and then level off, do I need to draw 2 slanting "best fit" lines through the first few points excluding the horizontal points??? Or just simply 2 lines, one slanting and one horizontal??

Yes exactly last 3 points!
No no, just one best fit slant, and one horizontal (Last 3 points).... Like total of 2 best fits as the questions asks. And record the x value of the point of intersection.

Okay thank you so much. How's your prep for tmrw's p5? I'm writing paper 52, wbu? I've done papers only from 2014-2016. Any tips?

Though 2 years aren't much but I did like from 2010, and the lastest ones are more important, so you'd do fine.
Did you do all variants?

Also any idea, how do we keep reactants separate until the reaction starts?
like maybe tie a thread to crucible and put the bung. then use thread to empty it. I think I read something like that

ny1 knws hw to measure effect of temp on solubilty?? i knw hw to do measure effect of conc. on solubilty..

You got my inbox right? I am not allowed to post long passages, I don't even know why!

Draw a glass lid in between both the reactants, that can be dragged up for them to come in contact!
OR
You can keep one reaction in some small cylinder which is attached to a small string. To start the reaction, the string is pulled, and the cylinder falls, causing the reactants to mix.

I also read another method somewhere. That is to use a DIVIDED FLASK to separate the reagents. To start the reaction, just stir the flask, reactants will be mixed, and the reaction will start.

How do we draw this

Plus the 2nd one I wrote was your method!!

Divided flask is like this : usually used to separate SOLID reactant from the LIQUID reactant. Used in those experiments for example: CaCO3 reacting with HCl etc.

haha xD yes!
