w11/13 http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w11_qp_13.pdf
Plz with little explanations
21, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40

and also
w11/12 http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_w11_qp_12.pdf
Q4(i tried twice plz with sol)
Q6, Q8
Q9(how, when temp in so pressure must be decreases to act like a ideal gas)
Q10(Hat is enthalphy change when one mole of gaseous atom is formed from its element under stp,,, plz briefly describe whats this is going on)

I would be really thankful, May Allah grant us the best success in our papers Ameen..
Plz any one PLZ pLZ PLz

Deduct the aldehyde group and cyclohexane group, which are CHO and C6H11 respectively. What remains are 13 carbons and 16 hydrogens, and these are involved in the aliphatic chain.
Suppose a saturated (no double bonds) aliphatic chain with 13 carbons. The corresponding hydrogen number should be 26 (two terminals are not hydrogen atoms). Each time altering one C-C to C=C will lose 2 hydrogen atoms. So there are (26-16)/2 = 5 C=C double bonds.
CIS means the hydrogen atoms are on the same side. So the answer is A.
If you read the question carefully enough, it states there's a cyclohexene ring and not a cyclohexane ring that the compound contains.
I guess there's no easier way to do this than to draw a quick small structure structure and count the number of hydrogen we're getting. :|

d ques is nt related 2 d formation of nitric acid,
u hv 2 calculate d oxidation no. of nitrogen in all d cases...
whr d greatesr chnge in nitrogen happens ie in A ( changes frm -3 to +2) is d correct ans..
hope i helped..

Look at those side chains (in the original molecule) carefully, the three of them are equal and have 3 alkene bonds each. ( Overall 9 alkene bonds). Look at the side chains we are to substitute it with : 2 side chains containing one alkene bond and 1 side chain with two alkene bonds. ( Overall 4 alkenes left).

Therefore in the process of the reaction, 9-4= 5 alkene bonds are broken. So, we need 5 molecules of H2.
Thankyou! :D

How to approach this question?Detailed method please..

in glyceryl trieleosterate the first chain has 31 hydrogen 2 chain has 30 hydrogen and 3 chain has 31 hydrogen making a total of 31+30+31=92 hydrogen


in soft margarine the first chain has 31 hydrogen and the two similar chains have 33+33=66 hydrogen making a total of 31+66=97 hydrogen so for converting one mole of glyceryl into soft margarine u need 97-92 =5 hydrogen so the answer is B
Thankyou! :D!

See, u only hv 2 luk at nitrogen on both sides...
on LHS, let d oxidation no of N be x, so x + 3(+1) = 0 {since thr r 3 hydrogen, n d overall chrge of the molecule is 0}
so, d oxidation no. of N is -3
On RHS, let d oxidation no of N be x, so x +(-2) = 0 {oidation no of oxygen is -2)
so. N= +2
thus, total change, +2-(-3) = +5

This is an incorrect way of explaining the question (and answer). This implies that hydrogen moles = hydrogen atoms which is NOT the case.

The way to go about this question is to see how many C=C (carbon - carbon double bonds) are hydrogenated. The original compound contained 9 C=C. The resultant margarine there has 4 C=C. This means 5 C=C were hydrogenated.
We also know that whenever a C=C bond is hydrogenated, 2 hydrogens are added to the carbons. For example, C2H4 becomes C2H6.
So 5 C=C bonds need 10 hydrogen atoms, and since one mole of hydrogen gives 2 hydrogen atoms (H2), 5 moles of H2 are needed.

The ans in C.How come the denominator is (0.07*0.02) ? Please explain..:)
View attachment 7373
remember d formula, Kc = Molar conc of product/ molar conc of reactants (both raised to the power of thr stoichiometric coefficient)
Initial conc of H2 n I2 is 0.2 n 0.15 resp. Inititl conc of HI = 0
Final conc of HI = (0.26/2) as thr r 2 moles of HI formed
So. final conc of H2 = 0.20-0.13 =0.07
Final conc of I2 = 0.15 - 0.13 = 0.02

Can someone please give explanations to these paper 1 questions?​

Q3 What does 'ground state' mean? And r we supposed to write the '1s2 2s2....' electronic configuration to know the answer?
Q21 Does an alcohol get oxidised by hot, concentrated manganate(7) ions?
Q31 Why is the answer B not A? all the three statements seem correct.
and Q38 Why cant the answer be B?

hey does sum1 know how 2 solv this??

2 bond pairs 0 lone pairs 180 degree shape is linear
3 bond pairs 0 lone pairs 120 degree shape is trigonal planor
4 bond pairs 0 lone pairs 109.5 degree shape is tetrahedral
3 bond pairs 1 lone pairs 107 shape is trigonal pyramedal
2 bond pairs 2 lone pairs 104 bent shaped
5 bond pairs 0 lone pairs 90,120 degree shape is trigonal bipyramedal
6 bond pairs 0 lone pairs 90 degree shape is octahedral


Follow this and the answer will be C sulphur has two bond pairs two lone pairs so x would be 104 degree carbon has 4 b0nd pairs and 0 lone pairs so y is 109.5 degree nitrogen has 3 bond pairs and one lone pair so z is 107 degree so y>z>x so C is the answer
