Yes thats exactly what i put. Is it right?

Yeah I put something similar too :smile: is it me or for this paper was there not enough space to write answers? I used 2 pages of an additional answer booklet :/ but I have large handwriting anyway :biggrin:

What was the reagent for D because I didn't think one of them formed a white precipitate and I can check now from a past paper,it was barium chloride wasn't it? Barium chloride (the reagent) and hydrochloric acid don't form a white precipitate I don't think.. :confused:

Apart from that your points seem solid :smile:C seems a deff inate similarity so that's 2 marks I'm guessing if their was a good reason?


Silver nitrate and barium chloride I think.

I had the pairs the other way around because it said which tests produce the SAME RESULT for BOTH acids: test C produced a white precipitate in HCl but nothing in H2SO4 whereas test D produced nothing in HCl but a white precipitate in H2SO4, therefore the results of those two tests are different for each acid. Tests A and B were similar because their phs would both show they were acidic, and they would both react with magnesium in the same way (salt + hydrogen with fizzing)

I see your point, but pH metres show a specific pH to about three d.ps hence they'd vary. Similarly they'd react at different rates - all showing something different. Then again, you could say that they both show hydrogen gas.

I put AB CD

A was similar because they were both acidic and had low pH's.
B was similar because they both produced hydrogen gas (I think I put hydrogen gas anyway..)
C was dissimilar because it only made a precipitate with one of the acids and not the other, same goes for D.

Duck(f). I was kinda maybe sorta hoping to get 50+ and you've ruined that -_- I now believe C is wrong as their is no way they both produce white precipitate :frown:

I seemed to take barium nitrate and silver nitrate as the same thing in the exam :colondollar:

I'm just thinking - these ABCD questions were separated into three marks each, totalling six marks. Do you think that you could get I don't know, C and D wrong but A and B right but for different reasons since the marks have been separated for the full question?

For example:

A and B are similar: A shows different pHs, B shows different rates
C and D aren't similar: Both produce white precipitates

Despite C and D being wrong I think, don't you think they could give you 3/6 for A and B being right?

I aim to please :biggrin:

That's just my way of looking at it, but I know there are tonnes of different theories circulating on this thread. Plus, 50+ is a grand target to set :tongue:

I think because it was a 6 marker in total, they'd be allot of exceptions like "award mark if incorrect answer but valid justification" kinda like error varied forward

Yes, exactly. Maybe there is hope now!

Haha :lol:

Your way seems right :wink: it went better than my mock in terms of how I felt after and I got in the 50s for that :tongue: plus my teacher doesn't really like me for chem so it's kind of to prove to her something, I also am starting to like chemistry and it's probs my favourite science-if those even exist :tongue:
How's everyone feeling for physics?

Much easier content is less and literally follows on from p123 and c456 kinda

For p4 and 6 I agree but I gotta do some work on 5, I actually hate circuits! You wired for maths then? :wink:

Hmm not too bad but physics is my worst science, I'm just hoping the exam is ok and not horrific! :smile: Good luck everyone!! :smile:

I never got 50s on mocks :colondollar: I never revised for them but still..

Chem is my favourite too, but I'm not sure why. I guess it just feels the most sciencey out them all. I don't like physics so revising for the 456 is hard..

Ah, yeah, same! But I find some parts really cool so have to still try at it :unimpressed: you started revising?

I always revisited night before for mocks :tongue: I don't rally see the point in trying any more than that as your grade isnt really important but I still do that little bit of revision to make sure I understand everything :smile: I think that's why I felt able to start chem revision the day before this time as well for the real thing :biggrin:

True dat. I'm scared of the 456 as the 123 didn't feel good so I gotta make sure this is better!

Yep 😎 strongest subject, the conductor and the magnetic field crap is horrible :frown:

Oooh badass revising the night before the exam :wink:

I just don't understand like..anything in P456 especially P5 omg
I hate Fleming
And I feel like bein able to calculate the output voltage from a transformer is something I shall treasure in life because transformers are life. THANK **** FOR P5 do not know what I would do without it. Truly appreciate its existence
