I know everyone here has found the paper fairly easy. I think it was but I actually made so many stupid mistakes and I know I've just thrown away marks in this paper. Like the difference in boiling points between PH3 and NH3 I blanked on forgot about H bonds and that's just simple chemistry. I don't think I'll get more than a B on this paper and I need an A for med school. How well have I got to do on the next 2 and do you think it'll be hard for me to get an A if I get a B in one paper?

Don't worry, Organic is meant to be the easiest paper because if you know all the reactions and reagents then you have nothing to worry. Physical Chemistry requires more applying than organic. My teacher said grade boundary for physical chemistry is low because it is hard. Stay positive.

Why is it -110 for the enthalpy formation one and not +110?

When you used the Hess cycle did you take into account the fact that you do opposite of the sign for the reactants so you have to flip the sign. Sorry if thats a bad explanation

ugh i forgot to do that. Also what was the acid and conjugate base answer with the two weak acids?

I think i put acid base base acid, not sure though

Guys. Can we just establish that many people on TSR are A* grade students. Like the top 5% of performing students. Don't feel disheartened if everyone else says its easy, because most people are med students..or people who are very clever. Chemistry IS hard. One of the hardest A levels to be honest. Don't feel bad. Please. Life ain't about Kp haha

I wasn't sure if I should put MnO4- or Mn as Mn is the one that would accept/give (can't remember the qu) would I get it wrong for putting Mn instead of MnO4-?

I'm afraid yes probably, because they are different.

it rearranged to that. and the other values in the table were negative

Haha- we're not pretentious- I only commented because I hated all the ********s mocking people who got a different answer to them when everyone's trying to explain why the true answer is 4.5002. Tbf my comment did come across badly :')

Does anyone have any tips for revising for monday's exam?

I had been using the old papers to revise and doing well but the new style questions threw me. I'd be grateful for any advice to try and salvage my grade
