Good luck to everyone for tomorrow! I, myself, am petrified. Chemistry isn't my most favorite subject. :-/


Just relax! Clear your mind of all negative thoughts and sit down with a positive mindset of I can do it! It will make all the difference and you will fly through the exam! Just make sure you cover everything!! Good luck x

Doesnt everyone whos doing the paper do it all at the same time?


Nope! Every centre has their own timing. Timezones matter too, mate.

What time will your exams be? and is it possible if you guys tell us what came for the paper? as well as for the 6 marks


Mine is first thing in the morning. No one will, or I hope not, do that. How do you know edexcel aren't moderating these forums? :s
Problems with Polymers and maybe something to do with extracting metals? hmm

One example is that to produce hydrogen you still need to use fossil fuels to do so, so it can be expensive. Also not all vehicles can use hydrogen like most can use petrol, so it may cost more to produce hydrogen-using cars

would you get marks for saying its carbon neutral then; most textbooks mention it...?

one disadvantage is that hydrogen is hard to store and transport, due to it having to be contained at high pressures, whereas petrol is a liquid and can easily be stored and transported

is that because it's a gas?? or due to hydrogen being very explosive??

Hydrogen is not a readily available fuel as you must either react steam with a non-renewable energy resource, or use electrolysis to obtain it. Once you have got it, that is even more problematic; as it is a gas, it must be compressed and chilled before being stored, and actually may explode because it's highly flammable.
Also, the spec mentions "5.14 Demonstrate an understanding that the Earth’s temperature varies and that human activity may influence this" would this be due to combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation??
