How do you guys think Chains and Rings went? :smile:

how about foundation?

i think it went ok
thought foundation was ok, got the crystalised water thing wrong though, i said it was bonded but it wasnt.... do you include the water in the mass? also was the negative ion so4 (2-) trying to work out roughly how much i need in my other modules now!

It was pretty damn easy, I thought. They were basically taken from previous papers by the look of it.

Should be an easy A. How about you? :smile:

yeah i got the same for the negative ion, i included the water in the mass, got something like 172.2, cant really remember exactly.

I did :smile:
It was ok. i couldnt do q2 though the 2mol to one mol thing....

Chains and Rings guys,what did you for the last question on the paper, reagents, conditions and draw the product I drew Propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol.

i just wrote propan 1 ol and propan 2 ol and conditions + reagents are :
steam /H20 (g) H3PO4 catalyst and 300 degrees C, 80 atm.

Thanks for that, for the long written answer I wrote all about Fractional Distillation, then Cracking, reforming and Isomerisation, then ethanol can be regrown by plants and combustion equation, I needed extra paper to complete this answer, even though I am a grade E student in chemistry. What did you right about the oxidising agent, the fuctional group and what happens in the reaction?

I only did HFHF thought it was a great paper, not exactly easy but no real nasty questions in it, some of the past papers were tonnes harder. Still not sure how i did though, i can never really tell tbh :s-smilie:

yeh i wrote same as u for long answer.
umm which question was that? i think it was an ester functional group so O-C=O

oxidising agent of acidified potassium dichromate and colour change from orange to green. what u put?

I wrote alcohol - functional group
acidified Dichromate
Orange to green

I know my fuctional group is wrong, others in my college wrote carboxylic acid, so your answer probably is right. I completely messed up the structures on this question, didn't have a clue, what did you write for the number of isomers and why alkenes have cis and trans?

Hey guys i took the exam today thought it was pretty easy tbh but i messed up the no. of structural isomers i put 7 and 4 put it was 6 and 3 i think :frown:
Anyone else think there was like nooo space for the 13 marker grrrr had to squeeze it in

no. of isomers was 5 for the first and 3 for the second, cis trans because double bond restricts rotation so each C in C=C can bond to two diff. groups.
what u put?
