I'm not sure why I am unable to attach diagrams at this moment..
Q11
Answer: C
A reaction with autocatalysts will start off relatively slow.The rate of reaction will increase due to the production of catalysts. After a peak, the rate of reaction will decrease when the concentration of reactants are used up.

Q23
Answer: A
Sulfuric acid will hydrolyse the ester bond and create a COOH group.
The C=C double bonds in the molecules will be hydrogenated.
The COOH bond will NOT be reduced to an alcohol by the hydrogen, that would actually require LiAlH4.

Q30
Answer: B
Esterification of the both OH groups with two COOH groups (1 from each molecule of ethanoic acid)

Bond dissociation energy is a measurement of the strength of the covalent bond holding the atoms together within the molecules, and not the measurement of the strength of the bond among molecules.
can u clarify it more I'm still confused :/

Ans is B. And no it is not the same thing. Cis trans isomerism is due to "restricted rotation" of Pi bond over Sigma bond, that is the reason they are cis trans "isomers". The only difference in B and D is that B is trans and D is cis. We need to identify the "trans" so that is B. (Both B and D are optically active due to presence of chiral carbon. But only B is trans)

Help in both please! Also if you guys need March 2017 p1, i have it.
Could you plz send it to me??? Your help will be greatly appreciated!

36. is A ONLY NaBr and NaI are oxidised when reacted with dil H2SO4, NaCL is too strong to be oxidised
37 is B I suppose? Find 'n' from PV=NRT to find the gas with the least moles!

hope that helps :)
