Sodium burns with a yellow flame
Magnesium burns with a bright white flame
Sulfur burns with a blue flame
Phosphorus burns with a white flame

I can't think of any others though
Guys how would you do question 4biv and 4c??? and 5bii and 5cii???
i have no ideaaa :frown:

The bidentate ligand H2NCH2CH2NH2


eg

[Cu(H2O)6]2+ + 3H2NCH2CH2NH2 --> [Cu(H2NCH2CH2NH2)3]2+ + 6H2O


3+ ions one is a strange one, eg

2[Al(H2O)6]3+ +3H2NCH2CH2NH2 --> 2[Al(H2O)3(OH)3]+ + 3[H3NCH2CH2NH3]2+

They asked this back in 2012

Na- Yellow flame
Mg to Phosphorous- White flame and White fumes
Sulphur- Blue flame and choking gas

For the bits highlighted in bold, there are other acceptable answers.

January 2010 paper. Question 3c.
http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-CHEM5-W-QP-JAN10.PDF
The answer is:
Pt|H2(g)|OH(aq),H2O(l)||O2(g)|H2O(l),OH(aq)|Pt
but i dont understand why the OH and H2O are seperated with commas instead of lines, because they are different phases, arent they?

Aqueous isn't really a phase of its own - its still liquid

It doesn't matter if we put lines instead of commas does it? Our teacher just told us to put lines as they still accept it on the mark scheme.

I put lines if they change state, comma if they are the same state.

Well on page 189 it explains why aluminum oxide has extra covalent bonding. But then on page 190 it shows that magnesium oxide has the highest melting point.


yes, the extra covalent bonding is what actually makes it have the higher melting point...cause theyres stronger bonds... or something like that haha

I've seen on mark schemes that they accept commas instead of lines, vice versa. So it doesn't matter

Suggest why the electron affinity of chlorine is an exothermic change?
Does anyone know how to answer this?

Attraction between the +ve nucleus and the -ve electron me thinks

I think emf would increase but can't really explain it very well..basically the eqm will shift to the right to oppose the change. Is the answer increase?

What would you guys give as a reason why TM are coloured? I just want a standard answer. Say for example if it was a 2 mark question.
Hi
Could anyone help me with this question - http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-CHEM5-QP-JUN12.PDF, question 2B.
The answer is 0.098kJ K-1 mol-1 and -∆S/∆S but I don't understand why and how.
