question 22 ans A . why ?!

A carbocation is the intermediate , it is electrophilic addition of alkenes and the intermediate is carbocation. C is wrong as it is free radical substitution of alkanes, B is wrong as it is nucleophilic substitution of primary halogenoalkane so it is SN2 (no formation of carbocation)

q27,
ans is B, y cant it be D? :S

q35, ans C
why is Carbon not correct,
like it could be CO+1/2 O2-> CO2

ok,
according to the data,

the equation of the reaction is.
PbCl4 +4NaBr-->Pb+2Br2+4NaCl.

now
6.980g of PbCl4
calculate its moles,Mr=349
6.980/349
=0.02mol

now since mol ration is 1:2,
we have 0.04mol of Bromine.

to get the mass.
multiply moles with its mr
= 0.04X79.9
=3.196
^ your answer.

Q6. need to make sure units are correct
pV= nRT
R = 8.31
T= 303K
n= 0.56/28= 0.02 mol
p= 120 000 Pa

You can solve for v (in terms of m^3)

Q7.
Formation of propanone

3C (s) + 3H2 (g) + 1/2 O2 (g)--> C3H6O (g)

heat of reaction = heat of combustion of reactants- heat of combustion of products
= 3(-394)+3(-286)-(-1786)
=-254

Q13. ? What answer?

Q14.
I'm guess the hurdle is getting the balanced equation?

10Al + 3Ba(NO3)2 --> 5Al2O3 + 3BaO + 3N2

moles of barium nitrate = 0.783 / 261 = 0.003
moles of N2 = 0.003
vol of N2 at RTP = 0.003 x 24000 = 72 cm^3

Q38.
Mr of alcohol = 74
Moles of alcohol used = 70/74 = 0.946
Moles of alcohol converted into products = 0.946 x 62% = 0.586

1. If 0.586 mol of butanone was obtained, it would weight 0.586 x Mr of butanone = 0.586 x 72 = 42.2 g (statement 1 true)
2. If 0.586 mol of butanoic acid was obtained, it would weight 0.586 x Mr of butanoic acid = 0.586 x 88 = 51.6 g (statement 2 true)
3. If 0.586 mol of 2-methylpropanoic acid was obtained, it would weight 0.586 x 2-methylpropanoic acid = 0.586 x 88 = 51.6 g (statement 3 true)

Well thank you soo much for the help!
But I didn't get question 6 I did all the possible ways..
Would U please explain it ..

For question 13 the answer is c

someone pls explain Q24

ans is B, butan-2-ol

so,
now if you oxidise
A, butan-1-ol, you get an aldehyde on mild oxidation and carboxylic acid on further, 2 products, so wrong answer.
B, oxidising butan-2-ol gives us only butanone. so it's the correct option.

draw out all the given structures, or do it mentally for questions like this.

Q12...Answer B>>I cant understand the question :s
Q17...Answer C>>Why SO2 is produced instead of SO3......Its written excess oxygen....and in other questions in a different year,they write that SO3 is produced :s
Q18...Answer D>>Again i cant understand the questions
Q21...Answer D
Q22..Answer A>>Could u plz give me a brief explanation for the mechanisms we have in AS syllabus ??!!
Q25..Answer C
Q26..\answer C

q35, ans C
why is Carbon not correct,
like it could be CO+1/2 O2-> CO2

Question 35
Remember it particularly mentions atmosphere,
Reaction of Nitrogen and sulphur can occur in atmosphere while CO has triple bond it can't take place

Q 27
Butan-2-ol forms 2 alkene and a cistrans
while in option D, No cistrans only 2 alkene

WHO HATES CHEMISTRY??

Don't say that.. A's Chemistry requires a lot of practice and cleared concept... It's MCQs are hell... But ones's u get ur concept get cleared.. iA u can conquer it.. Just dont lose hope...

 

[kingo44]

if u hydrolyse ester how many oh are produced

 

[kingo44]

how 2 are formed is the hydroxyl group in carboxylic acid applicable also please clarify

Man i have practiced most of P1 chemistry and still i am scoring in 20's :s
In p 21 , I think thatr i willlose 20 marks due to my silly mistakes in the silly questions
In p 32, i can lose up to 7-8 marks
so in P11,I need a high score to get an overall A incase{and for sure} the gt is high
Any way thanks man..and sure I will never lose hope...Inshallah Allah will help me
Allah kareem

according to the ester

Have u seen the gt for summer and winter 2013 in both of them to get an A u need 93 marks and as u say u will lose abt 20 marks in P2 and 8 marks in P3 so that means u will get 40 in P2 and abt 32 in P3 that makes 72 so u need abt 21 marks in P1 according to last years gt to get an A so don't worry that much u will get an A inshallah and everyone else too

Thank u
inshallah
But this mark is out of 130 :s not 140 ..... Also i expect a high Gt for P21 cuz there was no much of Organic chemistry
IDK how they calculate it
But plz remember me in ur prayers
Good luck to u
