    does anybody have the mark scheme for http://www.a-levelchemistry.co.uk/OC...resources.html

    the transition elements hw part 1 and 2? and the link for the test paper and the markscheme? thanks.

    I found the concentration of h202 in 250cm3 but what do you do after that?

    Sorry, when I quoted you earlier I thought this was a maths thread and you were talking about a maths question. Only just scrolled up

    Don't find the conc in 250cm^3, go a step back and use the mass of H2O2 you found in 250cm^3 and then divide this by 25cm^3 to get the concentration of the undiluted solution.

    The same mass of peroxide in 250cm^3 is in the original 25cm^3 since the student only added water.

    I got an answer of 15.9gdm^-3.

    I've found this question dunno which year it is tho so dont have the mark scheme..wondered if anyone has!? if not please mention what you put for 7 marks


    The complex [CoCl2(H2NCH2CH2NH2)2] shows 2 types of isiomerism. Use this to explain what you understand by the term stereoisomerism. Include diagrams to show both types of isomers...
    It was worth 7 marks

    This would be my idea:
    -Define stereoisomerism
    -State the two types
    -Draw diagrams of each (2-4 marks)

    Oh I've seen/done this question. I don't know which paper it is either as I got it as part of a revision pack from my teacher. I have the mark scheme though:
    One mark for the definiton of stereoisomer
    Two marks for drawing cis and trans isomers
    Two marks for drawing both optical isomers (must be mirror images)
    [all diagrams to show 3D arrangement]
    One mark for saying 'Enantiomers/non superimposable mirror images'
    And one mark for saying 'rotate plane polarised light in opposite direction by same number of degrees'
    I still don't really understand the last point, can anyone shed some light on this?

    Yh the MS is up there! scroll up!
    So As for last point! basically imagine you draw two enantiomers
    then you shone light through a solution containing each of those enantiomers

    for one of those solution: the enantiomer rotate the plane polarised light in clockwise direction

    other enantiomer rotate it in anti-clockwise direaction

    if you had both same amount (same volume?) then there will be no effect on the plane polarised light!

    MS reads:"same number of degree" which I guess is referring to clockwise/anti .. (quote me if am wrong)

    Couldn't figure out how we got cis/trans from a octahedral structure????

    These were the files that were uploaded to the website before some of the links became broken on transition metals, they probably aren't identical to the ones uploaded now with missing links but I suspect they're very similar

    Sorry for the double post but I also have made some booklets for the 3 main topics in the exam. However they may be a bit broad so if anyone wants me to make a booklet that is more specific to a certain topic then feel free to ask

    Ahh yeah, she got to it first (I'm on my phone and had to dig out my copy lol)

    Hmmm I kinda see what you mean! So 'same number of degrees' must refer to the fact that they are mirror images... Thank you

    For cis trans, two of the ligands are bidentate, so you kinda have to put aside knowing that the structure is octahedral and treat each ligand as if the structure was square planar. I.e. one isomer has the Cl opposite each other, as with the ethane-1,2-diamine, and the other isomer, Cl's next to each other and ethane-1,2-diamine adjacent. Hopefully this clears it up a bit?!?

    Haha..yh better be quick next time :P
    Well, I am glad I saw this question cuz I was gonna go to the exam room thinking cis/trans is only possible of tetrahedral and suqare planar

    How's everyone revising for this? Death by past paper? Seems to be the best way with so much of the exam based on calculations

    I thought I'd finally got this paper nailed. I've worked really hard on it with my teachers to make sure I knew what I was doing. And then I just did a past paper, not sure which, and suddenly I can't do half of it.

    I hate EEE so much :P
