Hey.. I have some problems in this paper.. In q2(iii) please explain how the rate of the reaction is calculated from the graph. I get the order of reaction with respect to both reactants. have made the rate equation aswell. cant calculate the rate of the reaction and then the rate constant.
In Q3(iv) please explain to me how the PH is calculated.. If this is related to a concept that is explained somewhere on the internet. :)
Lastly in the q5(iv) i dont understand how the ratio of both the compounds is being calculated.
Im giving the links to the question paper and marking scheme.
Help would be really appreciated. :)
Thanks in advance.

There's no hydrogen bond between CH3F molecules because there is no H-F bond, F is bonded to C here, not H. Also, in aldehydes, there's no H-O bond, the O is bonded to C. I suggest you revise hydrogen bonding from the textbook.

Hydrogen bonding occurs between H that is bonded to F, O or N in one molecule, and F, O or N bonded to H in another molecule..
Examples:
NH3 can form hydrogen bonds with water.
N-H ---- O-H

HF can form hydrogen bonds with water as well.
H-F ---- O-H
imperial
See they said to draw the displayed formula from the isomers of one compound.

Therefore. You draw both optical versions.

Thank you, I got it.

NaOH in ethanol is used for elimination, NaOH in water is used for substitution, also NaOH + heat is used for hydrolysis (esters).

^ Is this right? did I miss anything? that's what I have learned about NaOH from solving few past papers and it's role in organic chemistry.

Also I have encountered many questions with acids, mainly HCL and H2SO4 in organic chemistry, what is their role? (please include details like heat/hot/cold/conc./dilute and whatever)

Well, yup that is true. (But depend on your reaction ofcourse)

H2SO4
NaBr + conc. H2SO4 [From ROH to RBr]
dilute H2SO4 heat under reflux [From RCN to RCOOH]
conc. H2SO4, heat. [From ROH to alkene]
conc. H2SO4, heat under reflux. [From ROH + RCOOH to RCOO (ester)]

HCL
I dont know sorry.
Plus I am not 100% sure..but this is what I learned.

and another question:

http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/...d AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w06_qp_2.pdf

4 c(ii)

I got confused by the term dipoles, both alkene and bromine are non-polar, I first thought it's for confusion but the mark scheme says "dipole on Br2"

Explanation, anyone?

See, that sketch shows how.

But reason is, the double bond had high electron density, and therefore, it repel the electron from the top bromine toward the down one, inducing a pole. (it is temporary not permenant)

Aameen Sister.
I saw your work, it's a bit vague...
always mention what volume, what temp, how many concentrations, what apparatus you're using:
So, here, mention that the total volume must be 50 cm3
we have to prepare a minimum of 5 diff conc from 2.00 moldm3 (e.g the ones i mentioned in my last reply)
what mass of Mg ribbon? E.g 5grams, weighed by using a digital scale with the accuracy of 0.01 g
volume of HCl measure using a burette
(mention the method alone will get you a mark, for eg: here, you mention that you are preparing your concentrations by serial dilution and then you state your method)
And always remember that when you're planning an experiment, you are explaining somebody who does not know anything. Examiner ko kuch bhi nahi pata to aap nai usai sara method sehi tareekay say explain kar na ha hai.
U get what i mean?
and you're most welcome.
:)
May Allah Succeed Us All in this world and in the Hereafter
Allak ka maseeha ho yar aap i seriously didnt know anything , thankyou you mademit crystal clear for me Alhumdulillah . ALLAH hum sab ko maamyab karen , Ameen . Well i am so worried for papaer 4 i dont have time to revise AS syllabus at all, and they give a lot of it :O

Help is needed with the structure if J in the question above please
Also I get solid 80/100 's without revision, I'm pretty much set but I hope no question comes that I'm not able to Attempt please pray for me!

And is there any way someone could tell me important things to review fromAs? Or do I have to review it all (For A2 exam) ??
