That happens at your place too??? HAHAHAHA lol. Our teacher tried to be extra clever so he mixed nov 09 gce with igcse nov 09. HAHAH but we had already LEARNED all the answers in both of em' :D. 90% of the class got 40 :D.

LOL not only for paper 1 but for all chem papers  .. so our sir kept the boundary as 95% for A* in mock :P but most of us got abv 90%

Man for us it was nov 09 (all papers) in Physics and Chemistry!!!! LOL Bio was MOSTLY gce nov 09. Maths and English weren't from past papers..

In our school, 90% for A* is fixed so our teacher then decided to cut marks for odd things lol :D.

ok listen .. always ..

acidic oxide is a non-metal ..

also covalent means involving a non-metal ..

ALL non-metals have a valency starting from 4, 5, 6, 7 .. because they need to gain electrons .. u may find this in the "Periodic Table" chapter in your book .. if it has .. consider revising it .. ;) got it ??

-All Chlorides, bromides and iodides are soluble except lead chloride/bromide/iodide, silver Cl/Br/I, and mercury Cl/Br/I

-All sulphates are soluble except lead sulphate, barium sulphate and calcium sulphate

-All carbonates are insoluble except Sodium, potassium (All group 1 metals in general) and ammonium carbonates, which are soluble.

-All hydroxides are insoluble except Sodium, potassium(All group 1 metals in general), ammonium, calcium, strontium and barium hydroxides, which are soluble.

-All nitrates are soluble


heres the list



MINE! :P (c) !

The answer is C.

This is because, the air in the jar contains, along with all the other components in the air, OXYGEN. This OXYGEN, i.e 21% is USED UP by the iron fillings as they react with it to form iron oxide, i.e rust, which is also hydrated.

As the oxygen is used up, water in the tube rises to replace the lost volume of the oxygen.
