Can you pls tell how to answer questions in socio?
And what topics are imp for which paper?

There are no important topics. There are 2 questions from every topic in Sociology, and loads of choice.
Prepare the topics you are comfortable with, and skip those you don't like.
But in Paper 2 you have to answer 3 questions out of 8; so that means if you prepare 2 out of 4 topics, that will be enough.

Just write with a pen. o.o
There is no specific pattern.
Whatever is asked, just answer it - mention and explain all the relevant points.

I never practiced any past papers for Sociology, but go through all the marking schemes and see which questions have come so far. The questions mostly repeat.
So practice past papers, and read ALL the marking schemes and you will get an A*.

32 Which row is correct for the reaction of the alkene with steam and a catalyst?

alkene - product

A CH3CH=CH2 - CH3CH(OH)CH3 only

B CH3CH2CH=CH2 - CH3CH2CH2CH2OH only

C CH3CH=CHCH3 - CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3 only

D (CH3)2C=CH2 - (CH3)2CHCH2OH only



answer is C...can you please explain? :)

Well, in A, B, D reactions.. the product formed will be different isomers. When the double bond converts into single bond, the OH and H can attach in two different ways. In A, they have shown one way of attaching H and OH. But there will also be another way, if you swap the OH and H. That gives another isomer. So Reaction A will have two products, both isomers of each other.

C is the only reaction that doesn't give isomers, and only gives one product, because the Alkene in C is symmetrical, and no matter to which Carbon you attach the OH, it will be the same thing.

This is a tricky question to understand, and i am sure hardly anyone would have gotten this question correct.

We're all soliders, fighting everyday
to survive in this 'hostile' world!
And now, this solider is ambushed..
Not by guns n canons, but by
mathematics, laws of physics,
essays n letters, highly reactive
elements from the periodic table,
etc etc!


Dude are you giving english in this session as well?o_O because you should learn the spelling soldier :LOL:;)
