Could someone please help me with this question 3c(ii) on the june 2012 paper ? I don't understand how they have calculated the values for the concentrations ?
Any help would be great !


Well, the salt NaOH (at 0.05 conc) completely reacts with some of the butanoic acid and then completely dissociates. So, the concentration of the salt formed will also be 0.05. Take this 0.05 from 0.250 because obviously that much acid has been used up in the salt reaction.

So, now you have (Ka x 0.200) / 0.05 which = conc of H+. Then minus log that and you get 4.218... and the pH is then 4.22. Hope this helps :smile:
Hi can anyone help me with question 7.a)i) on the Jan 2012 paper.
I don't get why they divide 2.46x10^-5 by 4? and not 2 I don't understand what molar ratios they are using. Thanks.

There's a chuck in the spec, couple of equations, advantages/disadvantages

Properties of transition metals? Is there 4

Yeah for a hydrogen fuel cell which is h2 + 1/2o2---> h20... This is a methanol fuel cell which I haven't come across before

Posted from TSR Mobile


Yes. Form complex ions, coloured compounds, used as catalysts, variable oxidation states.
Stressing over this exam way too much

I think the really hard one;

would it be 0.0285 moldm-3?

can anyone have a go to check for me?


got 0.0855 :confused::s-smilie:

So:
1: 2H+ + CaCO3 -> Ca2+ + CO2 + H2O
2: 2H+ + CO32- -> CO2 + H2O
3: 2H+ + MgO -> Mg2+ + H2O
4: 2H+ + 2OH- -> H2O

Iz right?


Looks good to me :smile:

Yes it definately does ! Thankyou !

Ohh. I think there's a bit in the spec about vehicles using hydrogen gas/hydrogen rich fuels ie methanol. Don't think there's much to know though

(null)wow thanks for taking the time to explain this to me, it makes sense now after all this time

Isnt h+/Ka =ha/a?

That's what the mark scheme says in June 2011 on that magic tang question...


I have seen it like that though, i dont know what is the real one

On the pH of the blood question on june 2012 I have seen it like Ka/H+ = A-/HA

They both are. Depends what ratio you want to find

For reaction of transition metals to form precipitates are they supposed to be in square brackets, a mark scheme I saw didn't show them in square brackets and in the allow column it only had an equation with the reactant in a square bracket ?

Posted from TSR Mobile
For the standard hydrogen half cell do we have to draw the H2 gas in the glass tube as well?

That is the ratio! If that comes out as ½ the ratio is 1:2 - however you forgot a Hydrogen (CH3CHOHCOO- on top)
