Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadRead enough of this thread to realise I missed out the last question and make me feel a tad depressed... not going to read any more :P
Our year gets the weirdest, hardest Higher Chemistry in years, and then the weirdest, hardest AH Chemistry in years. *Sigh*. -

Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadFor the kinetics question, the first graph is order 1, not order 0 since as you double the concentration of A from 0.2 mol/l to 0.4 mol/l you half the time (40 seconds to 20 seconds) i.e. doubling the reaction rate.

Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadIts not its zero order i looked the question up online, there is an identical graph with it stating it's zero order, it would be first order if the graph was of reaction rate vs concentration, but because it was time its not(Original post by tompy123)
I actually felt as though I got on really well in that exam. I noticed too that the paper was heavily based on unit 3, but unit 3 is probably my best unit :P
Also, for the kinetics question, the first graph is order 1, not order 0 since as you double the concentration of A from 0.2 mol/l to 0.4 mol/l you half the time (40 seconds to 20 seconds) i.e. doubling the reaction rate. -

Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadI refused to copy down my multiple choice answers I knew this thread would just depress me.(Original post by NMx11)
I got:
ADDBB BCCAC CBDBA CACCA CBDDD ABDAB AABDB CCBDD
I made loads of silly mistakes!

My heart sank when I heard somebody talking about a proton nmr graph. I just thought "...what nmr graph?!"
It was only four marks though

Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadA graph of concentration against time. "The gradient of the slope can be calculated to give a value of for the rate in mol l^-1 s-1. Since the gradient of the graph is constant with respect to iodine concentration, [I2], we can conclude that the reaction is zero order with respect to [I2]" (Gibb & Hawley, 2010)(Original post by tompy123)
For the kinetics question, the first graph is order 1, not order 0 since as you double the concentration of A from 0.2 mol/l to 0.4 mol/l you half the time (40 seconds to 20 seconds) i.e. doubling the reaction rate. -

Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadOkay. It looks like the graph shows that the time for the reaction is dependant on the concentration of A?(Original post by jonnywalsh)
Its not its zero order i looked the question up online, there is an identical graph with it stating it's zero order, it would be first order if the graph was of reaction rate vs concentration, but because it was time its not
I see where I've gone wrong: Ais independant since the time doesn't always half when the concentration is doubled i.e. 0.1 mol/l to 0.2mol/l reduces the time from 50 seconds to 40 seconds. Oops :PLast edited by tompy123; 14-05-2012 at 19:08. -

Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadSorry about how long this has taken me.... Any explanations just ask...
Also please tell me where i went wrong thanks
ADDAB BDCCA CDDBA AACCD CCBDB ACDAB BABDB BCADD
1 a)i) 295.6 ii) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10
b) Photoconductive/voltaic
c)Positive holes
2a)i)5 ii) 3
b)2HNO2 + 4e- +4H+ ----->>>> H2N2O2 + 2H2O
c) dicyanocuprate(I)
3a) ionic radii
b) 6 chlorine surrounding 1 sodium vice versa
c) KF
d)i) hydration of both ions and lattice enthalpy
ii) Increase in entropy
4a) Trigonal Planar
b) Lone pair of electrons from oxygen donated to form bond, ie only oxygen electrons in bond.
c) ethers
5a) 3.95g
b) Tap water was used which contains metal ions, using deionised would have removed this problem and hence more accurate
c) Copper formed a complex as well as nickel.
6a) Separating Funnel
b)0.13
c) The temperature was different
d) Ethanol is soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding and hence will not partition
7a) 0.575 mol l^-1
b) Hard to see the colour change as the solution is dark brown and hence the equivalence point will be inaccurate
c) CH3COO- (aq)
8a) 500K-> 2000K
b) Since gradient is -entropy, a downwards line represents an increase in entropy.
c)Boiling point of Mg
9)1.45
10) a) 1
B)0
C) s^-1
11)a)i) Hydrogen ii) Hydrogen Chloride
b)i) Acid Chlorides
ii)meh cba
iii) Faster and goes to completion as it is not an equilibrium. Also means greater yield
12a) C8 H14 S2 O2
bi) The one with 3 lines coming out of it
ii) 4 different functional groups and hence asymmetric. Hence Chiral ----> optically active
13a) To make sure that none of the reactants/ products escape on heating
b) Hydrolysis
c) Anti bumping Granules
d) No oily residue remains
e) 3.36g
14a)i) Electrophilic Substitution ii) Phenylamine ( The funny thing is that this question is incorrect as NaOH is required to turn the salt into the phenlyamine but oh well... )
b)i) Check the internet for structure
ii) One double bond no overall charge
15a) Secondary halogenoalkane
b) meh cba
c) Two peaks excluding TMS at 1 and 2 with the peak at 1 having a height of 6 and the peak at 2 having a height of 2.Last edited by Marcus4004; 14-05-2012 at 20:03. -

Haha, don't blame you! Although tbh i do feel a little better knowing that I have some questions right! :L -

Re: Advanced Higher Chemistry 2012 ThreadThis is my first post on TSR so am not sure how this whole thing works but I have the answers my teacher gave me for the multiple choice. He did them pretty quick so there may be a couple mistakes he said.
