Regarding the E(cell) values, how do we know if a reaction can occur or not? For example: mj02, q4(c): (i)no reaction occurs, well how can we decide so? and (ii) a reaction occurs. Is there like a 'least value of an E(cell) of a reaction to occur'?. And also, can someone please explain which value we subtract from which in calculating this E(cell) value? I notice sometimes in every paper its different and I have found it really confusing.
Thanks in advance and I really appreciate the help.

Thanks for trying to help. Well I just posted an example: May June 2002 Paper 4 Q4 (c), but as I wrote I found the topic a bit confusing.

Ok I have another question regarding the E(cell) topic.
In October November 2005 Paper 4 Question 3 (c) (i): I got the H2O2 part, but not the KI. How do we know which to use: the K+ or I- half equation? This may be silly, but I am a bit confused :S
Thanx in  adv

guys can anyone explain why whether fluorinated compounds are hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
cuz i was going through the application booklet...and i saw in oil slick part that they use fluorinated molecules to repel water and absorb oil in sorbent boom.
but i had doubts over it since as far as i remember fluorine forms the strongest hydrogen bonds doesn't it?

Definitely.

All of the topics?
I mean I have solved all papers from 2002 till 2010, but there are many AS topics that are not mentioned or required for the A2.

yeah i agree with TJ-56, "definitely" is the wrong answer.... for sure.
theres about 5 marks in total only for AS organic Chem, is anybody studying AS organic then?

He didn't mention all topics, he mentioned AS topics. If I would have been there, I would revise all the AS topics atleast once.

Maybe it's best if we did so, but to be honest, it's easier said than done, plus, paper 4 is just a few days away and hence there's barely enough time to go through the past papers.
