Could be easier than its predecessors considering many students found P2 hard ...

well i think its probably gonna have a lot of
hess's law
kinetics
atomic structure
cuz there wasnt a lot of q's in ppr 2

im gonna have my exam in 25 hours and half
hope theres a lot of repeated qs

Actually, Paper 1 might be relatively easier since Paper 2 was hard ... Apparently, they tend to balance it out that way.

I certainly hope so. :/

i don't care. i gave up hope on my P1. as i blew it with P2, so no there's no point anymore..

resitting anyway.

I can't go through another exam like Chemistry P2 , ORGANIC KILLED ME!! I just hope P1 isn't the same  :'(

Did anyone else think that question 4 in Chemistry P2 was really annoying? If you didn't know how to do the first part , you completely lost out on that question, I've never seen that done on a paper!  >:(

Can sumbody help me with a question,it's Q10,chemistry ppr1,may/june 06

let's take the no of mol of N2O4= x

given N2O4 is 50% dissociated, so the change of partial pressure of the gas is -0.50x, and 2mol of NO2 is +1.0x

so 0.50x + 1.0x = 1atm
                   x = 2/3

so Kp = (2/3)^2 divide by (0.5 x 2/3)
        = 4/3 atm

help needed Q4 october novermer 2006

What i did is trace the line back to the y-axis.... hence it should be 70 cm3 of oxygen only , because at 0 x-axis there is no hydrocarbon only oxygen... the graph which traces back to 70 should be correct thus the answer is D... im not sure of my method, but thats what i could come up to... hope it helped ;)

 i got butane1 ol
then butan2-ol
then methyl propan1 ol
then methypropan 2ol
another is C-C-C-O-C
another ether could be C-C-O-C-C

thats 6 not 5.... so HELP :-[...
thanks

Plz any1 ?
im not sure if u do it this way but it worked for me
if u luk at the half equation SO32- becomes SO42-, this means it is getting oxidised by one oxygen atom hence the metal ion would get reduced to the same degree and a decrease in oxidation number would occur and +3-1=+2

Hey guys I just sat for the paper...

There were a lot organic Qs...More than 20...Inorganic also...Study about solubility...About halogens...Function of Bromide...Study about Astatine...Read a lot of past year Questions...Cis-trans stuff...

What reacts with sodium,NaHCO3...

REaction of ammonium ions...Thermal stability of H and halogens bonds...

Bond angles of organic cmpds...

Enthalphy change....

chiral centre...

FOCUS ON UR ORGANICS...

Can anyone help me with this question?

30) Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.
Ethyl ethanoate can be obtained from ethanoic acid and ethanol by the following reaction.
CH3CH2OH + CH3CO2H = CH3CO2CH2CH3 + H2O
Ethanol (30 g) and ethanoic acid (30 g) are heated under reflux together, and 22 g of ethyl
ethanoate are obtained.
What is the yield of the ester?
A 25 % B 38 % C 50 % D 77 %

This is question 30 , November 08

A 25 % B 38 % C 50 % D 77 %

This is question 30 , November 08

The answer would be C - 50%.
You have to calculate the moles of both ethanol and ethanoic acid and take the smaller value.
(since they react in 1:1 ratio, one with more moles would be in excess)
the aformentoned value of moles would equal the theoretical yield of ester in moles
(as again, they are in one:one ratio i.e. one mole of ethanoic acid reacts with one mole of ethanol to form one moles of ester)
then you can multiply RMM of ester given to the mole given to find theoretical yield in mass.
you then divide actual yield by theoretical yield.

Hope this helps  ;)
Meh if it doesn't.
