if you want to save time then in the first titration attempt spend a little more time and measure exactly. Then just put a little higher value for rough titration and for accurate titrations 0.5 cm^3 up or down from exact. E.g If you get 23.5 first time then in rough you could use the value 24.2 and then in 1 st 2nd accurate titration you can write 23.50 and 23.00. Thats what I did today :p and still missed around 5 marks :/

Worst chemistry practical, I've ever given .. I can't even believe how horrible my exam went ..p33 sucked.
I gave p33 also. It was awesome:) I answered each and every question correctly.

Not to worry, p33's weightage is only around 20%. If u can focus on P1 and P2 these few days, you can still get a very high score. Trust me, it happened to me last year.

An organic compound has the following composition by mass:
C - 48.7%
H - 8.1%
O - 43.2%

Calculate the empirical formula.

How do you solve these kinds of questions? In MCQs I used to just do trial and error with the options, but how do you do it in structured? :/

Edit: nvm, figured it out myself. :p

First step:
Divide the percentages by the atomic masses of ELEMENTS

Second step:
Divide all the ratios by the smallest ratio

The esterification reaction
ethanol + ethanoic acid --> ethyl ethanoate + water
is an equilibrium. The forward reaction is exothermic.
How can the value of the equilibrium constant KC be increased?
A by adding a little concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst
B by increasing the initial concentration of ethanol
C by lowering the temperature
D by raising the temperature

Ammonia is manufactured on a large scale by the Haber process.
In a particular plant, conditions of 400 °C and 250 atm in the presence of an iron catalyst are
used.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) ∆Ho = –92kJmol–1
What could contribute most to increasing the equilibrium yield of ammonia?
A adding more catalyst
B increasing the pressure to 400atm
C increasing the temperature to 1000°C
D using air rather than nitrogen
some one pls explain these question to me!


i guess explaining them now is useless :p

Error carried forward? That means you still get the full marks for the next part? Even if the value in the first part is wrong?
