Please help O/N/14 paper 13

8 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. Ferrochrome is an alloy of iron and chromium. Ferrochrome can be dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid to produce a mixture of FeSO4 and Cr2(SO4)3. The FeSO4 reacts with K2Cr2O7 in acid solution according to the following equation. 14H+ + 6Fe2+ + Cr2O72– → 2Cr3+ + 6Fe3+ + 7H2O When 1.00 g of ferrochrome is dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid, and the resulting solution titrated, 13.1 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm–3 K2Cr2O7 is required for complete reaction. What is the percentage by mass of Fe in the sample of ferrochrome? A 1.22 B 4.39 C 12.2 D 43.9

oh okay, thankyou! could you help me with this too, if possible please? :)
6 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. In some countries, anhydrous calcium chloride is used as a drying agent to reduce dampness in houses. The anhydrous salt absorbs enough water to form the dihydrate CaCl 2.2H2O. What is the percentage increase in mass?
A 14%
B 24%
C 32%
D 36%
answer is C
Your welcome :D
Well this is and easy question and it goes like this ...
First find the Mr of both the compounds .. i mean for CaCl2 ( 111.1g ) and for Cacl2.2H2O ( 147.1g ) .... and then find the increase in percentage using either using the cross multiplication method ( the method which i prefer all the time ) or any other way ....
(147.1*100)/111.1 = 132.4

therefore 132.4-100 = to get the increase in percentage from the standard 100%
which is 32 % .. ie C
Hope you got it ...

In this case, we divide equally because the question gives us the information that "a single product was obtained after oxidizing."

We don't assume that we divide equally for all other questions unless the clues tells us so.

As for your example of 5 carbons, there is no way to obtain a single product after oxidizing.
Oh thanks a lot

I asked my teacher the same question and this is how she explained it to me:
She told me 1) draw propene (keep in mind that the question is talking about Propenoate not propanoate. There's a difference.)
2) make it propenoic acid
3) make an ester with methanol
4) now add a Methyl group to the compound.
You'll see that A is the only possible option
I know that's not very good explanation but I hope you get it :D

http://onlineexamhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/9701_s14_qp_11.pdf Question 29 of this paper ...
Can anyone please draw and show me all the possible Geometrical isomers that exist for that compound ....
There are four geometrical isomers. Remember that there are TWO double bonds in the structure, and both are able to have geometrical isomerism. It is difficult to draw them, but imagine this:

FIRST DOUBLE BOND...........SECOND DOUBLE BOND.......
1). cis..........................................cis.................
2). cis........................................trans.................
3). trans......................................cis...........................
4). trans....................................trans...........................


Therefore, there are 4 isomers. In general, if there are x double bonds in a compound that are able to show cis-trans isomerism, there are 2^x geometric isomers of the compound. (eg if there are 3 double bonds, 8 isomers will be seen.)


EDIT: Sorry, it should be three, as cis,trans and trans,cis will be the same, just flipped around; due to this compound's symmetry.
