[^__^].. yeah i know, our chem sir did correct some mistakes in it... wel i have learned the concepts, so now i think it would be wise to do the pastpapers?.. cuz i did my core with the pastpapers em just left with the applications :/
Chem Guide...use this website. the application booklet has messed up concepts...

Nov 11 Paper 43 Q3(e) iv.... why is the concentration of CH3COOH 0.075 and not 0.025 and how do we get 0.05 for CH3COONa... The marks scheme is not clear and I cant find the examiner report. Please help

Effect of conc of the ions

Effect of concentration is only for Chloride ions, Bromide ions, iodide ions and Hydroxide ions. In a concentrated solution of these ions, no matter what the reactivity of the other anion is, the anion (the ones i mentioned) will be preferentially discharged.

I hope this clarifies your confusion.

Does structural formula mean we have to draw the skeletal formula....for eg can't we write CNCH2CH2CH2CN instead of drawing it in a skeletal form...please please reply
In ms they usually give the skeletal..but isnt the formula i wrote about also structural?
what you wrote is the structural formula and the skeletal formula is completely different :p

Can anyone list most poplar electron withdrawing and donating groups?

Regards
electron donating groups ; all alkyl groups, -OH, -NH3 ,-OCH3, -N(CH3)2...........
withdrawing groups : -NO2 , -SO3H , -COOH , -CN , -CHO , -CO- , -CO2- , -CONH2- , -CONH-

em not very good at expalining things..
first go through the notes that i have attached and then try to understand this :
first find the number of carbon atoms by [(100/1.1)x(M+1/M)]
3H gives a singlet,which means that they are directly attached to the more electronegative element or the functional group.. these 3H give u a singlet at chemical shift value of 3.6.. the group is -OCH3...
1H also gives you a singlet at 5.6 that is the chemical shift value of phenol
than the 4H also gives you a singlet so these are the hydrogens of the benzene ring so ur formula becomes
1,4 methoxyphenol.. (the -OH group is on the 1 position of benzene and as it is an electron donating group the -OCH3 is on the 4th position)
i knw my explanation is pathetic ...still... (y)

Thank you so much for the help.

Also,
Can you please tell the effect of electron withdrawing and donating groups attached to benzene ring?

I mean, for example if Cl is going to add in benzene in presence of AlCl3
I get confuse on which position to add the Cl (ortho, meta or para), if electron donating is attached and on which to add if electron withdrawing is attached.

I need a little briefing on it.

Your help is appreciated.
Best Regards
