Hi, I just sat the 2013 June f322 chemistry exam and am afraid I didn't put any enthalpy signs for the enthalpy questions.. what will happen? will a get 1 point deducted, 2 points or loose all the points for those questions..? please could any one offer any insight... stressing :-s thank you
The signs only account for one mark out of three usually.

I have no idea on the marking scheme but logic would say that if the enthalpy is positive and you left out the sign then it shouldn't matter but if the enthalpy is negative and you didn't write the negative then the answer is completely wrong.
