polypropene does not have a sharp melting temperature but softens over a range of temperatures suggest why this is so??

Because it is not pure. An impure substance melts or boils over a temperature range.

That is not true actually, it is because there are many varying chain lengths in the substance. This is the answer in the mark-scheme.

Chemguide is the best place to learn pretty much anything in chemistry.

I would advise you to go there.

Guys , if you check Unit 1 June 2006 Markscheme ..
the Answer for Question 3 (a)(ii)
it says:
electrons promoted (by heat/flame to a higher level) (1)
NOT electrons excited
fall back down/return (1)
emit light (1)


wait wats [NOT electrons excited] ??
ive always learned it as EXCITED ! isnt thst right ?  ???

wat they want u to write is dat electrons are promoted to higher energy levels by heating
do not write electrons are excited

The answer to 10a) is A and the answer to 10b) is C. This is what the markscheme says.

But I believe that 10a) should be B.

And 10b) should be D.

But I simply do not get this.

10a)

The forward reaction is exothermic. Therefore, increasing the temperature will counteract this change, shifting to the endothermic side. (Left hand side|). An important point to notice is that when talking about yield, we ALWAYS mean the product. Therefore the yield will decrease.

And we know that increasing the temperature increase the reaction rate.

Therefore the answer is A

Clear?
