That convinces me that the percentile doesn't apply to O levels.

ILL give u a proof,ask any experienced teacher and they will always tell you that without percentile CIEs marking wont exist its like their back bone and most of us would get b or c ! Also the distinction in reality is not necessarily attained by a guy who got full marks but he gets the highest marks so he is given the distinction also another thing is find that notice given by CIE when they introduced A* grade for O Levels in one of the FAQs there it is indirectly told abt PERCENTILE !
Now are u good !

thnks but can u give some detail on fat hydrolysis? bcuz i don't think i did it and there is something about heating fat with aqueous NaOH .... but y are we using an acid in hydrolysis?? can u give some info about this and also realte it to fats. tanks in advance :)

the thing is that in 2 the gas produced is half the previous volume in experiment 1 so it has half the concentration of the solution used in 1 !
Play with the molarity equation and u will understand it and btw make volume a constant when u play !

The three ester bonds in the triester(fat molecule) are hydrolyzed to form glycerol and three fatty acids. These R groups are not necessarily the same, therefore the fatty acids are not necessarily the same.NaOH is used as a catalyst.

I can manage Chemistry, anyone here who is appearing for Add Maths! I'm like 2+2=6 in add maths!
Simply worse!
Any tips, or anything would work!
