AQA CHEM1: 15th May 2012

Scroll to see replies

Right all, we are all going to ace this paper and get the grade we want, postive thinking works wonders! We can do this!

lets practice questions - like on the biology threads, lets shoot questions at one another and if you dont know something perhaps someone can help

1. write the equation for the ionisation energy of Lithium (include state symbols
2. how many lone pairs does a water molecule have? and what are the bonding angles
3. what bonding would be found in magnesium and describe as much as you can about it
3. what are the two different types of cracking and describe condition needed?
4. how can sulphur be removed?
5. how does a catalytic converter work?
6. what problems can the greenhouse effect cause?
7. definition of RAM
8. Define isotopes.
9. How does Mass spectrometry work?
10. Whats the difference between high resolution mass spec and low resolution mass spec?
11. what are the charges and masses of protons, neutrons and electrons?
12. what happens to the ionisation energy and melting point between sulphur and phosphorus?
13. describe and explain the trend in atomic radii across the period and down the group
14. describe and explain the trend in ionisation energy across the period and down the group
15. carbon and graphite- what bonding is present, and describe their features
16. name 4 types of crystals, and give an example for each. Explain as much as you can about them



think of it as the examiners are your worst enemy and you and trying to prove them wrong, and show they you know everything!
stay calm, read the question twice and try your best! remember everyone has a bad paper at some point, so dont be let down if this happens!

Have fun revising and good luck to you all!

oh god i think ive revised enough but if there is alot of hsw then how we meant
to revise it as the textbook doesnt have that much hsw


well i tend to at the side of the page bulletpoint what topic its related to, and what could apply to the situation, have a look online and just do as many practice papers as possible.

Hello everyone.

I'll be doing this exam again along with CHEM2. I am becoming pretty much an expert now so if anyone wants to do a little study-buddy exchange, I'll be happy to be of help (or vice-versa). :smile:

HELP with Jan 11 Chem 1 question

2) c) (ii),
3) a) (iii), (iv) and (v)

really stuck :confused:pls help

thanks


Basically of 3aiii
we worked out how many moles reacted with HCL, but if you see the volum of the two one i 250 and the other is 25. Hence we need to multiply the answer we got for 3aii by 10.

iv. You do: moles = mass/Mr
Mr = Mass /moles we got the moles and we know the mass
Mr= 138.2

v.We know the Ar of C and o3 (12 +16*3) and then we divide by 2 to Get as they gave it as M2

Hope you get it!

do we need to know about isomers for this unit or is that unit2?

Yes we do. Mainly positional isomerism (carbon chain arranged differently).

Hi Aisha,

Just quick revision from Jan '12 paper --

What are the conditions needed for thermal cracking to occur?

How is ice structured? Explain in terms of bonding. Give general properties.

Does anyone have the JAN 2012 paper. Im goin to do it as practose before tommrows exam

there should be another thread, check for threads with attachments

learn: positional, functional and chain

E/Z is unit 2

thermal cracking
high temp 700-1200K
high pressure usually around 7000KPa
not sure what else


ice is denser than water, as water molcules are spaced further apart
hydrogen bonds are present

For thermal cracking it is >=10 atm

Ice is LESS dense than water! Remember density = mass/volume -- if the water molecules are spread further apart then volume would be greater; as density and volume are inversely proportional, it would mean that density is less.

Good job otherwise. Your turn to ask questions now. :smile:

HELP with Jan 11 Chem 1 question

2) c) (ii),
A molecule of H2O can react with an H+ ion to form an H3O+ ion.
Draw and name the shape of the H3O+ ion. Include any lone pairs of electrons.
Shape of the H3O+ ion.

Does this happen by co-ordinate bonding, ie the O donates a lone pair to H leaving it with only 1 lone pair?

yeah its coordinate / dative covalent, the O donates ONE of its two lone pairs to the H+ (which hasnt got any electrons itself).

Bond angle is 107 degrees and its a trigonal pyramidal (correct me if i'm wrong)
