    no that is wrong
    it is cnh2n-2

    cyclopentene is c5h8
    you don't need to know about alkenes only alkanes for f331

    Very sorry, my mistake - misread as cyclopentane!

    I did:

    60cm3 = 0.06dm3
    0.06dm3 x 12.5 = 0.75dm3
    0.75/21 x 100 = 3.57dm3

    May be completely wrong, but it seemed like the logical thing to do at that moment in time...

    Overall, an awful paper :'(

    Something along the lines of 3.57. 21% of that was the volume of 02, thats how i checked.

    How did we draw the ionic bond? Did the Na have 8 electrons in the outer shell, or none?

    In other words, was it like this:

    That was a horrible paper, I did the one in Jan as well and that was so much easier, I'm so annoyed with myself that I didn't do better in that one!

    I think the top one is "chemically correct" because it is the outermost shell which has lost the electron - the shell still exists even with no electrons, but I reckon you could get away with both

    that sounds about right.
    I completely failed that question.
    Other than that everything was okay?

    That paper was beautiful, only disruptive question was 4c about the melting points of arsenic and gallium, but I worked it out in the end

    I put the second one...but it might not really matter which one you draw as long as you show the eight on the outer shell of Na are all from the same atom?

    What did everyone get of the empirical formula?
