Title: CIE Chemistry Paper 5
Post by: lhl_anecar on May 28, 2010, 06:00:18 pm
Hi I was wondering, how do you prepare for chemistry paper 5?
I really need some advise and help. any predictions??
will it be sufficient just by reading past years?
do we need to read the application booklet?
am taking the exam without any lessons or tutoring, am studying by myself kinda student.. =)
please advise. lotsa thanks!!  ;D

I am a prepare-by-self kind of student as well. There are really no aids for studying paper 5 for chemistry, but I suggest you use time to look at past papers, esp. Papers 3 so that you get used to laboratory language and experiment technique. Next, I suggest you get a register of all the measuring apparatus and their capacities. Some questions require a first-hand knowledge of them but if you can't get that, you'll have to make do with just a theoretical knowledge. Hope this helps.

he(she) means to read about the standard measuring apparatus and their corresponding standardised volumes.
eg. Measuring cylinder: 10, 50, 100, 200, 500 cm3 (and so on)
Burette: 50.00 cm3
Pipette: 25.0, 50.0 cm3

as well as some other apparatus used to measure temperature, current, mass
take note of the decimal place!

Theres a website: chemsheets.co.uk which has notes and exercises on practicals mostly related to us a level students, i bet it would be helpful

Guys I don't have notes per say on this Paper 5. But I've been going through a couple of them. (I only started a few hours ago with this paper never having touched them before) And it's not that crazy. If you've retained the knowledge from you AS level practicals you should be able to wing it just fine. Remember how we had to follow the directions on how to prepare this and that for the AS level practicals. It's exactly like that except this time we're the examiners and we've got to give the explicit details and procedures.

Apart from that the only thing new I see is that we've got to be able to manipulate the tabular information which can be done with some concentration and just some new terminology like dependent/independent variable etc etc which I'm sure everyone's familiar with. Anyways I know that wasn't much help at all but That's the only advice I can give. Good luck for tomorrow all!

Paper 5

What's the use of calculating the gradient from the graph? What do we do with it once we've found it?

Paper 5

What's the use of calculating the gradient from the graph? What do we do with it once we've found it?

it is to find the ratio of [your y-axis label/your x-axis label]
then, from that ratio, you'll be able to equate the gradient with the ratio, which is in terms of x.
check mark scheme for a complete series of possible combinations.
