    This looks familar, I believed I might have explained it in one of the videos. Maybe you could check the year of paper and see if it was indeed one of those I upload.

    Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

    s10qp12 Q35. X could be NO or SO2. NO + 1/2O2 --> NO2 SO2 + 1/2 O2 --> SO2 Based on examiners report, they don't view CO reacting with O2 as natural reaction with atmosphere, instead it requires burning. Q39. Hmm Q39, it depends if you are able to draw out the structure and use the rules of...

    w11qp12 Q13. C burning in excess O2 forms CO2 S burning in excess O2 forms SO2, some amounts of SO3 might be formed, but would be a minor product compared to SO2. H burning in excess O2 forms H2O s12q12 Q14 CaCO3--> CaO + CO2 (Thermal decomposition, takes in energy, endothermic) CaO + H2O -->...

    s07qp1 Q26. I keep reworking the question as I kept getting C as the answer. I think you typed the answer wrongly. :confused: You need a tertiary alcohol (not oxidised easily) For the alcohol to be chiral, smallest number of carbons for the 3 R groups would be 1,2 and 3 respectively. So...

    Q7. Focus on individual gases first. Helium exerted 12kPa of pressure when occupying 5dm^3 at start, what pressure did it exert when it occupies 15 dm^3 at the end? Pressure (start) x volume (start) = pressure (end) x volume (end) 12 x 5 = pressure (end) x 15 pressure (end) = 4 kPa from helium...

    s08qp1 Q7. Have to read the question carefully, its asking for forces between atoms. This is same question as Q6 of 2013 P12, I can't seem to embed. You can check it online if interested. Q10. Heat of reaction = heat of formation of products - heat of formation of reactions = 2(-110) -(-940)...

    Hi there, please include the answers next time so its easier for us to reply. Q6. The heat of reaction in the equation is to break 6 N-F bonds, so to get the bond energy, we divide it by 6. Q15. This is an often set question. Group II nitrates decompose based on the equation below: 2...

    w12qp12 Q11. This question does seem a bit confusing at the start. We rely on the definition of bond energy as much as possible to make our choices easier. Bond energy is the energy required to break 1 mole of covalent bonds (with the species in gaseous phase) Notice that option A is purely a...

    Image copied from the internet If temperatures are too low, majority of particles will not have sufficient energy to overcome the Ea (even though its already lowered by a catalyst). This is not limited to just the contact process.

    Because 1 mole of Al2C3 has 3 moles of C. So 0.0016 moles of Al2C3 has 0.0016 x 3 moles of C.
