    the question asked why yield would increase if pressure increased:
    the answer: because there ar eless particles from the forward reaction.

    its a classic question and comes up on every past paper, this is exactly what the mark schemes say
    Can you remember what the 1st questions were about?

    for the question that was like 'why if the temp is increased does the yield decrease?' was the answer because the reaction is exothermic

    Alkaline was OH- ions,
    and the other one about the Ph being 1, was H+ ions.
    Thank god I wrote that

    How comes u multiplied it by 34
    Sorry it's just I can't remember what answer I got I only remember how I worked it out

    beacuse 34 was the Mr of the whole of ammonia or something, like 2N + 6H = 34

    guys sorry to say but the grade boundaries will be ridiculously high. it might even exceed the all time high of 38 for an A*...

    I can't remember the questions exactly, but what did everyone write for the stuff on ammonia?

    There was one about the yield and pressure.. i can't really remember haha
    one of the questions for the yield with the 80kg was the maximum product produced and it actually produced 12kg, that was 15%
