Heyy guyss.... i am a little confused here....

so let's say that u have two hypotheticaal equations...

they have the reduction potentials of -0.15 and -1.15
which one of them will be reduced and which will be oxidised??

The more negative one will undergo oxidation, the more positive one will undergo reduction.

So, the -0.15 will get reduced, while the -1.15 will get oxidised.

Don´t you use filter paper soaked with a bit of acidified potassium dichromate and when SO2 reaches it, it goes from orange to green? Not sure, maybe I´m wrong.

That's no longer part of the A Level practical syllabus AFAIK. They've also removed Pb ions.

I think Pb2+ should be In FB8 as the first test will have the same result for Al3+ ans Pb2+ and the yellow ppt is given with sol with Pb2+ in it
FB7 has Zn2+ ions cuz its producing soluble ppt with OH- ions ehich are present in FB5
About the sulfate ions m not sure :/ but Pb2+ gives white ppt with SO4 ^2- so maybe its FB7 :/ hope m not too late

The P2 chemistry paper was such a big piece of cake never seen such an easy paper
The easiest organic chemistry question of the century I must say

Agreed.

Although, the paper had a few places where people could drop marks.
A lot of people seem to have dropped marks in making the ketone.

Another common mistake was in the isomers question. The question asked for 3 different structural formulae of C6H12 that showed cis-trans but a lot of ppl made the cis & the trans isomers of the same structure. Regardless, should be an easy A for most despite the slightly increased GT that I'm expecting for this paper.
