A compound contains only aluminium and carbon. 0.03 moles of this compound reacted
with excess water to form 0.12 moles of Al(OH)3 and 0.09 moles of CH4.
Write a balanced equation for this reaction.
HELP PLEASE

aluminium and carbon means the formula will be (AlC or Al +C) ?

AlxCy +H2O-->Al(OH)3+CH4
=0.03 : ___ :0.12 : 0.09
= 1 : ___ : 4 : 3
= AlxCy +H2O--> 4Al(OH)3+ 3CH4 (use the ratio to balance the right side)
= Al4C3+12H2O-->4Al(OH)3+ 3CH4 (now balance the complete equation) :)

Hmmmm ... so its not good -.-
The grade boundries are getting lower every year so I'm guessing it would be an A this year :)
If you're aiming for an A* in the end you have to get a max of 3 faults in paper 1, 10 in paper 3 and 5 in paper 6 ( my teacher told me this)

These marks would add up to 90%, your teacher probably meant without a curve.
Last year I lost around 18-20marks in p3 chemistry and still managed an A*
