I hope someone can still answer my doubt.

Can anyone list down all the colours of Metals, non-metals, gases and everything else that's included in the syllabus for Paper 1? (Including Hydroxide, etc..) There are a lot of questions about it especially in electrolysis. Plus the oxides of metals

Bromine: brown
Chlorine: green
Iodine: grey
lead: silver
Looks like i ran out of cool signatures :|

yo ari u saw my message?

By the way guys: When is hydrogen produced from cracking?

     H    H                           H    H
     |    |        (steam)         |     |
H- C - C - H   ---------->    C = C    +   H2
     |    |        (>800 *C)      |     |
     H    H                           H     H

Baladya: I know those simple stuff, I'm more concerned about the oxides of metals and Hydroxide...
Anyone?

this drove me crazy during my IGCSEs too..

S + 02 --> S02

S - oxidation number 0..
O2 - oxidation number 0

SO2 --> oxidation number of O = (-2*2) = -4 , thus oxidation number of S = +4

S--> 0 to 4 oxidation
O -> 0 to -4 reduction

thus redox.

2S02 + 02-->2 S03

2SO2 -> oxidation number of O = (-2*2) = -4, thus S = +4.  O2 -> 0, final of O = -4+0 = -4

SO3--> Oxidation number of O = (-2*3) = -6, of S = +6

Final , S --> 4 to 6 oxidation

         O --> -4 to -6 reduction

SO3 + H20--> H2SO4

SO3 --> O = (-3*2) = -6 , thus S = +6

H2O --> O = -2, thus H = +2

O in both compounds thus, final number of O = -6-2 = -8

H2SO4--> O = (-2*4) = -8, thus H = +2, as final oxidation number of the compound shud be 0, -8+2+S = 0

thus, S = +6

now the changes

S --> 6 to 6
H --> 2 to 2
O --> -8 to -8..

NOt redox.


Can anyone please explain this, I don't get this at all.  What's oxidation number?

i had the same porb , but u gotta do is that u memorized the solubility thingy list AND memorize the reactivity series ...ohh and understand them

Oxides and hydroxides..ummm, ok one thing to remember, learn the few basic colors of transition metals, like Fe(II)/Fe(iii) brown green stuff.

For example, nickel compounds are green, nickel being a transition metal.

Nickel hydroxide is also green...so u know wat im talking abt rite??

learn the colors of the metal compounds ...

copper - blue

iron - green /brown..etc. check the identification of cations table.
divine intervention!

Umm, link to O/N 2009 P1 please? :)

http://www.freeexampapers.us/IGCSE/Chemistry/CIE/2009%20Nov/0620_w09_qp_11.pdf

I don't understand Q23, why have they chosen 2 and 3 only? And Q13 why does OH- turn UI colourless?
