I found the paper was not difficult but tricky, esp the polymer quest, and entalphy.
Some repetition in section b

Did anyone get 0.0560 or something as the concentration of A in the electrochemistry/organic henna question?
also, what was used to reduce that compound? A strong reducing agent like LiALH4 right? because NaBH4 is too weak Im assuming

And for the polymer question, the monomers were a Dicarboxylic acid and a Dihydric Phenol right? (Phenol with 2 OH groups) and the modification would be to use instead of the phenol, a Di phenyl amine, so that Hydrogen bonds can form between amide chains ( Just like in secondary stucture of proteins)
And the conditions was NaOHaq and The Dihydric Phenol ( To produce the phenoxide ion) Heat under reflux with Conc H2So4, to remove the H2O

I feel like it should have been easy but I messed it up. :/ Probably because I had about 3 hours of sleep and my head felt like it was gonna explode. I really hope the GT's low. Insh'Allah everyone does well.
