AQA AS Chemistry Paper 1 & Paper 2 2018 Predictions?

I've got a question for everyone who does A-Level Chemistry. Can you guys predict what's possibly going to come up this year's AQA AS Chemistry Paper 1 & Paper 2 2018.

I think like bonding, amount of substances, and half equations would come up as they do come up for every paper that was released.

I think Mass spectrometry will definetly come up
maybe the titration practical as well
In almost every paper, there is a titration calculation question. So I expect one will make an appearance! They are usually 3/4 markers as well which is pretty decent :smile:
No one has really been part of these discussions this year

Good luck on the exam

How’d you guys find the paper? I thought it was really hard with only a few decent questions ☹️

It was awful :frown: could only do like 3 of the questions and nothing we had actually learnt this year was even on it

Do you remember what you put for the graph on what time it had reached equilibrium?
Paper 1 is generally always way harder than paper 2 so don’t worry too much.

Oh I put 2 minutes (it said to round to the nearest minute) and I said that's because that's where both curves cross ?? Did you get anything like that

Crap I put 1.9 I forgot to round it ☹️ For the reason I put because that is where both the concentrations are the same so I don’t think I would get the mark

I thought the paper went better than expected... both me and my fried got 3 minutes
I put 3 because that’s when both conc stopped changing??
Can someone make an unofficial markscheme please and I got 3 minutes because that’s when the concentration was constant and that’s a factor of dynamic equilibrium. For the crucible one I got x is 2.89

Ahhh that's so annoying :/ Don't worry you might still be able to get a mark for your explanation i'm pretty sure that's right

ohh that makes sense omg I got that wrong too wow. It didn't say equilibrium in the question so I didn't think of that straight away

I found it dreadful. Not only was the maths bad, but it seemed like I was super pressed for time unlike other past papers I have done. I will be lucky if I even manage an E at this point.
