Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry Paper 2 Topics 15th June 2016
Watch
Announcements
Well, here are some "MUST DO" topics for Paper 2.
ALL Electrolysis topics including
Definition
What an electric current is
Electrolyte and non-electrolyte expts.
molten (probably only if involving moles, coulombs and Faradays)
Aluminium (cryolite, electrode replacement)
Aqueous (concentrating on NaCl - diaphragm cell), CuSO4 and H2SO4.
Tests for all products and observations in all cells
Ionic half equations
Blast furnace
Raw materials (not carbon)
Know all 5 reactions in detail
Obviously uses of aluminium and iron, and why different methods used for their extraction.
Crude Oil
Process of Separation in detail
Fraction order, names, uses, properties
Cracking
Polymers (prep, differences,
Four methods of making salts
Anything related to Environment (acid rain, biodegradability, climate change)
More to be added. Your suggestions and comments are welcomed

I looked up the January 2016 papers too and made a list of all the topics that haven't come up in either Paper 1 or Jan. 2016. I did the same for yesterday's Biology and got most of my predictions correct...
Percentage yield calculation
Diamond and Graphite structure
Bond energy calculations
Haber process
Contact process
Electrolysis of aluminium
Electrolysis of brine in a diaphragm cell
Condensation polymerisation
Uses of polymers
Group 1 elements - explaining their relative reactivities
Environmental stuff
Percentage yield calculation
Diamond and Graphite structure
Bond energy calculations
Haber process
Contact process
Electrolysis of aluminium
Electrolysis of brine in a diaphragm cell
Condensation polymerisation

Yeah, that all could come up. I'm not sure they'd be influenced that much by the biology paper, but I doubt we'll get a long question on the environment - probably just a few marks' worth.

Electrolysis, crude oil, extraction of iron, ethanol, contact and haber process i think should be first in the revision schedule. They are very likely to come up and between those topics, I reckon about 3/4 of the marks are covered. Chemistry isn't too hard, so I wouold just revise it all

So what would electrolyte/ non-electrolyte experiments be?

or you can use a conductivity probe and put that in what you're testing (if you get a reading of 0 then it's a non-eletrolyte)

either you can set up a circuit with a bulb or something and put the electrodes in the solution you're testing (if the bulb lights up it's an electrolyte)

will there be any calculations like electrolysis or energy or titrations?

Edexcel also like volume calculations including 24,000 cm^3 in paper 2.
Electrolysis must be top of the list for revision, including the products (and how and where they are produced) half-equations, tests and uses for the products. Also when and why Hydrogen is formed at the cathode in preference to a metal.

Generally, how do you know when to use either 24dm^3 or 24000 in volume/mole calculations. EG when calculating the moles of chlorine gas in an electrolysis question?

What grade mark do you predict in this paper?
2C is important as hell
it boosts ur grade
