    Does anyone know what the answer was the qeustion on coulombs and the mass of the cathode?

    I think the question was what was the mass of the Anode at the end of the 1st reaction. It started off a 2.20g I think and it said the cathode gained 0.12g and they gave you numbers to pick from and I got the answer 2.08g. What did everyone else get?

    I got 2.08g, not sure it was right though.

    Usually, an A is approximately 34-39. An A* would be around 46/60. (Last year it was 44).

    Yes, but due to the relative ease of the exam i expect grade boundaries to shoot up.

    Yeah I said 2.08g. But what about the question after that with the coulombs?

    It asked how many colombs needed for the cathode to gain 0.48g and I think you had to use te table they gave you which gave you 0.24, find how many colombs that was and them double it but I don't knowif it's right yet

    The calculation one? I swear it was more than that!
    I think the answer is 1440, because you had to convert the time (which was given in minutes) into seconds.

    I thought it was about the same as all the other papers in terms of difficulty-nothing too surprising! And pretty much all of the questions that came up had already ben in past papers and so I was overall pretty pleased. You?

    I'm not sure to be honest :/ I keep thinking I've answered all of the questions wrong, but i did my best what did you get for the calculation ones? I found them difficult and looking on here i think i did them wrong

    For the concentration of moles I got 0.75 moles of carbon and can't remember the other one

    I got for the ammonium sulphate one, 132 then 21.2 %. I got 1440 for the coulombs question, and 2.08g on the cathode for electrolysis. I think that the moles of oxygen was 0.025 and the moles of CO2 was 0.00075. Were there any other calculations? And don't worry you'll probably have done better than you expected!
