Maybe, I did it as part of Further Additional Science, so possibly different papers.

If not, one mark wont hurt.


Yeah, I did normal Chem so that's probably why.

In the spec it does say to improve water taste/quality however it is a suggest question so they'll likely accept both.

Hmm, as far as I'm concerned, it prevents the growth of bacteria and also kills them. Improving taste is subject to opinion, so probably not...

I put it removes chemicals easily
More reactive as u go down..bigger atom more shielding less force from nucleus and electron can b lost easier

The question where you had to say whether he was right or wrong?

I think it was both...because it said substance X turned blue - therefore he was wrong because blue = copper...

And then the second test, I didn't answer for because I didn't understand it, but all my friends who did said that the second test was correct...

Ohhh, AQA were nasty for C3 :frown:

I think that was the question asking how you would prove Barium Chloride contained Chloride Ions.

The answer being add dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate solution and if Chloride Ions are present a white precipitate is produced.

Hopefully you'd get a mark for stating what is used to test for the ions, only a mark lost :smile:

The b's are wayyy too high. Last year in c2 it was 29 to get a B!

But isn't the rule that if the metal formed at the cathode is more reactive than, then hydrogen is formed? And zinc is more reactive than hydrogen so hydrogen would be formed?


That's true for an (aq) solution, but not an (l) as there is not water.
