Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

[Emily793]

for p4 chemistry what are the topics assesed?? is it all thhe topics in the syllabus or only those parts in bold or only the topics found in the pdf you sent me??

 

[sweetiepie]

all the topics in the syllabus bt that are sum notes to be learnt easily in pdf file

 

[Emily793]

ok was trying to escape from all these topics... but impossible!! haha

 

[sweetiepie]

hmm yeah

 

[ArthurBonZavi]

Going for Chemistry paper 4 tomorrow. Good luck to all those taking the same.

Are you giving your A-level exams tomorrow (Chemistry paper 4) ?

 

[Emily793]

yes i am! thus the post! haha!

 

[ArthurBonZavi]

yes i am! thus the post! haha!

:Bravo:

Good luck !

Doubt !!

(b) explain qualitatively in terms of intermolecular forces and molecular
size:
(i) the conditions necessary for a gas to approach ideal behaviour
(ii) the limitations of ideality at very high pressures and very low
temperatures

 

[hassam]

(i) intermolecular forces shud be very weak or negligible as in most of noble gases and molecular size shud be as small as possible lioke hydrogen .....y???? cos KMT postualtes THAT molecular size is insignificant compared to volume taken by the gas.........
ii)at high pressure molecules are forced very close together so intermolecular forces start to operate, also molecular volume now become significant compared to vol of whole gas......so this contradicts the postulates of KMT....SO gas is no more ideal or it deviates from the ideal behaviiour

can someone PLEASE help with question 1) part c) in this paper?

Would drawing a tripod with a bunsen burner below and a conical flask above, which has the solid CsNo3 in it, while the flask is connected to a Gas syringe give me the marks?

hey guys i just needed to clear out something since the exam is less than 2 days away.

ok so you know how in paper 2 there was structural formula related questions. where the questions ask you to write down the structural formula. ok thing is, i usually know my concepts but like my arrangement of the atoms in the structural formula turns out to be different that what is in the marking scheme. mind you, im not saying i write the wrong answer its just that, instead of (for eg): propan-1,3-di-oic acid, ill write: CO2HCH2CO2H. but in the marking scheme itll say HO2CCH2CO2H. now is my answer wrong or does it not matter at all? cos im just worried that i might lose marks this way. can someone please clear this out for me.

 

[OakMoon!]

It does matter in most cases. But in some it doesn't. For example in the cases of Alcohol and Aldehydes CHO and COH is a different thing.. In this case too, you should try to write the formula in the latter way. Though, yours is fine too.
