Re: OCR F321 - 23rd Maylmao uve got ur colours mixed up, first u said yellow for cl now PINK for i2(Original post by kingam)
its brown your right then in cyclohexane it pink -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd MayAS Practical is 20% of AS level.(Original post by pink_floyd)
anyone know how much practical is weighted in this? (AS) Because i got a C...oops :/
U got a C, i messed up big time, i got 16/40 which is a U, which will b like 17/60, which is a bigger U. -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd Mayhi

ok so u kno that 0.00125 moles of HxA are used
and
0.0025 moles of NaOH
x is the number of H you need
simply divide 0.0025/0.00125
=2
so u need 2 moles of H to react with NaOH
i knoni havent explained it well, but wrn u see the word "deduce" or "determine"
they usually want u to use previous answers and either mtiply them or divide them
if ur unsure guess, in this case it would have been easy to guess and divide. -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd Maymarkscheme is IN the question paper(Original post by sarian2)
does anyone have the mark scheme to the specimen paper by any chance??
scroll to the bottom its there

Re: OCR F321 - 23rd Maylets revise them(Original post by arvin_infinity)
Scared of definitions !! pfff
define;
relative isotopic mass
and
mole -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd MayAre you an AS student or an A2 student?(Original post by broken_glass_heart)
AS Practical is 20% of AS level.
U got a C, i messed up big time, i got 16/40 which is a U, which will b like 17/60, which is a bigger U.
Because I was in the same position as you and I had a U last year for my AS practical. My overall grade for AS was a D and now, with a resit of F322 and the practicals, I'm just a couple UMS of an A which is why I'm resitting this module tomorrow.
Its possible, just requires a lot of work. -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd MayMole is the amount of substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in 12g of the carbon-12 isotope.
Relative isotopic mass is the the mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
Define first ionisation energy -

Define first ionisation energy
Mg + Cl2 = Mgcl2
What is oxidised and what is reduced? -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd MayMg has been oxidised as it's oxidation number is increased. Cl2 has been reduced because it's oxidation number has decreased.(Original post by The medjai)

Mg + Cl2 = Mgcl2
What is oxidised and what is reduced?
Describe the ammonia tests for the halides.

Cl is reduced from 0 to -1
Define electronegativity and dative covalent bond. -

First Ionisation Energy: The energy required to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of +1 ions
& I want an A so bad in this module
I was 2 marks of a B in January. But I've been doing past papers all weekend and have been getting a very steady 90-100%, and have worked out that I got 90UMS in 2 of the papers I've done [very bored with life so I decided to do that]. So I'm hoping for full UMS this time around, because I think F322 is going to kill me and I want good UMS in this one to kind of piggyback me a bit haha.
So hardcore revision has been happening, I'm going to school through lunch & both my frees tomorrow to study for it. Argh. I'm still just so angry with myself for January because I felt I did really well in that paper, apparently I've only just got the hang of 'describe' and 'explain' questions haLast edited by DoDoBeDo; 22-05-2011 at 18:26. -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd MayElectronegativity: The measure of attraction the bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.(Original post by TrampingRampage)

Define electronegativity and dative covalent bond.
Dative covalent bond: a shared pair of electrons provided by one of the bonding atoms only.
Explain the difference between the first ionisation energies of Li and Na (3). -
Re: OCR F321 - 23rd MayNa has a larger atomic radius due to there being more inner electron shells and thus there is also more shielding. The nuclear attraction experienced by the outer electrons decreases and thus Na has a smaller first ionisation energy than Li as less energy is required to remove the outer electron.(Original post by The medjai)

Predict the bond angle in NH3 and explain why the molecule has this shape. -
