    i put it was flammable so cant be a cleaning thing
    and its cheaper because it had low ODP
    is that right?
    My sis put flammable, and she's smarrrt, so probably lol.

    Cheaper wouldn't have gotten you the mark though, because thats sort of irrelevant.

    Was that the "type of reaction in figure 1" question?

    Didn't think of copolymerisation! Initially I though "addition" but then I realised it could be "elimination" the other way...so in the end I put "reversible" but I'm really not very sure...

    Br2 --> 2Br-

    So it's reduced and the oxidation state goes from 0 to -1
    I put reversible reaction for figure 1. Hoping it's right because it had equilibrium symbol.

    oh no the question asked " why is the compound d cleaper" and it had 0.0 ozone depleting potential
    so put low ODP

    OCR are so sneaky! It's probably more that I don't read the questions properly to be honest.. hahah.

    Ah gooood me too! but i didnt mention steam... would that matter ?
    Not too sure, maybe go through some past mark schemes and check. 300 degrees wouldddd suggest that steam is formed, so i'm thinking it wouldn't make that much of a difference. It was only 2 marks.

    i put copolymerisation because 2 different monomers were incorporated to form that product

    for the question why is it cheaper, you say because it contains no chlorine.

    Ohhh ur talking about THAT question lol.

    Ahahaha, its cheaper because its cheaper.

    Joke.

    Errrmmm yeh maybe, dunno. I put it doesn't contain Cl2 or fluorine, sooo its easier to extract, because they're both highly reactive and need to be stored as liquids during transport.

    H3PO4, 60 atm, 300degrees, steam
    I wrote concentrated H2SO4 then H2O at 1 atm

    Probably not? I guess if you get marks in the previous question for writing down S goes from +4 to +6 you won't get any marks in the next question for writing the same thing.
    Surely you mean that vice versa.

    If the oxidation states were +4 to +6, there's no point saying that X is a reducing because the oxidation states go from +4 to +6, because thaaaaat is repetition.

    Its not repetition if you say the oxidations state of X molecule decreases.

    how many marks for a B usually?

    Yeh i think there are two different reaction pathways. Might be wrong though, i only memorised one of them to avoid confusion.

    Sulfur was the reducing agent.

    70/100 = Ans - 0.07 ( i think )

    I thought types of reaction refers to addition, substitution, elimination etc? Is 'copolymerisation' or equilibrium an actual type of reaction?
