    Also what did you guys put for the fuel cell question? The one where you had to choose from a list.
    I did

    Reactants - top box
    energy given out - middle box
    reactants have less energy - bottom box

    Yeah that has to be correct cos its an exothermic reaction...

    That's what I did too! But, I'm having doubts, as I know the middle one is right but because I think it may have been "reactants have less energy" at the top, and "products" at the bottom..

    I am sure that the middle one was right, but i don't know about the other two. I had thought that the bottom might be "products" as well, but I doubt that the top one was "reactants have less energy" as the line on the graph was high- and you need more energy for the line to go higher.... I think

    This is correct as the reaction is exothermic, so energy is transferred to the surroundings (meaning the products themselves must give out/lose energy).
    Ah good! Thanks!!

    H2 > 2H+ + 2e-
    waahaa Yes this is what I did! Thanks, I wasn't too sure about this ...

    Well it's a bit vague
    You're left with products but they have less energy so couldn't it be either?

    i thought it was 2H.2 -4e- >2H2.0 due to the electrode reaction in a fuel cell

    But it said that H2 was at the beginning and it deposited electrons and h+ ions I think...

    I'm not sure what the mark scheme will say, both are technically right so i think they will give both versions

    Well actually i put 2H+ + 2e- -> H2 but its the same thing really

    Right Can someone help me please?! I'm really worried about the physics exam, I revised like a month ago and i thought i would remember it all but now all my other exams are out of the way I've looked now and i can't get my head around it Could anybody explain
    Diodes
    Motors
    Generators
    Polarisation
    Radioisotopes
    I'm having a mental breakdown Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee, it would really help

    Well I am sorted, i only needed a b in this aperture to get an a star overall and u think I got that comfortably

    I made one or two silly mistakes but if you revised well enough, the exam was pretty easy

    What do you think the highest it could be for the A* boundary?
