Hi guys, Just wondering. For OCR F321, does OCR have a preference for continuous prose in the longer 5/6 mark questions (such as the periodic trends stuff) or are bullet point answers fine? Don't want to lose marks by not writing in the correct style but I prefer bullet points because I find them quicker to write out.
Hi could someone explain how you do this please? Thank you :smile:

What exam board? Never seen this type of Q before.

1ppm=1*10^-6
33ppm=33*10^-6 multiply this by 1000g (1kg)

It's similar to percentage. If you were told 20% of a kilogram of a mixture is X, to get x you would multiply a kilogram by 0.2
Percentage is 10^-2
Ppm is 10^-6 that's the only difference

Bullet points are fine. Just make sure they are sentences.
Example:
There are a lot of van der waals forces.
More energy will be required to break these van der waals forces.
So 'inserthere' will have a higher boiling point.

Instead of
van der waals forces=more energy, so high BP.

Common sense really :smile:.
Can some tell me what the equation is to work out ISOTOPIC ABUNDANCE ?????

Thanks, Yeah it's not really hard material to understand. You just gotta learn the facts that explain the properties and be able include them them in the answers.

Cheers.

Well the equation to calculate relative atomic mass is this
And you can substitute values in to if you are given info and you can do the maths to find unknown

Not necessarily over a 100 tho :smile:

If percentage abundance given then it is

use this formula so you don't have to think about it

ppm= mass of solute/solution (in grams) x1000,000

well yes, however if relative abundance y'know what to do :smile:

Hi this is correct if the abundance is a percentage divide by 100 but if it's not a percentage divide by the total abundance

Well I meant percentage as you can see from the triple % :tongue:

Thanks, that's what I did :biggrin:

Enthalpy of combustion is reactants - products. I remember it as crp for combustion and fpr for formation. Crp is combustion reactants - products btw.

Enthalpy change of combustion = {DeltaH products} - {DeltaH reactants}
How do you know if something has dipole dipole intermolecular forces? Is it when there's a large electronegativity difference

If the molecule is polar.
That is when there's an electronegativity difference and when the centres of positive charge and negative charge do not coincide.

I guess she has mistaken it with other question
Admittedly the multiple choice is hard to mark because they are so packed :lol:

LOOL whoops, yeah the answer is D.. nevertheless, thanks for the informative facts on IR spec! :biggrin:

is dipole dipole interactions the same as permanent dipole interactions? because I know that ketones have permanent dipole interactions and CH3Cl, but the overall ketone molecule is not polar
