Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th May
I didn't even draw the bonds, just wrote 35Cl+ and 35Cl+ for 70
and 37Cl+ and 37Cl+
I think they'd have to be very picky to discredit you.
Also, do you get working out marks for the working out of the relative atomic mass?
Because I did the significant figures wrong. -
Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayI Just saw the same thing that you say .It was Solid Sodium Oxide(Original post by Freyma)
I can't quite remember, but I think that question specified that it was a "Solid Sodium Oxide." Which would mean that it couldn't have been a peroxide, right?
Agree with you 100%. Lets see when the results comes.

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayIt was definitely Na2O2, the numbers didn't add up any other way, sorry!(Original post by Richee)

Sodium peroxide is solid by the way -

I believe your answer is correct. When I was dong the question I felt I'm getting the wrong answer.
good luck

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayOh right I see! Good luck to you too!(Original post by Richee)

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th May
My biggest flaw was doubting myself. The question where you had to do 4 structural formula and then 2 display formula's. I think I originally do right, then last second I panicked and switched them round so I think I did 4 display formula's followed by 2 structural. Goodbye 6 marks.
Fortunately I put the most pathetic of crossing outs on them with the hope that a kind examiner may give me the marks. NUMPTY -
Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayNo as long as you still drew the correct structural or displayed formula, it doesn't matter what formula they ask you for and what ever formula you draw, the mark scheme always says 'allow correct displayed/structural formula', so as long as it was the correct formula, it doesn't matter what way you draw it (displayed, structural, molecular). SO you probably got most of those 6 marks if not all of them.(Original post by UniKingg)

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayI'm not sure... I did the same thing.... But it makes sense to me NOW... because they would go undetected if they're not ions =|(Original post by suvin321)
Species for value 70
(35Cl--35Cl)+
Species for value 74
(37Cl--37Cl)+
Guys...what if in this answer you forget to put the '+' charge? will you not gain any marks? thanks -

I think we will get the marks cause in most past papers you dont need to be explicit about them being ionic. As long as you show you understand the isotope combinations you should get the mark.(Original post by 007Shella)

I made this error too

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th Mayit could also be 2NaO(Original post by 117r)

I said that we don't know when combustion is complete, we don't know when methane had completely burned in oxygen.
the answer was because there were always some co2 produced........it was in a past paper in the previous spec -
Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayBrother, it asked for the molecular formula for '78' or something(Original post by arnab)
it could also be 2NaO
Na0 (23+16) = 39
Times by 2
You get: Na202 -

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th May2NaO = 2Na + 2O(Original post by Future Medics)
Brother, it asked for the molecular formula for '78' or something
Na0 (23+16) = 39
Times by 2
You get: Na202
Therefore > Mr of 2Na = 23*2 = 46
Mr of 2O = 16*2 = 32
46+32 = 78
Na2O2 is the same as 2NaO, at least in terms of molecular mass....... -
Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayNot the molecular formula, no(Original post by arnab)

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th MayYEAH MASS ... BUT it asked for MOLECULAR FORMULA (I'm not sure)...(Original post by arnab)
2NaO = 2Na + 2O
Therefore > Mr of 2Na = 23*2 = 46
Mr of 2O = 16*2 = 32
46+32 = 78
Na2O2 is the same as 2NaO, at least in terms of molecular mass.......
But your mass is correct, maybe you'll get the mark

Re: Edexcel Chemistry Unit 1 15th Maysorry, had to find your quote somewhere, erm, clear some of your inbox space so i can send you a pm about it!(Original post by This Honest)
Took the words out of my mouth
I found A2 slightly easier and more enjoyable than AS
