Yes correct, it would be a temperature above 100 degrees hence the steam but you don't need to know the exact temperature but a range of 100-400 will suffice,
Now you've answered that hence give me another way of making ethanol


Another way is fermentation which involves the use of sugar in a solution mixed with yeast which produces ethanol. For this method, you need a low temperature. However, the ethanol you get as a product is not very concentrated so you may have to distill it and it also may contain impurities which have to be removed by electrolysis.

Explain Wegner's continental drift theory (what he noticed and the actual theory)


Wegener hypothesised that originally the continents had formed a super-continent named Pangaea. He believed the continents eventually drifted apart, although he couldn't explain how. He used evidence of similar fossils being found in South America and the West coast of Africa, however, in 1920, scientists argued that a land bridge had originally connected the two continents. Wegener also used the idea of a 'jigsaw' in that South America and Africa would fit together. Nowadays, the idea of convection currents occuring in the mantle supports this theory.

Give an advantage and disadvantage of reusing poly(ethene) bags.

Advantage - you don't use as much energy that would otherwise be used in the making of a polymer so you save money.
Disadvantage - idk :/

If it's about metal fatigue then yeh, it's in the revision guide and in the spec
(If this ain't what ur on about leave me to it!) 😂

Advantage - Poly(ethene) bags take a long time to degrade therefore reusing them means you will have less that need to be degraded.

Disadvantage - not a clue, do they stretch over time therefore weaken?
What type of graph is best for continuous data?

(I feel like they're gonna throw in lots of "how science works" and ISA questions in

Possibly loss of jobs? / profit, don't think there are ? Hmmm

No doesn't say anywhere in the specification about stress of metals I even checked using a the find tool on chrome and 0 results showed for, stress or metal fatigue
mistake me if i'm wrong or direct me to the page number in the specification

Discolours when there are double bonds so can identify unsat fats and oils
