Cuo+2HNO3----->H2O+Cu(NO3)2


I wrote the same but there are people from my school which wrote oh instead of h20

?) HNO3 + CuO -> Cu(NO3)2 + H2O


unbalanced. must be 2HNO3

It changes from red at 3.1 pH that is not slightly acidic that is very acidic. It shouldn't be accepted.

I have no idea which is the correct answer, but I know both red and orange were accepted on a past paper for a very similar question

Ok these are the questions im worried about, can anyone tell me the right answers:
Which stage insoluble impurities are removed in calcium oxide-i put 3

How do u know its in excess-i put solid formed at bottom

Why cracking is important, i put bigger demand for short chains and short chains more useful


Don't think you'll get the marks for smaller chains being more useful - they aren't. They are simply in higher demand.

silicon wasn't an option


It defo was. Silicon is in period 3 and i chose it because an example of neutralisation is CaO reacting with SIO2. so it must be acidic.
Anybody got the igcse chemistry paper 2 dual?

any other questions??


Why is cracking important? I wrote: Because the products obtained can be very useful.For example ethene can be hydrated to make ethanol and some other alkenes are reactive and can be used to make useful polymers.THAT DOESNOT MEAN THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER.

SiO2 is very weakly acidic, I think it may be accepted.
did u guys wrote iron sulfate or sulfide for the blank filling? i wrote iron sulfate.

i saw on a mark scheme (cant remember which) that the reason for cracking to shorter chain was because shorter chain lengths are used for cars, which are in high demand

From the table, the 'S' is the symbol for sulphur, Silicon would be Si
It was my last exam for this year :P i have done bio, chemistry and maths in year 10 and going to do 5 other subjects next year (11).What subjects are left for you guys?
