Guys was one of the reaction mechanisms we had to draw Electrophilic Addition? With HCl or something

Posted from TSR Mobile


It was nucleophilic substitution l think?
Isn't alkene + hydrogen halide Electrophilic addition?

Posted from TSR Mobile
I got nucelophilic substitution too
But it was like ethene and HCl???

I was on about the alcohol with Hcl which was nucleophilic substitution

I got nucleophilic substitution too but now I can hardly remember the question, wasn't the halide substituting for the OH group that came of ?

Where has the Br come from? The question was about irradiated chlorine and methane to produce CCl4 or something..


sorry i meant HCl :colondollar:

Been revising for F334 haha

Yeah they'd accept both


Im just scared its going to be one of those really fussy OCR things that they do like not accepting peptide for amide :/

I think the exam asked to add H-Cl to Methanol, so it would have been nucleophillic substitution as the H-Cl has a permanent negative dipole which will attack the positive carbon in the methanol

But what you said about the alkene and halogenoalkane is correct :smile:

how many marks was that?

I think it was 3 marks so i wouldnt worry about it :smile: I found the paper quite hard overall due to the numerous GCSE questions that i hadn't done for 2 years... How'd you find it overall?

i thought it was a halogenoalkane undergoing n.sub with OH-?
i feel like ive missed so many marks
i dont even remember if i underlined nucleophilic and substitution - like i remembering choosing them in my head but i dont remember underlining them...
5 marks gone then

Yeah but I sincerely doubt this will be one of those things, the only reason why peptide isn't accepted is because we're not taught peptide in chemistry and the technical, chemistry name is amide. Since it's just quoting stuff from an article I think they'll be fine about it.

what did you put about infradred spectrum and how co2 can be identified?


You had to mention that each compound have a unique fingerprint region and looking at the bond absorption if C-O is present then it tells you there is co2

What did people get for the difference in density question???


I said that Ice is less dense because when water freezes bonds get closer together leaving empty spaces so that the density of water decreases or something along those lines and you also had to talk about the formation of hydrogen bonding

I wrote about absoprotion in due to c=o bond and each bond abosrbs a specific frequency of IR .... something like that

I was going to talk about the FP region but a question was asked about it later.

few I got a little worried there, especially by the conservation of mass, How could you end up with less mass then what you started with?

You didn't start with it and mass is also lost as energy I got 3. Something as well

I don't think it was an Alkene input Nucleophilic sub cause I remember it had an alcohol attached to it and at the end you got methane chloride and water

Yeah something like that but just so I don't loose any mark I just mentioned it
