How do you identify weakest /strongest reducing/oxidising agent from a table please? Also when doing this do you need to take into account E cell values

Reply 3

You just look at the electrochemical series given to you. The substance with most negative standard electrode potential value is the strongest reducing agent (and therefore the weakest oxidising agent) and the substance with the most positive standard electrode potential value is the strongest oxidising agent (and therefore the weakest reducing agent).

You’ll do great, so think of it as 36 days until you get the opportunity to ace this exam.

I have a comp exam on the same day and a maths exam the next day :colondollar:

I just can't do inorganic. Everyone complaining to me about either physical or organic but my ass really can't with inorganic. There's just too much bs to remember and it's just full of dry topics that I'm not even vaguely interested in. Also I hope the silly ******* who decided to squeeze in Proteins and DNA into Chemistry runs out of tissue roll after taking a giant ****.

yeah just gotta try and not get overwhelmed and trust that the revision I've done is sufficient cuz I feel like once you get stressed your brain comes foggy and you cant really focus and think straight

Yh my timetable is so ass. All my exams are crammed into the last 2 weeks of exam period as well. I've got a friend who has one week between each of their exams (lucky prick) and they have the audacity to complain to my face. I'm still trying to find someone with a worse timetable than me so I can feel better about myself.

Right?? I really can't deal with memorisation and then inorganic is just straight up memorisation handed to us on a plate. Like who gives a rats about what shade of blue this precipitate is or what pH this solution is?? Literally noone. Gonna forget that shi the second I'm ~~out of that exam~~ inside the exam hall

Inorganic is the best imo and A level sadly doesn’t do it justice. Thankfully (for you, anyways), inorganic isn’t a huge part of the course and most of paper 1 is physical chemistry anyway.

Also, that is a ******* amazing insult and I now kinda want to pinch it.

I’d say schedule a day or two to take some time off revision and find something that will distract you.

Chances are that you’ll get a strong A or an A* regardless, but it’s still not worth burning yourself out.
