    ill take that as a no to playing my game.
    And id advice getrevising.com then just searching what topic you want notes on
    I'll play the revision game with you lol
    Start off nice and easy lol;

    State Le Chatelier's principle and define the term catalyst.

    Elimination reaction, concentrated H2SO4, heat?

    What changes bromine water colourless?
    Instead of saying heat say excess steam or water heated*

    and presence of a double bond (electron rich area)


    Question for you: How will increasing pressure effect rate of a reaction?

    Principle:
    A disturbance in a equlibrium system will cause the equlibirum point to move in the direction which counters this disturbance

    Catalyst:
    Chemical component speeds up a chemical reaction by finding an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy without being use up in the reactant


    My question:

    Ionic equation for barium chloride with sulphate ions.

    Well answered
    And; Ba2+ + SO42- = BaSO4. Sorry I can't write it on here properly.

    Well done sugar,

    wheres my question?
    you answer then give a quesition, then i answer give a quection ect

    , thanks.

    It increases the rate of a reaction because it increases the amount of particles per unit volume? And only for reactions that involve gases only.

    Eletronegativity descrease down group,
    due to atomic size/mr increasing as you go down as a additional inner main energy/eltron shell is being added, increasing sheilding effect therefore outer eletrons are further away and less attracted to possitive nucleus.

    yes?


    My question: Give the reagent and condition for elimination and nucelophilic substitution reactions in alcohols

    Perfect Positive charge of nucleus though but I understand what you mean

    Nucleophilic substitution reaction in alcohol; Warm aqueous sodium
    Elimination reaction in alcohol; concentrated sulfuric acid, reflux?

    Lol I forget to write my question again

    Ermmm; Tollen's reagent is a type of oxidising agent which can be used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones.
    Describe what you would observe if Tollen's reagent is heated with a separate sample of aldehyde and ketone.

    No. A topic to revise for ya then?

    N. Sub = Hydroxide ions present as Potasium Hydroxide in aqueous solution, primary alcohol in room temperature
    Elimin = Ethanoic Solution, no water present, heated/ high temperature with use of tertiary alcohol

    Aldehyde: Silver Mirror (black metalic precipitate within testube)
    Ketone: No observable change

    Q: Name two advantages of producing ethanol from crude oil?

    Good and the quality of the product is very pure and the rate of reaction is extremely quick.
    Q: Explain, why iodoalkanes are hydrolysed more quicker than fluoroalkanes.

    I don't think remembering German makes it particularly easier LOL
    (Z) zey are on zee zame zide
    (E) they are enemies I.e both are not on
    The same plane as the carbon carbon double bond

    And my they I mean the priority groups-
    The atoms/molecules with higher Ar/Mr on each side
    Of the double bond.

    Hope that helps

    Oh sorry you already got a reply
    Silly me :P

    Was too annoyed about my biology exam yesterday to revise last night :mad: so going to have to do a lot of work today to make up for it! :/

    What is an electrophile?
    Are all reactions from an alkene -> another product, electrophilic addition? and any reaction to an alkene is elimination? If this is true, my chemistry life will be so much better...
