Predict the 6/7 Marker!! (1 Viewer)

[r.uss]

SO! Chem is tomorrow, and for all us Chemistry students, perhaps the most exciting part of reading time is the moment of truth when we read the long response question.

What do you think it will be?!




I think perhaps a water question, unfortunately. Because I, for the life of me, cannot remember anything to do with it.

I hope its on batteries or radioisotopes, since I've had them memorised since term four last year.

 

[*o*]

radioisotopes were last year, so thats ruled out.

there hasnt been a battery or ethanol question in a while, thats possible i guess. i hope its not on water purification...

 

[danno1990]

im thinking something along the lines of biomass/alternatives/ethanol etc.
Ive sat bio and physics aswell and both papers have used verbs like HOW AND WHY so get ready chem will follow i think.

 

[Felix Jones]

why not just be ready for evrything??? thats my plan.

Oh no, I am [trying]. Its just remembering 28 pages of long response is quite hard, I'm sure you'll appreciate.

May Chemistry be doomed to eternal damnation!!!

I'm thinking batteries. Hasn't been one since 2001

 

[cathyjun28]

I want battery questions, I've been memorising the equations for cathod and anode of those batteries for days.

*prays for batteries or water quality*

 

[Aaron.Judd]

Ethanol.

 

[Shadose]

random guess ... something no one has mentioned ... CFCs

 

[kangms]

i reckon Acids question. Like, acid rain and its pollution. Something along those lines i guess

 

[kangms]

random guess ... something no one has mentioned ... CFCs

CFC were in the past paper for 6 mark. So i don't think that will be long answer

 

[danz90]

I reckon 5-7 marker on Ethanol/Biomass for sure.

Possible 4-5 marker on purifying/sanitising municipal water supply.

I think there will be something on modelling the ionisation of acids, this year.

Predicting 7 marker AAS - Assess impact to environment/society with its uses

hoping not batteries or a societal impact question
cant remember much for batteries
do we need to know dry cell, and one other? or two?

Predicting 7 marker AAS - Assess impact to environment/society with its uses

We had a 5-marker on it in the trial. I hope it happens in the real thing.

lead acid OR dry cell and 1 other.

 

[Rutherfordium]

lead acid OR dry cell and 1 other.

in a past paper i did it asked specifically for information on a lead acid battery, was that something thats been ammended in the syllabus?

They might ask a question like this:
"These are the reactions for a lead-acid battery. Which happens at the anode?"
But not like this
"Write down the reactions for a lead-acid battery"
i.e. you won't have to know specific information about both.
