View attachment 54634 how is the answer c...
plz help :)
The solubility of Group 2 hydroxides increases down the group .. so we can say that Barium hydroxide will be more soluble than calcium hydroxide ... hence when these two solutions are mixed together .. it will be the Calcium hydroxide that will be responsible for the white precipitate due to its less solubility compared to barium hydroxide .. and the filtrate will be containing Barium hydroxide .. And so when CO2 gas is bubbled to this filtrate .. it will react with Barium hydroxide forming Barium carbonate ...

Hope it helps !!!!!!

View attachment 54635 the marking scheme says answer is c but how r there 3 geometric isomers???
There are 2 double bonds so you can have these combinations:
Cis at the first double bond and Cis at the second
So keep on changing and following the same pattern you can have:
C=cis and T= trans
CC
TT
CT / TC
Since the hex-2,4-diene is optically same (shows the same formula when read backwards and forwards), the CT and TC will count as one (it will just be a mirror image of each other)

I saw this question in a reference boo.
Which species is deflected the least in an electric field?
A. 24Mg2+ B. 27Al3+ C. 16O2- D. 31P3-?
Why is the answer A, not D? A-D has the same number of electron, but D has the largest number of proton. Proton is deflected the least in an electric field isn't it?

It has highest m-e ratio..

Could someone please answer 2011 May/June Paper 12 Question 35. The mark scheme says the answer is A but the same question is in 2008 May/June(Question 36) and the answer there is C.
