kinetics isn’t on this paper right? (like RDS and orders of reaction)

No it's not

No. That’s papers 2 and 3

same topics come up every year, but they vary the sections they ask about, maybe check the spec to make sure youve covered all areas!

I bloody hope not

Although if you go here I'm pretty sure it mentions that halfway through the document

Yes but not like this.
You ovi need to know about E Cell values
You need to know S tot = S system + S surroundings
Need to know Delta G = Enthalpy Change - S system x Temperature(in Kelvin)
Need to know Delta G = -RTln(K)

Because I'm in a generous mood, I have made some practice papers for you lot to use in your revision (note that I will NOT be making any more of these, because of how time consuming it is to do so - if you want more practice papers, you may have to make your own and I'd recommend using google docs if that is ever the plan).

Pages 1 - 24 on papers 1 and 2 are the question papers. Anything beyond that is the MS.
Pages 1 - 32 on paper 3 are the question paper and anything beyond that is the MS.

Disclaimer: these are NOT predicted papers or even remote attempts to guess what will actually come up. Anything that is not assessed on these practice papers could come up, so do not make these the entirety of your revision.

Erratum notice for MS on Q4(c)(ii) paper 3:

Thanks. Do you mind explaining why the concentration of chromium sulfate is not equal to the concentration of the acid? Don’t think I’ve ever seen a weak acid calc like this

Chromium(III) sulphate is Cr2(SO4)3 - that means per mole of it dissolved, there are two [Cr(H2O)6]^3+ ions that form in solution.

So [hexaaquachromium(III)] = 2 x [Cr2(SO4)3]

So 1 Cr3+ ion in Cr2(SO4)3 = 1 [Cr(H2O)6]^3+? And 1 Cr(H2O)6 complex ion produces 1 H+ ion shown by the equation?

2 Cr^3+ ions are present in 1 Cr2(SO4)3. Both of these chromium ions pick up water ligands upon dissolution.

Therefore each Cr2(SO4)3 makes two [Cr(H2O)6]^3+ complexes, which each act as monoprotic acids.

why's it not MgBr2? (it's MgCl2)

Thanks, did you make these questions yourself or are they from old spec papers?

I wrote them myself. It is just so I had more control over what I put in the papers.
