Really? I don't think so, I think it's plausible for there to be no change in yield.


There were equal mols on each side, it was a trick question.

- Two reasons why putting the lid on the tank with the chromatography experiment in would help - The solvent and dyes wouldnt leave the paper, eg. evaporate?
- Solubility of sulphur dioxide in air and why - Would'nt escape the container
- Three reasons for cracking - To get smaller hydrocarbons for different uses.
- Which reactions for redox reactions - Idk I think it was 6 and forgot otherone
- Why burning C6H12S is bad - it reacts with air to make acid rain, killing off wildlife

What do you think the grade boundary for A* is gonna be?

- i think thats one of the answers.
- thats just one part of the answer
- IDK too
- Wrote the same thing.

ask @iamnayeem he got pretty much everything right.

132/180?

135-ish most probably?

What question did you have a hard time with?

For the lid question i gave
-to prevent overflow of solvet
-prevent loss of solvent by evaloration

For solubility question i showed calculation by dividing the mass by volume got 19.2g/dm³(probably wrong)

For the importance of cracking question the answer is(100% sure on this one,this question appeared before in a past paper)
-produces smaller molecules
-smaller chain molecules are more useful as fuel and has greater demand
-smaller ones burn cleanly as fuel
-cracking produces ethene
-any named use of ethene(e.g. alcohol production)

And for reaction i gave reaction 4 nd 6

And for the sulfide one i gave sulfurdioxide is produced during combustion.the gas is toxic and causes acid rain.

Hmm I got most right I guess. Any hard question you struggled with? I cant think of any rn.
was a very tricky test. It didnt cover many topics and brought alot of unfamiliar topics

Our school did a mock exam at the beginning of the year, and my predicted grade was an A*. However, given the difficulty of this paper, I'm just aiming for an A/B. As long as I get around 70% I'll be happy.

What do you reckon you're going to get?


I am hopping for atleast an A tbh but I was suppose to get an A*
Guys can anyone do an unofficial mark scheme?

What calculation did you do for the hear energy change? Somethingx4.2.....

it came something like 1162 for both of us.

I wrote it does escape, not sure about the reason though.


Even i wrote it escpaed but didn't write the reason -_-

That was weird as hell! I got that question wrong. Apparently the line they provided you with in the exam was just the activation energy curve - you had to extend the line and then draw a line downwards and add the products there.

I forgot to draw the product line ..
Literally so many silly mistakes

Any one got unofficial Mark Scheme for 1CR paper ?

Are you talking about the REDOX reaction question ? " 4 and 6 " was its answer ??

What about the one that said sublime and stuff?


Sublime was S to G

What does the paper 1CR mean I do Edexcel iGCSE too but I had paper 1C today


How was Paper 1C ? btw unofficial mark scheme of Paper 1C is released
