How did you I got 4

Subtract final mass from mass of crucible to get mass of anhydrous sodium sulfate
Subtract final mass from initial to get mass of water evaporated
Do mass/Mr for both to find moles of each
put it in a ratio of water:sodium sulfate (I think it was 0.25:0.025) and divide by the smallest number
you will get a ratio of 10:1 so x = 10

Did you guys get around -3594kJ/mol for the ΔH 5 marker?

Does anyone else think the grade boundaries could be 90% + this year? That paper was not very difficult.

everyone in my school said it was difficult so boundaries will remain low. it was somewhat smooth

I didn't round it, just stored it in my calc and got -3593.33. Most people in my school got that as well... Doubt they will mark down for rounding early tho

No but most people go that I got 4. What was the mass of the water

I think it was 4.5 because of 8.05-3.55 thus water was 4.5 and then divide it by mr to get 0.25 and the 0.25 divide by 0.025 to get 10 moles with it basically being a 1:10 ratio

moles for sodium part was 0.025 and moles for water were 0.25 so (1:10)
