AQA CHEM5 A2 Chemistry - 19th June 2013

So what ums does everyone need for their target grade?

Hi guys!

Does anyone know the colour of [Cr(H₂0)₆]³⁺?

WHAT there's another Chem5 thread?!

How're you all feeling about the content? We've covered everything now! I love transition metals

I didnt know there was a different one...?? :L. I dislike most of U5 because it seems more like a memory game then actual chemistry. We've done everything but electrochemical cells

Yeah was started ages ago http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2231909 just didn't have a specific title!

Ah true; I think doing Biology has made me like memorising equations etc as it means you can get away with not fully understanding some theory unlike in Chem4 with the mechanisms I have to do both exams in June :/

I really like the calculations in this unit - once you've got your head around them I'm finding them really straightforward! Need to go back over entropy/gibbs and Born harber cycles though as we did it AGES ago (back in September :L)

Just need 69 UMS on unit 5 for an A overall but need 112 UMS for an A*. Don't know whether to settle for an A and concentrate on other subjects or go for the A* :/

Ugh don't even get me started on my biology rant :L I waaaaay preferred U4 and apparently that's really abnormal? Both my teachers are like.. no-one ever says that :L



I'm in a similar position, need 73 for an A and 112 for an A* (providing I completely ace the ISA... :L) It's worth going for the A* if you think you can do it

Aha, do you do AQA? Haha really?! I prefer unit 5 so far! I think unit 5 is easier to learn, but when it comes to applying it to the exam, I don't know which will be easier!

For biology we're with OCR -.-'

And ugh no, I dislike the learning stuff and regurgitating it element of U5

Ah god, I've heard they're awful. I feel your pain being AQA, especially with the beast that was BIOL4!

Fair enough, I am a fan of inorganic, so that helps me get through it

The OCR exam for bio that I sat in Jan (F215) had a ridiculous amount of content ... just awful. And fair play, I much prefer organic stuff and I loved acids, bases and buffers... oh those were the days :L

Ah hope you got what you needed! I was just relieved that I don't have to resit BIOL4

I love acids and bases and equilibria!

Yeah I did pretty well (idk how...) and mhhhm get those kinetics going eh? :L

Just need 69 UMS on unit 5 for an A overall but need 112 UMS for an A*. Don't know whether to settle for an A and concentrate on other subjects or go for the A* :/

ruby red

hey its not red.

its green . when u ad OH- ions it turns to a green solution/violet solution
