Yes, I got the ICl3 right, i posted above.

For the ionic equation, i wrote this:

H2SO4 + 6H+ + 6e- --> 4H2O + S

---

Prep of slaked lime (Ca(OH2) from CaCO3 (Two stages)

I wrote, CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2 and CaO + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 and high temp condition etc.


damn, that seems right to me. So bad, that mine had nothing to do with that lol. I think you got it right :smile:

I would say an A is 55 or 56, it was a tough paper

Well I don't think it will go as low as 55.

Might be around 58-60.

Read through and remember ALL the tests for different functional groups. I have some notes on them. They are really easy and broken down. Do you want them? I tried attaching it here but its too large.

Do you mind sending me the notes you've made for unit 3? I'm also struggling with it and it's tomorrow.
