Hi ya'll. Im doing AS Chem, and i was wondering if you guys could help me out.. What should I be studying for Unit 3 Alt. to Practical? Are there like specific experiments I should concentrate more on? & the syllabus has changed since 2008 right, that means I should only study past papers from 2009 and 2010?
 Thanks, you guys are the best  :D

I suggest that you should check the specification which mentions the experiments you should know and study according to that.
Also memorise some common test, like for gases and organic test in the syllabus, colour changes etc.
And do learn the techniques for titration it always comes up
And some basic calculations like moles and stuff from IG

you mean tertiary Alcohol ... well it's because the carbon that's bonded to the OH group is bonded to THREE other carbons where as in the secondary alcohol the carbon bonded to the OH group is only bonded to TWO carbons and a HYDROGEN ..... Remember one of the definitions of Oxidation is loss of hydrogen and since the tertiary is NOT bonded to ANY HYDROGENS that is why the tertiary is NEVER going to get oxidized ;)


I hope you got it :)

Post 'em all here!!!!

I do Edexcel AS chemistry!




well
im studying chem and i was wondering if anyone cn give me some advice on how to study organic chemistry and unit3
the problem with unit 3 is the detailed questions following the experiments
is there any site where i cn find experiments and their details and unit3 revision in general ?!
i already have the cgp revision guide...


also
in the syllabus it says :

explain why a metal halide and concentrated sulphuric acid should not be used when making a bromoalkane or an iodoalkane


treatment of haloalkanes iwth water containing dissolved silver nitrate ??


demonstrate an understanding of why it is helpful to classify reagents



help/?? i dont understand these topics any help will be appreciated
thank you so much :)

H2SO4 is a very strong oxidising agent, hence, a metal halide (where the halide is Bromine or Iodine) would be oxidised straight to Bromine/Iodine and a mixture of sulphur compounds.

You'd be left with very little Hydrogen Bromide or Hydrogen Iodide which is required to form a bromoalkane or iodoalkane.

Silver Nitrate reacts with a chloroalkane to form a white ppt., a bromoalkane to forma a cream ppt. and  a iodoalkane to form a yellow ppt.

free radical is  a specie that has an unpaired electron  where as -ve ion is an atom that has one less electron

I hope I helped :)
