Do you think they'll accept orange in place of red, the question wasn't that clear


May 2014 1C had a similar question, and it says orange/pink as the correct answers and accepts red. (Although I thought red was the correct answer rather than an accepted but not technically correct answer because that's what was in my revision guide :/)

When crystals form at the bottom of a glass rod it is at the point of crystallisation. When you put the glass rod in.

MgCl has high melting point
It is a giant ionic structure
So it has a lot of strong ionic bonds caused by electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
So it requires a high energy to break these bonds
Meaning that a high temperature (high thermal energy) is needed to break these bonds and cause the compound to melt.

Red is totally wrong,It is orange.Red is for acid.

Orange at neutralisation not red. Red is acid.

Just read these (after posting the post I just posted), I didn't realise there was a colour for neutral (it would be nice if the CGP revision guides could mention it :angry:???) but hopefully my answer will be accepted like the summer 2014 1c paper.
For the organic product I just added H to every bond as H can only make one bond there was no room for OH so I assumed another non-organic product would be made as it only asked for the organic product

For the first question it asked where did the stduent obtain the sand and it was stage 2, filtration and then in which stage he obtained the salt and i believe it was stage 3 (crystallisation) .
