Bond breaking is endothermic because the molecules are using energy from the surroundings to 'break' their bonds.
Bond forming  is exothermic because of a reason, which im not quite sure is relevant to IGs... two molecules start off at a higher energy. When they bond together, they become more stable and release energy.

oh yea sorry by mistake i wrote exothermic for bond breaking and bond formation!
Anyway what you just said makes sense but then how is 2N + O2 ---> 2NO endothermic?! Since nitrogen is combining with oxygen shouldnt it be exothermic?!

a colorimeter is a device used to measure the intensity of colour of a solution
u just need to know wen to use it for igcse

i dont think colourimeter is a data logger .. colourimeter si a device measures the absorbance of wavelengths of light by a specific given solution. we hav it in our lab .. jus a small thing (looks lik a weighing scale without the plate) has a hole where a test tube can fit in .. had almost forgotten abt it !!

data logger records data over time .. thts wat i remember .. =\

q5 3? why green ppt.

Test for Copper(II)

That indicates tht the cation is Cu2+

green solution formed
dark blue solution formed

already given in the ques. ..

It is also because the endothermic reaction needs more energy than the exothermic reaction...its a simple explanation. Every reaction has an endothermic and exothermic reaction involved, it just depends on which one requires more energy. When they say the reaction is endothermic, then OVERALL, the exothermic reaction needs less energy than the endothermic reation, and vice versa for exothermic reactions.

synthesis of N2 and O2 requires a lot of heat .. tht is why NO is formed in the presence of lightning naturally in the atmosphere

I get that the dark blue is copper 2+ but isnt green ppt iron (II)?

Yea i kno even i was foxed by this one .. yes for Iron(II) its green ppt.., insouble in excess so solid B was added so prolly it had Fe 2+   i forcefully had look in the ms !! these kinda are always dicey .. i'll ask my sir .. abt it .. ;)

Got two doubts.

Firstly, I'm looking for any Notes/Diagrams/Worksheets on The Chemistry Lab apparatus, where they are all listed and named. I have already tried the Resources at freepastpapers.com and it does not come n handy as the notes are missing a lot.

Secondly, the syllabus mentions that we should describe the test for aqueous zinc cations, it's not in my Collins Chemistry book, so can anyone elaborate on this test?

Plus, I have a tiny request, if anyone has any good links to some great notes for Paper 6 Chemistry, I have already checked the notes submitted in this forum as a post, but they're kind of confusing.

Thanks in advance...
