Chemistry: Post your doubts here!

did someone understand m/j 2011(paper 22) question 5(C)? can you explain how you get the answer?

 

[Namehere]

among all salts in our syllabus the only insoluble salts of Barium are Barium Carbonate, BaSO4 and BaS03
we will first add HCl to remove carbonate and then add BaCl. if we get ppt then we add dilute acid in excess to make sure it is SO4 not SO3.
BaSO4 is insoluble in acidic solution.

Suchal, would you mind giving me a list of what are we supposed to know what is insoluble and what is soluble (like a generalisation). Thanks!

Just draw the structural formula of the trans isomer of the given formula.

Just draw the structural formula of the trans isomer of the given formula.

yeah but why is that the answer? i can look at the marking scheme and it would tell me the same thing. i don't understand why

It says right there in the question that elaidic acid is the trans isomer of the formula, so just draw it.
The aim of this question was to test whether or not you know how to draw a cis isomer and a trans isomer.

all nitrates are soluble
all group 1 carbonates are soluble
group 2 carbonates are insoluble
most of the ammonium salts are soluble.
oxides of metal depend on the reagent they are dissolved in. like CuO is soluble in NH3 solution but insoluble in NaOH solution.
most sulfates are soluble. but BaSO4 is insoluble.
most halides are soluble except silver hallides. and their solubility depends on the medium as well.
AgCl is white ppt.

These sites might help ... check em

1.Beta-Theta.com Chemistry Section
http://adf.ly/378ET
Notes on a number of topics relevant to AS/A Level Chemistry are included. The notes include a particularly good interactive Periodic Table. There is also access to Homework Help and to a Midnight Café chat-room.

2.http://adf.ly/l8tn
This is a US site intended for first year undergraduates, but much is relevant to AS/A Level Chemistry. Notes, articles and tutorial are included. A number of experiment simulations can be accessed. The compound library is very good.

3.http://adf.ly/l8to
A lighthearted look at many aspects of Chemistry. There are a lot of links to useful pages written by teachers and students. Not all of this is relevant to AS/A Level, but much is. A wealth of information and a lot of fun.

Aswk. In electrolysis, the metal ions travel from the solution to the cathode or from the anode to the cathode? What's the purpose of keeping the metal ions in both places? Plz help.

 

[Ameena Eesa]

Can you describe how electrical energy can be produced from simple cells?

It would be much better if you could link us to past papers, with question number rather than just trying to take a pic and then upload, which is much harder and confusing both for you and us.
