Q15 - see the ones which will decompose
B - MgCO3 -----> MgO + CO2 ---- u are getting one mole ov a gas which means its 24dm3
C- 2Mg(NO3)2 ------> 2MgO + 4NO2 + O2 ---- here its 5 moles of gas

Q20 -try out the structures....thats the only option
if u dont get it tell me

Q3-- its easy
write the equation first
C6H12 + 9O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H2O
find the mass of CO2 nd H2O
6CO2 = 108
6H20 = 264
108/264 = .41
Tysm. .
ur boss is having some doubts in phy mcqs and p2 so I need some help in them :(:cry:

If they ask you to draw the Structure of the organic compound , you draw structural formula or Displayed formula ? This question came in june 2015 p22 and i drew structural , will i lose all of the marks of that question because of it ?

In p21 they asked us for skeletal formula . If they ask you to draw the structure of the compound and they didn't mention either displayed or skeletal then don't worry boss you are 100% correct . Structural formula is therefore what they want

Thankyou :) ! Im sorry to ask you this , but how do you know this ? Did some teacher told you or something ?
Hey boss check oct nov 2005 paper 2 question number 5 F) and check the marking scheme the question also asked to draw the structure of the compound and in marking scheme a structural formula is given so don't worry boss

The thermal decomposition of Group 2 decreases down the group is due to the cation increases in size, and small cation with higher charge tend to undergo thermal decomposition with large anion. What would happened if both cation and anion are small in size too?

The variables are size of cation and size of anion, during comparison, keep one variable to be the same.

same size cation, increasing size of anion --> decomposition temperature decreases

increasing size of cation, same size anion --> decomposition temperature decreases

Why is the answer C? Thanks!
first option is wrong because ethanol is having a minus charge which means it has donated its H+ to sulphuric acid and sulphuric acid is accepting the H+ this cannot be because concentrated sulphuric acid is a far stronger acid than ethanol therefore sulphuric acid is the acid which is going to lose its H+ to ethanol. ethanol is going to behave slightly like a base in this reaction. the stronger acid in the reaction is the acid which is going to lose the H+.

on being heated the hydrogen iodide breaks down more quickly than hydrogen chloride.Which statement explains this faster rate?
1 HI bond is weaker than HCl bond
2 the reaction of breakdown of HI has a smaller activation energy than HCl
3 breakdown of HI is more exothermic than HCl
Why is 2 acceptable & why not 3 too?
