I don’t think you had to mention the flame test. It wanted to know the white solid, doing the flame test wouldn’t help you with that one, no? Also, what did you put for the takeaway box 4 marker

I found that so difficult and everyone was saying it was light like why the **** was there nothing on crude oil or water???? So much random C5 content. also wasn’t the 6 mark question on halide tests and the carbonate tests?? idk why people were saying they wrote about flame tests. im so confused bro

I wrote about the flame test to differentiate form lithium bromide and sodium bromide x also did you have to melt the solid first?

Idk if you had to but I did write ABT melting the solid with a Bunsen burner I think to make it easier to mix the solution thingies. Also anyone remember answers they got for calculations?? I think I got 4.35 and 4.25 for two of the q's and two thousand something on the last one? Also got 0.20 moles I think...and for the element I got Mo and also wrote ABT umm polyester I think???

What did you guys put for that nylon one 😭 😭 I wrote that it was in-between and to use tweezers
