Nope you were right sodium sulphate is the drying agent

I read my notes
Had sodium sulphate near to sodium chloride and my mind decided to think sodium chloride was the drying agent

I think it was the D because the higher priority groups were on the same side and the groups on either side with different so it had to be Z-...
I think, correct me if I'm wrong


Yea, it was the Z isomer I think. I think people kinda overthought this question generally. You had to see the highest priority and then from then on, knowing there were 4 different groups, it had to be the Z not the cis-trans variety which is only for the identical groups - should really take about 5 seconds from process of elimination...

I can't remember to be honest, sorry, I remeber it being C maybe? Idk tbh, whichever was the Z

Dam I put pie bond instead of sigma, ah well was a 50/50 guess and only one mark, seem to have got most the multiple choice wrong tho, what did everyone get for the Hess cycle?
What did anyone get for the percentage yield??? That one was annoying. It was the density that put me off 😭😭

39.1 i think or something near that

I got like something in the 30ish region, you had to multiply the volume by density to work out the mass of the two compounds, then find the theoretical mass of the product using n= m/mr, then just percentage yield.

yeah i did this and got 39.1 or something like that yeah, waht did u get for hess cycle?

I got a positive value of 70 something, I don't know if that's right though

i got -77.2 which i know a few of my mates got but im not sure tbh, it was a tricky one

I got a positive value in the 70s too :wink:

u got -77.2?? good! yes i think this is correct :smile:

Omg. I got 39.1 too. That was soo random though haha!! I hope it's right! ❀️

I belive it is :smile: x well done
See for the Hess Law, if u did the arrows like it's a combustion cycle, then you get the minus value, but if u did it as formation, you get the positive value. If u search enthalpy of solution (because that's what it was), the cycle is similar to a formation one, so wouldn't the answer be the positive value???
