- Its time for the sciences

ready to get asked a 10 marker on accuracy, reliability and validity.

they probably have a fetish for apparatus rinsing for mod 6

also, how would you test for ketones and aldehydes? I have come across contradicting sources, so it would be amazing if someone can confirm this!

Just oxidise it again with dichromate, if changes to green then aldehyde present (oxidising to carboxylic acid) and if stays orange then ketone

makes sense - this is defs in the syllabus so will use this. Thanks!

Would love an 8 marker on titrations or esterification

In saying that, I hate mod 8, so please, none of that

yeah especially those weird ppm high mark questions that were in some of the 2022 trials

I hope they do what they did with bio and focus more on mod 5/6 lol

how was the bio exam for you btw?

 

[tgone]

me talking about estérification for 8 pages surely i get 8 marks because they can’t be bothered to read it

 

[avicidal]

that test was kinda doomed, all of the calculations after question 30, i basically invented new chemistry

 

[dbramley]

Anyone have the paper??

omg you literally predicted it

I have never heard someone spit such fax

When will solutions be released?

when nesa finishes their essay on how esterification is extremely dangerous, globally catastrophic because esters are volatile, but the one true kryptonite of this is Fischers process of acid reflux

 

[tgone]

I think NESA forgot to include the flashpoint dangers of ethanol, can't have kids combusting while doing the experiment

for real, using a heating mantle is the only way to save humanity from open flames

 

[hecc]

When will solutions be released?

ok but when will the paper be released?

 

[avicidal]

What do we think the band 6 cut off will be this year?

seeing that the difficulty was about the same as last year, im predicting that it should be around the low 80s of 80-82
