it goes down x


Thank you, I stress a lot over each answer you see x
Anyone reckon what the grade boundaries might be?
What did you guys get for the first 6 mark question about diamond and ionic ?

53 A* ?

I stated it exactly how it was in the revision guide - 1/1840. I did put in brackets underneath my answer 'negligible' as well though.


Yeah I said negligible too. My revision guide says 1/1836 so we must have different ones

Easy???? :0


Yeah

very true, I just didn't realise my experiment was legit hahaha

yep you could just make a few adjustments to this and it would be fine, this was on a chemistry past paper and i forgot to say light the magnesium which im annoyed about as i nearly wrote it :angry:

Is a period going down or across and what do you reckon it is for a C grade?


the grade boundaries wouldbe 24-27 for a C

I didn't say that either dw!! At least the rest of the paper made up for it

yeah you could loose 6 marks and still get A* doesn't matter

Wow thats not to bad tbh

Was that question about the percentage mass of nitrogen to do with the formula: NH4NO3?
Original post by lopa69
What was the question everyone got 35% as the answer? I got 30% because i must have misread it, also what was the question to do with finding 'how many tonnes can fill 500 tonnes' something like that.

It was 126
What did you guys write for thw concentration question?
Original post by caitlinford3
0.7 - 0.42 to get 0.28 (mass of oxygen)

0.28 / 16 = 0.0175 (O)
0.42 / 24 = 0.0175 (Mg)
Then divide each by the smallest (but since they're the same just divide by themselves)
0.0175 / 0.0175 = 1 (O)
0.0175 / 0.0175 = 1 (Mg)
Ratio is therefore 1:1
So it's therefore MgO


How many marks out of 6 could doing this get you?

Yeahhh! lol just terrified for the 3's now
Original post by caitlinford3
Don't think so. Text book example is MgO

This is just what we've been taught, to balance equations for empirical formula.

Noooo i only wrote 126 instead if 126.3 😭😭😭

It was 35%
Working out:
2×14=28
28÷80=0.35×100=35%

For the 500 tonnes one I put down 144 because I rounded too early! All I wanted was an A* in Science and that's proving to be impossible...:frown:

greater concentration means more particles are in the same volume therefore more frequent collisions and greater rate of reaction

I said that yayayay thank you for answering
