if it was unit 2 then barium hydroxide cz as you go down the group they become more soluble

if it was unit 1 then D cz as you can see this question depends on the polarising power and the polarising power depends on the ionic charge and radius

hey cud sum1 tell the answer to jan 2009 q2
and how u got it??thanks

There is a law in physics called coulombs law of electrostatic forces of attraction:

F= kQ1 Q2 / r2

Therefore, the force is affected by charge and radius. Got that?

as you can see in part a the CH4 became CH3 which means  a C-H bond has been broken therefore it is a bond enthalpy

in part b 4 of the C-H bonds have been broken so its a mean bond enthalpy cz they are all same bonds and a mean value was taken for all of them

What does the "Y" shaped skeletal formula represent? Can someone please provide notes or something on drawing/reading skeletal formula. I have major confusions particularly regarding the branched chain skeletal formulas. And ring/benzenes are not in Unit 1 Syllabus ryt?

That 'Y' would represent 2-methyl propane. Just remember, in this case each line represents a C-C bond and everything else will fall into place. And no, there are no rings/benzenes in Unit 1.

no benzenes r not in our syllabus
here are some links http://www.chemguide.co.uk/basicorg/conventions/names.html#top

hope it helps  ;D

For (a) 3 moles of CO2 is formed. And 2 moles of O2 was used to form water. Thus 8 hydrogens were used.
Thus, C3H8

(b) 1 gram of H2 will mean 1 mole of H2. 20 grams of Ne will mean 1 mole of Ne. Thus same number of atoms as Hydrogen.


how did u calculate the moles for a part

and for b hw is moles for H2 1... its is 1/2=0.5 moles :S:S:S

                  Mg(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)        Mg(NO3)2(aq) + Cu(s)
In the self-heating cans, the bottom has a compartment containing copper(II) nitrate
solution. When a button on the bottom of the can is pressed, the magnesium powder is
released into the compartment where it reacts with the copper(II) nitrate solution.
(a) A student investigated the enthalpy change for this reaction by measuring
     50.0 cm3 of 0.300 mol dm–3 copper(II) nitrate solution into a 100 cm3 beaker and
     adding 1g (an excess) of magnesium powder.
     The results are shown below.
         Temperature of copper(II) nitrate solution at start       = 22 C
         Temperature of mixture after reaction                     = 43 C

(i) Calculate the energy change which took place. The specific heat capacity of the
    solution is 4.20 J g–1K–1.
    Which is the correct value for the energy change in joules?

[6CH01, Specimen Paper]

How to solve this? Answer in mark scheme is 4410 Joules
