Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionYou're right, fixed. I didn't do this in the exam, honest(Original post by n00b/)
You read from graph wrongly
I got 1 mole ------> 24l
? --------> 0.11l
?= 0.0046moles
0.0046 * 6.02*10^23 = 2.76*10^21

Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionI got A in the exam too, I think you're right.(Original post by n00b/)
I agree with all your answers except for 17 - i got A - anyone confirm or deny?Last edited by mimx; 14-05-2012 at 20:35. -

Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 Discussionhi i thought that it was the enzyme which was allowed to adjust to the environment? Dunno?(Original post by mimx)

SECTION B:
1)a) carbon OR boron.
b) increasing nuclear charge / pulls electrons closer / similar.
2)a) to prevent loss of acid spray during effervescence (whilst allowing gas to escape).
b)i) 0.017 g s-1
ii) 0.39 g
3)a) 0.125 moles
b) incomplete combustion / evaporation of methanol / heat loss to surroundings
4)a)
b)i) no effect
ii) 5.523 g
c)
5)a) 2.76375 x 1021
b)
c) one which is in a different state from the reactants
6)a)

b)i) 0.00147 mol l-1
b)ii) van der waals etc
7)a) W=9 X=6 Y=2 Z=2
b) two small molecules join to create a larger one over a C=C double bond
c) Between an N attached to an H on one molecule to an H attached to an N on the other.
8)a) amide/peptide link
b)

c) Essential (amino acid)
d) Condenser of some sort e.g. wet paper towel around mouth of test tube.
9)a)i) 3-methylbutan-2-ol
ii)

9)a) Bromine water test.
b) octadec-9,12,15-trienoic acid
c) right hand bit / the head
10)a) the air
b) methyl methanoate
c) 70%
11)a) 4 BF3 + 3 NaBH4 -> 2 B2H6 + 3 NaBF4
b) -2168 kJ mol-1
c) 143444 kJ
12)a) to allow the potato discs to adjust to the temperature of the solution
b) hydrogen peroxide
c) enzyme denatured
13)a) 1.89 g
b)i) exothermic
ii) slope down left to right, same as last curve
c) they deplete the ozone layer
14)a)i) 10-5
ii) NH4NO3 dissolves into NH4+ and NO3-
Water equilibrium already present: [wrote out water equilibrium]
NO3- forms a strong acid with H+ from water equilibrium, so remains disassociated.
But NH4+ forms a weak alkali with the OH- ions so forms the equilibrium: [wrote out weak alkali equilibrium]
This reduces concentration of OH- ions and so the water equilibrium shifts right to compensate.
This causes an excess of H+ ions and hence, acidity.
b) products readily combustible or similar
15)a)i) to maintain a constant current
ii) time, current
b)i) products can be recycled back into step 1
ii)
16)a)

b) (2-)methylbutane
Also for 8b) i though it was an amino acid so i put it down with an amine group and carboxylic acid group at each end? porbably wrong though
thanks so much for putting the answers up! -
Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionIs it not to adjust to the new pH, seeing as it was measuring the effects of pH and not temperature?(Original post by mimx)
12 a) to allow the potato discs to adjust to the temperature of the solution -
Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionYeah, that's pretty much the same thing.(Original post by Maryam A)
hi i thought that it was the enzyme which was allowed to adjust to the environment? Dunno?
Most of the draw this compound ones I actually just looked up the structures instead of working it out, and I think for that one I got what I put as the image so I think it's right.(Original post by Maryam A)

Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionIt's pH buffer solution so it should be neutral in pH though that may be a change from potato fluid or whatever. I pulled my answer off a PPA sheet but I think maybe a better answer is the general 'to let it adjust to the new conditions' as said.(Original post by DragonWalnut157)

Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionI wrote pentane, and I was talking about the fatty acid! That was unthinkable.(Original post by deedee123)
I was close to tears in the exam thinking i was doing awful, but i appear to have done alright actually!
I didn't even attempt to balance that equation, I can't get my head around them, but oh well! So annoyed about the last question, wrote pentane instead! hopefully get a wee half mark for that though

Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionI really hope you're right, because that's what I wrote :P(Original post by DragonWalnut157)

Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 DiscussionIt wasn't me! 'mimx' posted them(Original post by Aishah123)
Thanks for putting the answers up Maryam A!!
thank you mimx

Re: Higher Chemistry 2012 Discussion
Thanks for uploading the answers. I'm not quite sure how I did - looking at the Section B I think I have done fairly well but I can't remember Section A at all.
Does anyone have a link to the PDF of the paper? Or can someone kindly scan in the five multiple choice pages? I will buy you an Irn-Bru
