How difficult was it in comparison to other papers, also what would band 5 and 6 cut off be?

I think in terms of multiple choice was probs same as last year maybe a little more difficult. The core the calculations are harder than last year but nothing like too hard if u know ur content. Questions as a whole for the core were sort of easy but last year people said it was easy and a b6 was still like 80ish raw. In terms of the option for industrial chemistry probs harder than last year

What'd you get for the equilibrium constant?

I can't remember the number but the q was a trick solids are not in the equilibrium constant so it was just k = [nh3] [h2s]

I think it was something x 10^-4 if u use scientific notation

i got something x10^-4 for equilibrium constant too :)
if I remember highest cell potential was B.. i remember getting 2.2v for that
and lol didnt realise sea shell was a back titration but got apparently the right answer of 54.5% or something like that (i realised i calculated percentage weight of sodium carbonate not carbonate, so i did it again in the last 2 minutes)

In the cell potential is the question wrong or just a trick question
Solution says 2+
But al is 3+

Also, is the marking similar to maths where they would read crossed out answers? Seems i got close to one of the calculations but I accidentally crossed it out :<

I remember my teacher saying before that they stop reading crossed out answers in maths now.
