    do we need to be able to draw that big, long structure of sopa with the polar and non polar parts?

    Yep. Looks so sciency when you draw it out:D

    This is what i am/will be studying for the chemistry exam:

    No.1 Exp

    No.2 Exp

    No.3 Exp

    Short questions i.e. All defintitions, +whatever will cover me from below. Always manageable anyway.

    Fuels and thermochem

    Equilibrium/Rates

    Acids+bases/Ph and indicator/Water

    for the option question: (Radioactivity/Electronegativity/Electrolysis/Gases/Stoichiometry/Oxidation and reduction/Machines)

    As a very last resort+an extra question, I will lightly study the important stuff in Q5.

    Alright, I'll try do one today, but I'm warning ye, I can't sing very well :pac:
    We're waiting, waiting,waiting, waiting, waiting for something to happen very soon..... #Humms Blissfully

    Q5 is the easy stuff. I don't get why people don't do it. :/

    I usually don't have to. It's the worst answered question in chemistry....
    It's do-able but It's not nice in my opinion. :)

    I think esters will come up in the organic section. They havent had a full Question since 2004 i think.
    Well if they do this year thats my favorite section ruined. I just dont understand them at all >.<

    When you say a full question do you mean like the soap question? How could they give a full question on just one family? :confused:

    I'm with you completely there... Q5 is also like.. the "paragraph answer" question and let's face it who wants to write paragraphs in Chemistry? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,326 ✭✭✭Scuid Mhór


    well i FOR ONE enjoy writing paragraphs in chemistry!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show


    Yeah I used to think Q5 was a great, dependable q and thought I'd pulled 50/50 in my mocks, only got 35 and I'm still not entirely sure why. If I do it it'll be one out of at least nine!

    Wanna do a quiz? It might help us with a abit of study? Sooo why do you add sulfuric acid in the titrations?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭Prodigious


    To provide H+ ions for the reaction.

    Define a primary standard.

    I said that answer in the mock and I got no marks.. Primary standard is a substance that can be available in a pure and stable form.

    Mocks are bull****.

    What are the three stresses which LCP applies to?

    That's because, it's a source of H+ to enusre Mn+7 is fully reduced to Mn+2?

    Temperature
    Pressure
    Concentration

    It's an autocatalyst - catalyses the reaction.

    Give two everyday uses of ethanoic acid.


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭comeclosa


    Wow I thought I was good at chemistry.. what's lcp ?

    LCP = Le Chatelier's Principle
    Ethanoic Acid uses= component of vinegar, used to make cellulose acetate, a component in photographic film.

    Reagents needed for the sulfite/sulfate test?

    A sulfite salt eg: Baruim cholride and Hcl. What's bod?

    It is the levels of dissolved oxygen in a sample of water after being kept in the dark for 20 degrees for 5 days,

    what's eutrophication?

    It's the enrichment of the water with minerals causing an algal bloom which use up the O2 in water killing fish life.. sucks to be them :c

    What's crystallisation? Eg, water of crystallisation?

    It's water that is chemically combined in the formula of a compound?
    What's gay-lussacs law?

    Gases are in the ratio of small whole numbers under stp.

    Avagados law? The one with gases.

    Equal volumes of gases contain equal number of molecules provided they're measured under the same temp. and pressure.

    Hess's law?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭Prodigious


    When a reaction takes place in anumber of stages, the sum of the heat changes of each stage is equal to the heat change if the reaction had been carried out in one stage.

    Homologous series?


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭woopah92


    Oh and for gay-lussacs law that def might not get full marks, I'd say:
    In a reaction between gases, the volumes of the gases and and any gaseous products formed are in the ratio of small whole number provided they're measured under the same conditions of temp and pressure.


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭woopah92


    Homologous series:
    A series of compounds of uniform chemical type, that have the same method of preparation, have a general formula for it's members, show gradations in physical properties and differ from each previous member by a unit. I dunno if that's it fully though :/

    Explain the word amphoteric and give an example of a substance which is amphoteric.

    A substance which can act as both an acid and a base...eg water is it?

    Sequence of colour changes in titrations with starch indicator? (love this question for 12 marks!)

    It is one which can act as either an Acid or a base depending on the subtance it's placed in. Eg. H2O

    red/brown if iodine is used, pale yellow, blue black, colourless
    Define atomic orbital


  • Registered Users Posts: 482 ✭✭woopah92


    Region of space where there is a high probability of finding an electron :pac:

    A triad?

    I thought it was Dark yellow, then straw yellow .........etc

    Region of space where you are most likely to find an electron.

    What do flocculating agents do in water treatment and what flocculating agents are used?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 346 ✭✭weirdspider


    I thought it was Dark yellow, then straw yellow .........etc

    Wait, which titration are you referring to? I just chose the iodine thiosulphate one and the colour of the conical flask is red/brown due to the liberated iodine

    I bet you guys have chemistry books open in front you right now ;)

    They cause supsended particles to clump and aluminium sulphate
    Who discovered the electron?

    That would defeat the purpose of a quiz lol

    In relation to recrystalisation of benzoic acid..

    Why is it important to use the the least amount of hot solvent at crystallisation stage ?

    What would you do if crystals formed on the filter paper?

    To maximise the amount precipitating out
    Scrape them off?


  • Registered Users Posts: 64 ✭✭ladymacbeth


    Hoping for the Iron Tablet experiment as question 1 and a lovely Organic Experiment in question 3. If there was a decent question 3, i would have less to do in section 2 - ideally!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 428 ✭✭Acciaccatura


    The definition video is now on its way, I only got time to do 11 though, and I stress what I said earlier about my singing. Stay tuned :P

    I think a more precise answer would be to ensure the solution is saturated as with too much solvent, the solution would be too dilute for crystals to form.

    As for the second question there, err I dunno really, I know you use the Buchner apparatus with the suction pump to minimise the possibility of that happening, as for those that would form I'd just get rid of them and forget they ever happened. :L

    I was told to pour hot water on the filter paper to allow them to redissolve and filter through I think?

    Lots of different ones, everything from Lady Gaga to Mozart :pac: Gimme another 10 minutes and I'll show you :P

    Here it is! I'm not gonna lie, I am quite embarrassed about this :pac: I'll just leave all my shame with this post :P
