guys there is a rumour, saying that there will be no


- Organinc chemistry,
- Reactivity Series
- moles
-Endo or Exo thermic thingys

however will be

Rates of Reactions,
Bonding
and da rest


ur welcome


i am soo bloody confident

u will b knowing the total oxidation state of the compound ...
if its a compound .. then the oxidation state is zero
if its an ion then the oxidation state is the final charge on that ion

now suppose we take KMnO4  .. the final oxidation sate is zero .. because there is no overall charge on the compound
suppose u wanna get the oxidation number of Mn .. assume it to be x
we know that K is +1 , and O is -2 ....    this is how u do it
   (+1) + x + (-2)(4)  = 0
solve algebrically so x = 7

thank u so much 4 ur response. (+rep) i read the same method in one of the other sites and i understand very well now.
this is the site i used
http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/redox/oxidnstates.html

do u know what is the oxidation state? as in what is it meant to represent in an atom.

hey could anyone gimme the list of water soluble and insoluble gases

well common ones that dissolve are

Hydrogen chloride
Hydrogen sulphide
Ammonia
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen dioxide
Chlorine gas
Carbon monoxide
nitrous oxide

Actually most gases dissolve in water but have different values of solubility. But those gases are complex so I think these should be enough for our syllabus

Ill try to get a full list if possible

 our teacher made a summary according to the syllabus.
 and i just review it +reading the organic part word by word before the mock exam
 and i get A   just a few marks more to get A *
 so if you know very well about syllabus and+ read some important chapter carefully
 u will succeed.

ahan true!! but i meant that which one is more improtant to study first for revision.

ok i guess:

1)Organic chemistry
2)Metals
3)Electrolysis
4)Rust prevention
5)Sulphur, Air, Water, Carbohydrates


I think.... all will come...but Metals is an important topic...

6) mole concept
7)redox reactions

no way man the life of paper 3 runs on these thing, what im saying is tht without this, there really isnt any paper 3.
 Organinc chemistry,
- Reactivity Series
- moles
-Endo or Exo thermic thingys

these are always there in paper3 chemistry
