    for 7b for "suggest a chemical process that mightve led to contamination of propan-2-ol with propanone" is it okay to say extraction of crude oil?
    i wanted to write oxidation but it felt more like a "reaction" than a "chemical process" ? idk

    and can someone link me to the revision thread for unit 4 ?
    Oxidation is a chemical process

    A lot of people like to take the time to go over a paper and estimate the grade they might achieve. For me it helps me get closures and allows me to clear my head and move on to other exams. If thats not the kind of person you are then fine, but don't tell other people what they should or shouldn't do. It can be helpful to go over questions from a paper, its nice to find out that you got the same answer as others, it confirms that you were doing the right thing.
    ^^ I've already said sorry, calm down xD

    do you think 'extraction of crude oil' is too far off? it makes sense to me...

    Well i wrote out an equation like
    HX + NaOH goes to XNa + H20

    then worked out the moles of HX to be 0.00261
    moles of NaOH to be 0.00125
    then did 0.00261-0.00125 which gave 0.00136
    then used the equation H+ = Ka multiplied by Acid over Salt
    which gave me a H+ concentration of 0.000032748 then - logged that and got 4.4848...
    arent these values the mole, so how did you put them in the equation, should we not have worked out the concentration in total volume of the acid and the salt, or does the volume cancel out thats why we dont work it out????? :???

    for 4f(i) did anyone get tick blank tick blank? how did you do this quetsion? i did it on the basis that you can only use it for strong bases because the pH scale changes above pH7 so persumably no tailing off beyond that region?

    I'm not sure... don't think so but I don't have a mark scheme

    yh this is what i did, i hope its correct, the principle is right so yh

    what did people get for 4d(i) for the single product?
    i was thinking dimethyl ester at first but there would be a hydrogen left so i did an ester group and a carboxylic acid on the benzene

    and a friend wrote the methyl group joining to the oxygen on the molecule so the oxygen is connected to the two carbonyl and also the methyl, forming three bonds. is that possible?

    i said it is oxidised, the process is redox..

    3 ethyl groups as bonded to N.
    c(CH3)3NHCH3

    Feel free to amend and add to this as some questions I dont know (only a couple). This is very rushed so likely to be mistakes.
    Very very last question - I didn't get this D:

    I had N bonded to one hydrogen and two carbons. Then off each carbon I had two CH3 groups and a hydrogen. No idea whether that's right or not! And as you can tell, writing out structural formulae is NOT my forte

    mol(NaOH) = 10*10^-3(0.125) = 1.25*10^-3
    Mol(HX) = 15*10^-3(0.174) = 2.61*10^-3
    Mol ( x-) = 1.25*10^-3
    mol (HX) after reaction 2.61*10^-3 - 1.25*10^-3 = 1.36*10^-3
    [H+] = ka [acid]/ [conjugate base] use mols as volumes cancel
    [H+] = (3.01*10^-5) ( 1.36*10^-3 / 1.25*10^-3)
    = 3.27*10^-5 moldm^-3

    PH = 4.48
    For 3) e) I think that is correct.
