Sorry, I can't help you with ISA


Its from my CGP revision guide; shall I take a pic?

Mol=conc/vol

Conc is 0.1 and volume is X. Put X in dm3 by dividing by 1000.

Mol=0.1/(X in dm3)

That is moles of NaOH. Since it's 1:1 ratio the moles of NaOH equals moles HCl.

n = cV not c/V

Think in units:
If moldm^-3/dm^3 was the case the ending unit would be moldm^-6 which is ridiculous.

edit: oops didn't know you're year 13 x.x sorreh
take this as a clarification for the original poster

Don't start on my *****, probs was just a typing error

Hi does anyone know the group 2 compound which is insoluble in water and gives of co2 and White sold when reacted with sulfuric acid?

lol didn't notice
anyways for the benefit of the person who was asking :P

My average titre if I was reckon was 30.9 would the calc be.. 0.1 / 0.0309? which is 3.09x10^-3?

Wow I must have been half asleep when I wrote that! You're dead right, it's mol = conc x vol not conc/vol! mol = mass/mr

haha, we all make mistakes :colondollar:

Sorry Uwais, so yeah mol = conc x vol

conc = 0.01
vol = X

mol = 0.01 x X in dm-3

Never said you were
hi guys I've had this nagging problem in chem for a while
say in the empa it asks you to work out a given value
say it comes to 109.89088987
`i round that to 3sf to get 110

Then in part(ii) it asks me hence to work out say percentage error for 100 the true value
Do i sub in my rounded answer of 110 or my accurate answer of 109.89088987 to get my answer for this part (ii) answer
thanks this has been annoying me for ages becos using my rounded answer could introduce rounding errors

Keep your value in calculator and use it calculate the percentage error, then round the final to 3 sf (or whatever asked)

ok thanks , but when showing your working do you write down the said value on the calculator becos technically the mark scheme says must use answer from part (i) and strictly speaking your 3sf answer was your final answer.

Will the examiner realise that when you write the exact answer in working it is the same as your answer for the previous part just not rounded?

Also do you do aqa thanks

I do Edexcel
In my physics practical I wrote a sidenote that unrounded value was used just to make sure (it takes less than 5sec and not much space so why not)
I'm not sure the official view on this but my chem teachers tell me to write your rounded value on paper but use the calculator value
Need confirmation though, not 100% sure

Anyone doing the empa?
How are you preparing for task 3? I find it so hard!
Does this calculation look right?
