National 5 Chemistry 2016/17

Who else is doing National 5 Chemistry this year? I haven't seen any threads for any National 5 subjects for this year (I'll also be making ones for other subjects) Hopefully this thread will give us somewhere to ask each other questions and discuss the course, prelims and exam etc. :smile:

I finished my assignment a couple of weeks ago and we're half way through Unit 3, which is really far ahead compared to my other subjects!

How did it go?

Our school is now midway through Unit 3 (finished polymers), and just got Nuclear Chemistry and Chemical Analysis left, but we haven't started the assignment yet. How's everyone finding it in comparison to the other sciences?

I've never been taught that?
It's not in the syllabus anyway. A question might come up asking about ethanol production but mainly in the form of a dis/advantage question rather than knowledge of the process.

All you need to know is that ethanol for use in alcoholic drinks is produced by yeast fermentation, and synthetic ethanol for use as solvents is made by reacting Ethene with steam and a catalyst of phosphoric acid (ethene hydration) ^ ^

Can someone please tell me how to do this question?

Chemistry isn't one of my strong subjects, so expect a few questions from me on here over the next couple of days. :smile:
