why is 2 wrong?
More H+ concentration = more acidic ... so why is it wrong?

 

[nehaoscar]

Why does decomposition temperature increase?

How to do??

How to do??

Try to balance the number of electrons in both the equation then when u cancel out, you will see 1:2 ratio..

Oh so you just always balance the electrons?
Thankyou!

How to do??

no of moles of oxygen = 0.0125 mol
no of moles of calcium = 0.0287 mol
no of moles of magnesium = 0.0473 mol
no of moles of potassium = 0.0294 mol
no of moles of sodium = 0.0500 mol
Answer is sodium so considering its equation, you can check other.
4Na + O2 ---> 2Na2O
To check the no of moles,
1mol of O2 = 4mol of Na
So, no of mole of sodium = 0.0125 * 4 = 0.05mol
OR
no of moles of Oxygen = 0.005/4 = 0.0125mol

To balance the half equations, you should balance the electron first then add the reactions.

The Ans is A......

This question please

 

[shazmina]

Why is the Ans B for this Question ...
http://postimg.org/image/nffgoopef/full/
I know that a boltzman distribution curve for a higher temperature has its peak shifted to the right, and in a lower height...
but here in option B the curve isnt shifted to the right eh?

 

[Metanoia]

This question please

Form a balanced equation for the reaction.

2NaCl + 2H2O --> H2 + Cl2 + 2NaOH

Then solve it as a mole calculations question.

The answer seems to be D to me. Could you check the mark scheme again?

It havent shifted to right, yes... :/

Answer is B. I checked it.

 

[Hiba shahid]

Yes
For example:
View attachment 54554

I meant what if above the blue line I write CH3 will that be right ??

 

[Hiba shahid]

Can a tertiary alcohol skeletal formula be written like this

 

[nehaoscar]

No because in the skeletal formula you should not show any C's or C's attached to H's.
If it was OH or CN or something like that, then you'd show but not CH3

Thanks but i have a doubt .. is it like the 58.5 kg of NaCl only or does it include water as well?


I checked it many times and even now ... its B ...
Even i think the ans should be D but its B ... i even checked in the Examiners report ...

And i have seen you answering for the same question last year .. in this thread ... let me quote it for you

W04qp1

Q5. You have to imagine yourself filling up the boxes with 8 electrons. If you follow the rules, you will end up with a final configuration that has the lowest energy level.

Q9. The short answer is, compared other organic compounds with the same number of carbons, burning a hydrocarbon usually gives use the most energy.
The C-O bonds for the rest require a bit more energy to break, compared to one that has only C-H single bonds.

Q11. No change in oxidation states for any atom, cant be redox reaction.

Q12. A boltzman distribution curve for a higher temperature with have its peak shifted to the right, and in a lower height.

Q18. For all the other options, there are dative bonds formed from nitrogen's lone pair.
A. N: -->C
B. N: -->H+
D. N: --> Ag+

Q38.

Y reflects the idea that ppt is formed faster than CH3CH2Cl which gives off 1 Cl- to precipitate with Ag+
1. Formed faster as it gives of 2 Cl-
2. Formed faster as C-Br bond is weaker, so Br- is released faster
3. Formed faster as C-I bond is weaker, so I- is released faster

This is the One .... Question 12 .. can u please check this out ...

 

[shazmina]

Answer is B. I checked it.

yea so what do you think?

The 58.5 kg is for NaCl (limiting reactant). The other reactant H2O is treated as an excess reactant.

I'll look at the W04 question and post here later.

At this moment, I am tempted to dismiss it as a typo in the marking scheme, because if the answer is indeed B instead of D, it would be wrongly answered by many students. This will mean that it would have to be discussed in the examiners' report (which it wasn't).

Furthermore, it was poor practice to present the options without putting the room temperature curve on the same axis for comparison. I believed they will be more careful about making it less ambiguous in recent years.
