Paper 11 was really easy for me, i might even get 100% in it (if not then in 90%'s for sure). But Paper 31 was normal. Not that hard, nor that easy. How many marks do you think you can loose in paper 3 and still get an A*. I made the dumbest mistake ever in paper 3, in the last question, I considered BrI to be lighter and didn't actually check and compare the Mr's of both the compounds given, so i chose the wrong option. It was 3 marks because we also had to explain, no i don't know if i would at least get the the marks for explanation, what do you guys think?

What if you write IF5 ? Is it still okay?

Yea it's correct. How did u balance that equation in organic chemistry question, which said ethylammonium(something like that i don't remember) reacting with H2SO4. I wrote the name of the salt formed as ethylammonium sulphate. As for the equation, i wrote 2 on the left. I didn't really bother to check if it was balancing :p.

Unfortunatley it is calcium oxide , since it is thermal decompostition of CaCO3 TO CaO ,,, Sorry for saying that , but hey it is only one mark you can lose upto 8 marks and still have a chance to get an A*
Good Luck!

I can't afford to lose any marks. I know for sure that I lost 8 marks in paper 6. It was the last question, I didn't even see it.

Yup, that's what I got. What did you get for that formula one? I got something like C10H21OH
Also for the iodine and fluorine one I got F5I

C10H21OH is wrong i'm afraid !! coz they asked for molecular formula which means you should have written C10H22O

oh no no man . this was an alcohol
The normal molecular representation is like this CnH2n+1OH
So it is correct ...... no worries

Man do you know what ''molecular formula" means ?? It means that the formula which shows the number of different atoms in one compound !! It should be C10H22O
C10H21OH is the "actual formula" not the "molecular formula" .

Refer to october november 2012 paper 3 variant 2 chemistry paper
Question 7 (a) (ii)
In short, it is a similar question to this one where mark scheme says that molecular formula could be represented like C10H21OH .......
