Chemistry Paper 4-theory- doubts =D

[knowitall10]

Assalamu Alaykum AS and A2!
i just figured out that our Chemistry textbook had some errors
So, i would like you to follow this link and make sure you read the whole page because it is very important. I'm very sorry for the AS fellows because they had their paper 2 long ago.. but maybe u can do p4 and p5 better next year Good Luck!
As for A2, the thought of only getting to know this a week b4 our p4 is very scary. With all due honesty, I have absolutely no words to calm you down as i myself am suffering from a "close-to-a-heart-attack" stage....

Hi guys again,

So here's my question. It's related to mass spectra.

Question 2, part (c) of this paper: http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_s07_qp_4.pdf

Mark scheme: http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_s07_qp_4.pdf

The examiner report states: Many candidates seem not to have been taught this new section of the Core syllabus, namely the
interpretation of mass spectra in terms of molecular fragments.

How do I do this?

There isn't much to this question other than trying to figure out how you could use atoms/elements in the original compound (ammonium nitrate) to make fragments that would add up to each of the peaks in the question. My initial hunch was that A and B would be NH3 and NO2, but those don't balance (I mean even if only one mole of these gases is made, the Mr of NH4NO3 - 62 - is not equal to the combined Mr of both product gases - 17 + 46 = 63, so this must be dismissed.) Instead, chose two gases that would separately make up the maximum m/e values, 18 and 44 using onlu the elements provided. These would be H2O (18) and N2O (44). They even balance! 18 + 44 = 62. Then you can break these up to make each of the smaller values: O+ = 16, OH+ = 17. And N+ = 14, O+ = 16, N2+ = 28, NO+ = 30. (They'll all have positive signs 'cause the spectrometer only deals with positive ions.)

Hellooo,
I wanted to ask how do u guys study for the applications, like what is the most important topics?

 

[knowitall10]

ASSLAMU ALAYKUM WA RA7MATULLAH!!!

NOTE: THE CHEMISTRY APPLICATIONS BOOKLET SUCKS BIG TIME AND HAS BEEN PROVEN SO BY THE CHEM GUIDE SITE. PLEASE REFER TO THAT SITE FOR THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS AFTER ORGANIC BECAUSE IT IS PRECISELY TO THE POINT AND ACCORDING THE CURRENT SYLLABUS. THE MORE MISTAKES THE GUY POINTS OUT, THE CLOSER I GET TO HAVING A STROKE. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Thank you.
May Allah Help us lead the path of Righteousness

Sister, if ur a biology student, then forget the chem of life chapter except the weirdo bonding at the start. Focus mainly on Applications of Analytical Chem and Design and Materials.

 

[knowitall10]

and safaXXX for God's Sake do not even touch the chemistry applications booklet. the number of errors i just read about are literally humongous and I strongly suggest u stick to the Chem Guide site. It's the perfect site, i wish i had known about it earlier. Well, no regrets only lessons, so yeah, i hope i helped u

Guys can i get some solid notes for Organic chemistry for A2? Paper 4 is really tough for me, And i know majority of it is Organic, So I want to prepare myself for Organic to score majority of the marks... So something i can go through that will allow me to answer all organic questions?

You can give these a try

The first link is for AS, so no use, and the second link was a little useful, but no solid organic chem in that
Need some solid stuff that will help me answer teh paper 4 organic questions

I recommend chem guide.. have u tried it?

Asalamualikum i have a dbt in paper O/N 10 variant 41 Q4 part c (ii) http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/... AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w10_qp_41.pdf from where did 4 come in ksp shouldnt it be just x^3 ?

I looked through it but it doesnt clearly differentiate between teh AS and the A2 components

hey and no u r mistaken the equation is

pbcl2 --> pb^2+ + 2cl^- the ksp = [pb^2+][Cl-]^2 now u see when pbcl2 dissolves u will have x concentration of pb^2+ AND 2x of cl^-1 not x too because the ratio is 1:2 so
ksp = x(2x)^2
ksp = 4x^3 i hope u got it!

JazakAllah bro got it btw i guess u made a mistake in the ksp equation it is actually ksp=[Pb^2+][Cl-]^2

Here's my note for Organic. The handwriting is way off so apologies for that.
I can't seem to upload the file here.
You can download the pdf from here-

Dude the PDF is corrupted, wont open in browser or in Adobe

thats my Ksp where is the mistake?

ohhh sorry i thought u didnt did Cl- to the power of 2 Sorry once again
