i got 0.039 as the rate? is that wrong? and what was the units?


That's about right, the answer is a range. The units are of course mol dm^-3 s^-1 as ever.

No it asked for the hydrated salt :smile:

Ahhh absolute killer! Still, I'm sure NiSO4 would have earned 5 or 6 marks, if I calculated some of the water stuff, but didn't use it.

This is what I got actually, I remember the two half equations I made for it :biggrin:


out of the few question I can remember I'm pretty sure that's what I put

We can't tell yet, sorry.


what did the majority write? what about you how did you find it?
for the acids one, what did people say for why they had different ph's?
For the isomers of F and G did the isomers have 3 of the bidentate ligands and they were optical isomers?

Thought the paper was tough in general. Grade boundaries should be lowish but doubt they'll be as low as Jan 13 (70 for an A)

I actually got the last question although I basically guessed parts of it!

Messed up the photosynthesis question, the rates question, the changes of concentration (tick box) question, the ferrous ion question. Hoping I've done enough for the A* however.

I didn't have trouble with the paper, but I do think it was harder than usual.

I wrote the element in.

I got 0.00414 recon thats correct?

do you think it was harder than jan 2013?

One was a strong acid, one was weak.

Yes, 3 bidentate ligands, forming mirror images.

I said it would stay the same. The whole point of the half life of a first order reactant is that it is constant regardless of concentration.


ugh I actually thought that but no.. I listen to my idiotic exam head voice and put that it increases :mad:

nope it was oxygen I think


I said oxygen...

No, delta H is the energy required for the reaction, not G.


But delta H is just the heat energy.. not taking into account disorder.

That's about what I got - I think it's right :tongue:

Personally, yes, I didn't find jan 2013 that hard :dontknow:

About 90




Why did your quote say that was me? I'm confused.


Not sure I just clicked the quote button, I shall try and change it.

thats all you had to put? it was 5 marks so I thought 3 for the calculation and 2 for explaining or something

Thank goodness for that!

yea jan 2013 didn't have loads of little dodgy questions, only the last one and the odd couple inbetween. hoping grade boundaries arent higher than januarys!

I said HCl is a strong acid and dissociates fully, whereas HCOOH is a weak acid and only partially dissociates, so HCl has a higher [H3O+] and therefore a lower pH
Then I worked out the pH values. Something like that, anyway :smile:

But that only takes into account heat energy..
tried to attach a web page but it didn't like it - maybe it'll come up later once moderators have finished with it but google free energy and metabolic reactions
