Hey! I would get my hands on the Edexcel A2 chemistry book by Ann Fullick. It's really good!
How're mocks going? :biggrin:

I'm slightly nervous for edexcel exams, the June 2014 exams were apparently really really bad :/ (for Chem last year)

I just write them out and just keep rewriting them out, a weird way lol but that's how I remember :smile:

. I keep looking through AS notes because edexcel love synoptic questions :/. And have you started unit 5?

Hey! So perhaps this is because it's 2am but I'm having trouble with a seemingly easy question from the June 2010 paper...
Right so its question 7a, asking about a test to distinguish propanone from propan-1-ol.
I chose warming with fehlings/benedict solution because the propanone can't be oxidised, and the alcohol can. The mark scheme says by using brady's reagent, which I have no problem with.
But just why is fehlings/benedict wrong??
Thanks :biggrin:

EDIT: OKAY so it's because of the strength of the ox agents haha
