AQA C1 Predictions

Since the AQA Chemistry Unit 1 Exam is tomorrow, what are your predictions of questions/topics that may appear? I'm praying that it's better than the Biology exam! 🙏🏼

Probably more questions about business or underage drinking

It was about life on Earth last year, Perhaps the six mark question will be on crude oil, limestone, extracting metals or how to carry out an experiment. :smile:

I think it will be on Limestone or
different metals in building materials or
cement + mortar
Maybe limestone as its the last year before it gets taken out of the spec
Maybe fraction distillation, electrolysis and the carbon cycle

I hope so 🙌🏼 I'm hoping the 6 marker is on fractional distilation 🙏🏼

I'm currently doing a past paper and its the june 2013 one. This has got fractional distillations the 6 marker so i think they might go for something new like limestone and metals. But i don't know.
I don't think there's any point guessing after yesterday's show....
Hope it isn't limestone. I'd like atoms etc, and crude oil, and atmosphere

Haha lol true that :wink:

Maybe, maybe questions on extracting copper and probably some stupid graphs!

I think they might ask on Miller-Urey experiment
Miller Urey, tectonics, uses of limestone, and cracking is what I predict.
But it's worth having at least a quick look over everything, unfortunately it is in the morning so we don't get most of the day to revise, like biology (although revision wasn't too useful for biology).

So True...
Idk about the 6 marker but my senses are tingling that maybe emulsions or hardening might come up. And also it's best to look over the useless info in the textbook and the how science works shiz bc AQA is kinda messed up

I think they might have something about the tectonic plates and wegeners theory, but only small marks. The 3 marks is likely to be emulsions. Revise polymerisation too, likely to appear. About 6 marks, it's pretty straightforward. It's gonna be either Fractional Distillation(Unlikely), Miller Urey(Likely), and the advantages and disadvantages of Limestone OR Extracting Metal, eg Electrolysis. Learn how to compare, because they will ask you to compare things like Alfred Wegeners theory to another random theory, or anything along those lines. The Compares will be 4 marks at least. Comparing is easy, say the best and worst, and why. Pretty much it. :smile: Good Luck PRACTISE EXAM QUESTIONS!!!!! btw I'm not a teacher I'm a student

EDIT: Revise hardening too I'm not so sure about that one

Carbon cycle is biology.
It might be atoms and elements after that B1 6 marker
