Could you pls pls explain a bit further as to why it can't be methyl ethanoate, Or propyl ethanoate, hence leaving ethyl ethanoate as the only option? thanks!

no problem.
let's consider two cases in detail:

 

[Browny]

Much Better Question this Time...
You could Use Silver then Do conformatory test with Ammonia.. only Chloride Is Soluble..
Or You could use Barium Compound.. which gives Ppt with Sulphate Ion only !

So then how do we test for the Cl- ion then? For that we must use AgNO3 right? Then when we add ammonia the AgCl ppt. would dissolve but then the AgSO4 ppt. would remain and we would not know whether the ppt actually did dissolve or not?

 

[Browny]

By looking at the test tube !!

What do you mean?

 

[Mohammed salik]

What do you mean?

If you are not sure then test for Sulphate First using Barium Ions and if it Gives white ppt then use stong acid if its insoluble it means Its Sulphate for Sure..!!

 

[Browny]

but barium chloride is also a ppt. it is given as a standard test for Cl-.
And also how can we see solubility when ppt of sulfate is left?

Barium Chloride is Solubleeeee...!!!

among all salts in our syllabus the only insoluble salts of Barium are Barium Carbonate, BaSO4 and BaS03
we will first add HCl to remove carbonate and then add BaCl. if we get ppt then we add dilute acid in excess to make sure it is SO4 not SO3.
BaSO4 is insoluble in acidic solution.

2)a)ii)

How do you know from whose number of moles to divide from when calculating enthalpy change per mole?
Like in question if 2 compounds are reacting at a ratio of 1:2 and neither compounds are in excess.

it is clearly stated that Mg is in excess... so we will use the moles of H2SO4 to find enthalpy chnge per mole

I just told You in Convo!!

(ii) Use the Data Booklet to suggest a value for the energy required to form one mole of
the gaseous radium cation you have given in (i) from one mole of gaseous radium
atoms. Explain your answer.
Mark scheme :
less than (502 + 966)
allow answers in the range 1000–1400 kJ mol–1 (1)
ionisation energies decrease down the Group
or must be less than IE for Ba → Ba2+
or size of atom increases down Group/
electrons are further away from nucleus
or there is increased shielding down Group

u have to write the value for the first ionisation energy of radium... as Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of valence electron from one mole of gaseous atom to form one mole of a unipositive ion...
here one electron is removed so u'll write the value for the first ionisation energy of the radium

But u wont find the 1st ionisation energy for Ra in the data booklet my friend ==" .If it was so easy i wud not have posted this question.I know the IE will be less than that of Ba but why did they add up the 1st and 2nd IE of Ba ? i am confused

 

[kitkat <3 :P]

what is bond polarity :/?

which paper is ths?

 

[roxylara]

For question B (i) the answer is reaction number 4 and the addition product is CH3COCH3. Can someone explain to me how?

I just did this question.And the answer is CH3C(OH)(CN)CH3.Its a nucleophilic addition reaction.

well reaction 4 shoows an addition reaction and in an addition reaction always one product forms so we can say its the addition product
