How did everyone find it overall?

Very average. I think the grade boundaries might go up to like June 2012 to around 80 for an A.

for the funct group i wrote alkene
and the one after that i wrote phenol!!


It said in that question not to write down the hydroxyl group, so it's not phenol, but ether :smile:

Yea, I think so too. I sat the June and I found this one easier

I wrote ester instead of ether, damn.
I thought it was alright, how bout everyone else?

I know of one mark I've dropped (first question I had 2 Br on the molecule not 4!)

Did everyone remember to convert 200kg to 200000g? :tongue:

Wholly agree. The pre-release questions in this paper were more straight forward I feel in comparison to last year.

2 marks :smile:


wait i probably didn't put diene i might have remebered it wrongly but if you draw out 2,6 di methyl oct5 ene is that also the same as 2ethyl 6 methyl hept 2 ene ? can someone confirm this by drawing it out now????

I thought the exam went well, now I'm not too sure. unofficial mark scheme anyone?
Q 1. Was 3,7-dimethyloct-3-ene

Yah, I thought it was a really nice paper!

And yeah, but I nearly got caught out by the mole ratio! If I'm correct, this was the way to do it:

200kg= 200,000g

Mr of NaCl= 58.5

No. of moles in NaCl= 200000/58.5

2 moles of NaCl is required to produce one mole of chlorine, so (200000/58.5)/2.

Then 24dm3 multiplied by (200000/58.5)/2. Which should give an answer of around 41,000 to 3.sf.

What did people put for that question about the relationship between global warming and the concentration in the trophosphere etc? Cant remember it exactly..

Didn't we have to work out the Mr of 2NaCl, apart from that I did the same steps

It didn't ask for sig fig so I put 41025dm^3

Seems right to me though!

There's a correlation between higher levels of greenhouse gases and increasing temp. It came up in one of the past papers

No just NaCl, the 2:1 ratio of NaCl to Cl2 meant you had to half the moles of NaCl (not multiply the Mr by 2).

if this is wrong can someone tell me why it is wrong?
I put the same as you did, don't worry I'm pretty sure the mark scheme will accept both - in past papers they always do :smile:

I did 2 NaCl them divided the no. of moles by 2 :/

might lose 1 mark for accuracy?
