No.The thing is we have to imagine some things.In Japan and many other developed countries explanations are done using special models and very advanced media.We(especially the South east Asians) have to imagine all the things.We dont exactly visualize what happens.But still its true that South east asians score better than rest of the world :)

Thats cuz you study 24/7 :p (just kidding)

Can anyone help me with this 3 (ii)? And can you tell me how reducing power or oxidising power is affected (increases or decreases) in oxides of these elements. (general trend?)
View attachment 40556
answer is : S or C or N or P
MnO4-, CrO42- ,Cr2O72- , HNO3, HClO4 ,HClO, NaClO, H2SO4, halogens, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid. are oxidising agents
where as halides, earth metals, formic acid, and sulfite compounds are reducing agents
hydrogen gas acts as an oxidizing agent when it combines with metals and as a reducing agent when it reacts with nonmetals

in ths question the answer can't be P... CO, NO, NO2 n SO2 or SO3 are all reducing agents

Obviously any order. If someone doesn't know q1 they won't leave the entire paper now :p
Logic :oops:
What i was doing in P1 , was making some spaces inbetween question i dont know , and then reducing the size to fit the leaved space
No the task becam easier:D

Can anybody PLEASE explain how 1: 1.33: 1.61 = 6: 8: 7 ? :confused:

I´ve already answered this question a few times... Anyways. Here what you should be careful with is the accuracy. Maintain it with 3sf. So once you divide by the smallest number and get 1 : 1.33: 1.16 ratio you just have to convert these numbers into integers. You do it through trial and error until you get all integers. If you times everything by 6 you get an integer (or atleast really close to it).

Hope it helps.

Thanks! but mark scheme says P as well and thanks for the general examples really helpful.
But incase of only *element oxides* in the given periodic table in question is there some kind of general trend on the reducing strength of the *element oxides*?

Can someone plz help me with this May June 2010 paper 41 question 5ai, why are we not taking left electrode potential as +0.83v?Again in part B why not take Eo at cathode to be +0.13v.
Thanks in advance!
