    do we need to know about solubility product, Ksp ?
    no

    I was wondering what IMB was stronger Ion-dipole or hydrogen bonds. Hence which would improve the solubility in a dye to a greater extent, adding an NH2 group or an SO3-?

    Ionic groups make dyes more soluble. So adding SO3- will allow it to dissolve in water.

    Two questions:

    1)How did u calculate the pH for the last question?

    2) (Different paper) can u explain how to complete the reduction half equation?

    SO42- +....H++ .....e- ---> H2S +......

    Can anyone explain in the June 2010 paper
    where the mark scheme got 190 in the reactants side
    Thanks
    here is the link for the paper

    and has anyone got any tips about naming compounds
    i always get them wrong =/
    thanks

    1)skipped it

    2) SO42- +10H++ 8e- ---> H2S +4H2O, I just did it by considering what else could be eliminated (we only have H's abd O's left, immediately thought about water so I worked on that basis)

    what question
    Hi
    sorry
    It is question 1e(ii)
    and i just came across the question of calculating 2(f)
    how did they get CH3CH2OCH2CH3
    i dont understand how they obtained this
    would massively appreciate the help
    Thanks alot

    Oh kk, but why 8 electrons and not 4?

    one SO4 with -2 charge
    ten H+ ions with charge +1
    8 electrons with charge -1

    one(-2) + ten(+1) + eight(-1) = 0.

    hmmm... start off always by counting the longest possible string of C's, then start naming functional groups.

    apart from when specifically asked about the atomic emission spectrum, when else do we mention electrons drop back down a level releasing a photon? i used to just mention this in the normal 6 markers asking why chromophores are coloured, but after re-doing june 2010 (new spec) i realised in the mark scheme it would con a lot of marks (only allowed 2/6)?

    thanks in advance!

    190 is not from the reactant side.
    This is the reaction given to you:
    C6H12O + 2HNO3 --> C6H10O4 + 2H2O + N2O
    They've told you that the equation represents the production of nylon (C6H10O4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).

    You need to calculate the atom economy for this reaction. The formula for atom economy is:
    (Total molar mass of desired products / total molar mass of all products) x 100

    Desired products = C6H10O4 and N2O
    All Products = C6H10O4, 2H2O and N2O

    They've given you the Mr values you need so just add them together.
    Total Mr of desired products = 146 + 44 = 190
    Total Mr of all products = 146 + 2(18) + 44 = 226

    Atom economy = (190/226) x 100 = 84.1%

    The 190 comes from adding 146 (Mr of hexanedioic acid as it is used in the production of nylon) and 44 (Mr of nitrous oxide as it is used as an aerosol propellant) so together 190 is the mass of useful products. Does this help?

    If you count the longest chain of carbons first then you know what the end part will be, and you can then add on the functional groups in alphabetical order. And remember you always number the functional groups as low as you possibly can (so think about which end you start counting from!)

    Hope this helps
