It was pretty easy, the grade boundaries will be really high:frown:
makes me worry about:
a) the grade boundaries
and b) how hard C2 and C3 are going to be to make up for C1 :redface:

I think we can all conclude it was better than the Biology
Although the exam may have seemed 'easy' they wouldn't have raised the grade boundaries THAT high - but saying that, this is AQA we're talking about. Fingers crossed the physics is this good
Grade boundaries won't be that high, last year C1 was even easier than today, and it was 50. I'm thinking 52?
Did anyone get for balancing equations
2FeO3+ 3C= 2fe2+ 3CO2?
What was the anwer for fermentation question, 6 marker, increase accuracy question and the reaction for carbonates

i did but don't know if its right
I wrote soot and incomplete combustion, did it have to be particulates?
or unburnt hydrocarbons, soot should be fine although a little vague; I suppose it was question 2 tbf

No it was 2Fe2O3 + 3C = 4Fe + 3CO2

Piss easy
It was actually really good but the grade boundaries are going to be high.
What did people put for the distillation question? I'm not sure
What was the answer to the balancing equations question?
