Some help please,
do we need to know specific polymers and their uses, if so which ones?


Just Choloroethne to make PVC
AND
Tetrafluoroethene to make PTFE

Ooooops yeah! Mis read functional group somewhere!

Define Hess's Law


Hess's Law states that if a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial and final conditions are the same, the total enthalpy change is the same for each route.

Not necessarily, I am sure...
They'll be put in light context - Chemistry normally is examined very specific to the specification...
That's awesome for us!

ohh okay thankyou!! is that the case for all questions like this? or just for this particular q?


All questions like this, although they're usually nice and give whole numbers, but decimals do trip people up so watch out :smile:

I'm doing this as a resit, and im just saying if anybody does do badly once you do A2 then you come back to this it's so much easier so if you do bad this year just resit it next june and you'll most likely do so much better :biggrin:


Why is A2 harder? What is harder about it? I'm debating about whether to drop chemistry or not. I don't need it for uni as I wanna do maths.

I hope that makes sense :smile:

Hey,
basically you have to kind of form an algebraic equation.

So you know the overall enthalpy change = -184
and you H-H bond = 463
and Cl-Cl bond = 246
but you wanna find out 2HCl
soo.. H-H + Cl-Cl --> 2HCl = -184

463 + 246 --> 2HCl = -184
463 + 246 = 679,
so you have work out what you would have take from 679 to make the overall enthalpy change = -184, (basically work out the difference)
so 679 - 863 = -184, so you know that 2HCl must = 863

however the question asks for just HCl, so you just divide 2HCl = 863/2 = 431.5! :smile:


Thank you guys soooo much!!!

Top!

State environmental concerns over:
HCl (1)
CO (2)
NO (2)

State the uses of methanol (2)

a2 is a progression from AS, therefore naturally its harder..the concepts arent as straight forward as they are at AS and the exams can trip you up. its interesting though

Also about question 5 b on jan 2012 is there a typo?? or just me?

Can produce acid rain, or react with buildings
Is toxic and reduces the amount of oxygen going in your body
Low level ozone, photochemical smog

Petrol additive
For Feedstock

:biggrin:

sorry im just gonna butt in..

- corrosive and toxic
- toxic, reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen
- forms photochemical smog and low level ozone
- petrol additive, making esters, methylated spirits (i think?)


define average bond enthalpy (2)
why would the value for enthalpy change be different when using average bond enthalpy 1)
why is international cooperation important (3)
what are the definitions guaranteed to get maximum marks for:
Enthalpy change of reaction/ formation and combustion?
If anyone can be bothered, try these:

Define average bond Enthalpy (2)
Define standard Enthalpy change of reaction (2)
State standard conditions (1)
State the test and colour change for Alkane and Alkene (3)
How can you make Butylpentanoate, state the conditions and give an equation (5)
How does an increase in concentration increase the rate of reaction? (2)
State two features of E/Z isomerism? (2)

what word? seems fine to me

the average enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous covalent bonds are broken
the enthalpy change that occurs in the molar quantities expressed in a chemical equation under standard conditions
298k and 1atm
alkene - br2 would decolourise it, alkane - it would stay brown
butan-1-ol + pentanoic acid. conc h2so4 + reflux. cba to write the equation lol
more particles per unit volume therefore more successful/frequent collisions
c=c, restricted rotation and each carbon bonded to 2 different atoms/groups of atoms

could you tell me how to do it please?

use the equation actual/theoretical x100

ignore the tonnes, just use grams

work out the moles of each one then divide one by the other.

To be honest if your good at maths you'll find it easy as most people struggle with Unit 5 as it's lots of calculations. It is harder but alot more interesting. If you dropped chemistry what would your subjects be?

What is the best way to revise module 4?:smile:
