iGCSE 2012 Chemistry Discussion
Chemistry exam discussion - share revision tips in preparation for GCSE, A Level and other chemistry exams and discuss how they went afterwards.

Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry Discussionmate...for our spec...u have to spell sulphur as "SULFUR" be careful!(Original post by squeakypop)
Ethene and steam are passed over a phosphoric acid catalyst to produce ethanol. This process is known as hydration. It takes place at a temperature of 300 degrees and a pressure of 60-70 atmospheres. Only some of the ethene reacts, the rest is recycled through the process.
The Haber process is the production of ammonia by the reaction of hydrogen from natural gas and nitrogen from the air. It takes place at a temperature of 450 degrees and pressure of 200 atmospheres, using an iron catalyst. Unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled through the process. The forward reaction (the process is reversible) is exothermic.
The chlor-alkali process is the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution using a titanium anode and a steel cathode. The products are chlorine at the anode, hydrogen at the cathode, and a remaining solution of sodium hydroxide. The process takes place in a diaphragm cell to keep the products separate and prevent them from reacting with each other.
The contact process is the production or sulphuric acid.
Sulphur reacts with oxygen to produce sulphur dioxide.
This reacts with more oxygen to produce sulphure trioxide. This is a reversible reaction which happens at 450 degrees, normal pressure, and with a vanadium oxide catalyst. The forward reaction is exothermic.
The sulphur dioxide is absorbed it concentrated sulphuric acid to produce oleum (or fuming sulphuric acid). This is added to water to give sulphuric acid.
Hope this helps! Good luck everyone

Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionNo we don't. Sulphur is perfectly acceptable.(Original post by NilFBosh)

(And no, this is not exam discussion. I'm not making a comment about the exam we just had.) -
Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry Discussioni guess so , so how did you find it?(Original post by g_l)
Can we discuss it now? -

Yes, we are allowed to discuss it now.
I didn't think it was too hard. Thankfully the stuff I'd just revised came up!
If you increase pressure in an equilibrium reaction it goes to the right, doesn't it? -
Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionYes, it goes to the right(Original post by Mazzini)

Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionI found it ok, i think it saved my first paper...(Original post by Rss777)
i guess so , so how did you find it?
How bout you?
Well I think i got 33.88 for that........(Original post by Rss777)
was the molar enthalpy 48?
Can't remember though -
Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry Discussionwhat was the explanation?(Original post by gdcf)
Yes, it goes to the right -
Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionI got that as well(Original post by Rss777)
was the molar enthalpy 48?
Then again, I wasn't really sure how to go about doing it and just tried to make some sort of calculation that made sense.
What did everyone put for the electrolysis equations of Aluminium and Oxygen? -
Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry Discussioni got 48 too(Original post by Rss777)

Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionAluminum : al3+ + 3e- --> Al(Original post by HerroKitty)
I got that as well

Oxygen: 2o2- ---> o2 + 4e- -
It was q/n which is energy over moles. You would have calculated the moles beforehand. The energy in kj was the energy 1800/1000. I got -48kj. Because it was exothermic.(Original post by HerroKitty)

Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionI dont remember exactly, but i got 12 electrons both the equations(Original post by HerroKitty)

Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionOkay thanks(Original post by gdcf)
Yes, it goes to the right
I put it goes to the right because there is more pressure so there is less space for the particles to move around in and they are going faster so there is a greater chance of them colliding (so, reacting too, collision theory) so more product will be made so it goes to the right. -
Re: iGCSE 2012 Chemistry DiscussionHow did you get energy as 1800?, my value for energy was 1702 and i got a decimal value for the answer so im probably wrong(Original post by Graceyfave)
