I also read another method somewhere. That is to use a DIVIDED FLASK to separate the reagents. To start the reaction, just stir the flask, reactants will be mixed, and the reaction will start.

How do we draw this

Plus the 2nd one I wrote was your method!!

Divided flask is like this : usually used to separate SOLID reactant from the LIQUID reactant. Used in those experiments for example: CaCO3 reacting with HCl etc.

haha xD yes!

Oh its basically like glass lid, I mean this is how I usually draw it, without knowing that tis actually exist
But yah thanks

Yes But here you don't need to pull up that lid. That BARRIER is FIXED. You just need to stir the flask to start the reaction. Pretty simple than pulling up the lid, or pulling the thread

Oww I see, thats nice!! I will label it as a divided flask right? And the examiner can later google it

yes you should write it/label it as divided flask It's actually a standard laboratory equipment.

Yeah I was just kidding
Best of luck!!!!

Moles of Iodine in the original solution= 0.2*50/1000=1x10-2
Moles of Iodine in the 10cm3 portion=1x10-2*(10/100)=1x10-3

The ratio of iodine:thiosulfate is 1:2
Therefore number of moles of thiosulfate= 1x10-3*2=2x10-3

Volume of 0.1 mol/dm3 thiosulfate= (2x10-3/0.1)*1000 (From the formula, volume=(moles*1000)/concentration)
Answer is 20 cm3

Someone please help if you dont mind. I know its something simple, just having difficulty seeing what Ive done wrong. Based off the marking scheme, Im not sure why the number of moles HCl is .008.

Could someone please help with a calculation from Paper 3 (may/june_2009). Its the calculations portion of question #1. Ive attached my work. The question is a titration of borax vs HCl.

• I am having difficulty understanding where the .008moles HCl come from on the mark scheme on #1c(i).
• I am having difficulty understanding why the Mr is so large from my calculations on #1c(iv)

thanks!!

Can someone please help me with these questions?

Remember what bond energy is,it is the energy released when a covalent bond of a gaseous molecule is broken to give gaseous atoms and not molecules or compounds or molecules. So in A only is this happening in the rest of the options ∆H not only contains the bond breaking energy but also bond formation so the resulting ∆H for B,C and D is lesser than the value of X----Y bond energy !
I hope you get it its pretty simple just try to understand and ask any question no matter how childish it is about this explanation !

i dont understand this...

Hello,
Can somebody please help me with the structure? I'm a bit confused.

AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be subject to electrolysis. Thus, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. In this case we have two possible reductions and two possible oxidations, listed here along with their reduction or oxidation potentials:

Reduction:
2H+ + 2e- ==> H2, E = 0.00 V

Ag+ + e- ==> Ag, E = 0.8 V

Oxidation:
2F- ==> F2 + 2e-, E = -2.87 V

2H2O ==> O2 + 4H+ + 4e-, E = -1.23 V

(ALL THE VALUES ARE FROM THE DATA BOOKLET)
The reactions with the *most positive* potentials are most likely to proceed. Therefore, the reduction of Ag+, which occurs at the cathode, is the most favorable reduction reaction and the oxidation of H2O, which occurs at the anode, is the most favorable oxidation reaction. Consequently, the major products of this hydrolysis are Ag and O2, whereas H2 and F2 are not produced in appreciable amounts.

Same principle with all three

higher potential gains electrons at cathode

lower potential loses electrons at anode

i dont understand this...

Perhaps you can list down the other option(s) you thought were also correct, then we can guide you accordingly.

We can try replacing option A (correct answer) with something familiar

CH4 (g) --> C (g) + 4 H (g) ∆H

Bond energy of C-H is ∆H/4
1/4 CH4 (g) --> 1/4C (g) + H (g)

H4 (g) --> C (g) + 4 H (g) ∆H

Analogously
XYn (g) --> X (g) + n Y (g) ∆H

Bond energy of X-Y is ∆H/n
1/n XYn (g) --> 1/n X (g) + Y (g) ∆H

Check the information under "PART A) METHOD"

FB3 (diluted HCl) is prepared from diluting FB2 (concentrated HCl)

concentration of FB3 = (10 x 2)/250 = 0.08 mol/dm^3
