Chemistry ATP Tips

[Saad Mughal]

Agree with saad's answer, i wrote 7 but dont know many friends wrote 10,11 & 8.

Well, the majority of us here (that I know) were getting 6.765 moles, which means the WHOLE NUMBER x was 7.

T

1. Answer was 7.
2. Yes.
3. They might consider it.
4. Yes.
5. I don't remember for sure but I think it was a.

THANKYOU!

PHYSICS ATP QUERIES:

1.what was the appropriate instrument/method of measuring the distance in that kinematics(graph) question?
2.were we suppose to include a a rheostat in the circuit of first part of that solar cell question. (it originally said how to get the voltage across it)

1) Measuring Tape
2) No rheostat or resistor was required only a circuit with solar cell switch and voltmeter parallel to cell.

1. Measuring Tape/Trundle wheel.
2. No.

I drew the Voltmeter across the solar cell only, i believe there is no harm in drawing a rheostat for the sake of completing the circuit. The least that could happen is that the examiner would probably IGNORE it. Anyhoo, in that focal length part, i chose the coordinates (10,10) hence got the focal length of 5 cm, although my graph did pass through the points (20,20). I REALLY HOPE MY ANSWER IS NOT WRONG. ANY CLUE?

Hi everyone!
Hope everyone's having a good time studying.
I've put up this thread to present tips from what I've learnt by doing past papers.

Firstly, Offer salah and pray to ALLAH (Swt). The most important thing.
Secondly, Believe in yourself and be confident.
Now for the actual tips.
- Read each question carefully and underline/highlight important words/information.
- When describing colour changes, read the question again, especially in the case of indicators, see that to what is the indicator being added to and what is bringing the colour change.
- When describing observations, especially reactions with water/solutions, use the words; dissolves, vigorously reacts, colour changes/fades, precipitate forms, the beaker heats up. Do not just give a theoretical answer.
- Four tables: Solubility of Salts, Tests for Anions, Tests for Cations and Test for Gases should be at your fingertips.
- Giving answers to reading questions, if there is a measuring cylinder, make sure you read off the flat side of the meniscus.
- Some common reagents that you should know:

• Acidified Potassium Manganate (VII) - Oxidizing agent, colour change Purple to Colourless.
• Acidified Potassium Dichromate (VI) - Oxidizing agent, colour change Orange to Green.
• Aqueous Potassium Iodide - Reducing agent, colour change from colourless to Brown.
• Sulphur Dioxide - Reducing agent, no colour change.
• Concentrated Sulphuric Acid - Drying agent for all gases except Ammonia.
• Anhydrous Calcium Chloride - Drying agent for all gases except Ammonia.
• Calcium Oxide - Drying agent for Ammonia and Neutral gases.
• Ninhydrin - Locating agent for chromatography.

- When describing manufacturing errors, look carefully at the apparatus to find something odd (such as burettes without taps!).
- Be able to describe apparatus, such as:

• Condenser - used for liquifying vapour in distillation and returning unreacted vapour back to the solution.
• Glass beads - used for cooling the gases in fractional distillation by absorbing heat from them.
• Fractionating column - to separate the various liquids using their boiling point.
• Safety bulb - found in pipettes to prevent liquid from entering mouth (when sucking).

-Do not round off values in titration (or mole) questions! If the value 0.00248 is coming, don't write 0.0025, it will bring about a greater error in the later parts.
-The following colours of compounds are good to be known.

1. Group 1, 2 metals are white/silvery white. Group 3 metals are shiny grey. Their compounds are white and their solutions are colourless.
2. Zinc is a grey solid, its compounds are white.
3. Lead is a shiny bluish metal, Iron is a shiny blackish solid.
4. Iron (II) salts are green. Iron (III) salts are red-brown.
5. Chlorine is a green gas. Silver chloride and Lead chloride are white.
6. Bromine is a red-brown gas. Silver bromide and Lead bromide are cream coloured.
7. Iodide is a black solid. Its vapours are purple. Silver iodide and lead iodide are yellow.
8. Copper is a pinkish solid. Copper (II) sulphate, Copper (II) hydroxide and Copper (II) nitrate are blue.
9. Copper (II) chloride and Copper (II) carbonate are green.
10. Nitrogen dioxide is a brown gas. Sulphur and Phosphorous are Yellow solids with different flames.

- Remember important points of electrolysis, ESPECIALLY selective discharge in concentrated/dilute solutions. Remember that displacement and electrolysis are redox reactions.
- Remember important equations such as:

1. Group 1 Elements (Metals) + H2O ---> Metal OH + Hydrogen Gas
2. Acid + Metal ---> Salt + Hydrogen Gas (Copper, Silver,Gold DO NOT REACT)
3. Acid + Bases ---> Salt + Water
4. Acid + Carbonate ---> Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
5. Alkalis (Metal Hydroxide) + Ammonia Salts ---> Ammonia gas + Water + Salt
6. Acidic Oxide + Water ---> Acid
7. Neutral Oxide + Air ---> Acid
8. Basic Oxide + Acid ---> Salt + Water
9. Alkene + Steam ---> Alcohol
10. Glucose + Yeast ---> Ethanol + CO2
11. Acid + Alcohol ---> Ester + Water
12. Alcohol (when oxidized) ---> Organic Acids + Water

- In identifying ions, remember, if transition metal is present, a coloured SOLUTION will be formed not a coloured COMPOUND.
- Also, when giving the test for Nitrate ions, don't forget the heat, it carries one mark.
- Use a sharp pencil and plot a clean, clear graph.
- For describing presence of gases (after reaction), use words, effervescence and bubbling.
- The heating is done in the fume cupboard to ensure that students are not exposed to the poisonous gas, nitrogen dioxide. The toxicity of the gas is the point to mention. (from markscheme).
- Remember, only potassium, sodium, calcium react with water to form hydroxides, all the metals below (till copper) react with STEAM to form metal oxides.
- Also, remember that sodium and potassium compounds are very stable that do not break down on heating (their hydroxides break down to oxides and hydrogen on heating though).
- Finally, best of luck to everyone giving Chemistry tomorrow! The best tip is to solve past papers, there is still ample time left!


I request anyone seeing this thread to add anything they would like to advice others! Hope this helps you people!
Please pray that we all get A*'s.
P.S. I'll add more things when I remember something.

Jazakallahu Khairan. bro. Ur post was very useful.
