    Galvanic Cell

    what you said first is correct
  2. M

    how was it

    it doesn't matter about the feasability of it. that's what they said happened. and if you calculate it correctly it is only about 3.something grams.. i hope you converted to KJ/mol not J/mol
  3. M

    Killed by multiple choice?

    12 or 13/15 stupid, stupid mistakes.

    Galvanic Cell

    +1 , Fe3+ has a higher reduction potential than Fe2+ so just use that.
  5. M

    how was it

    no, you're not meant to round until you get to your final answer, where you put it in the correct amount of sig figs. perhaps, as it said 50% is lost to the environment. keep reading the question buddy, don't cut corners :P

    Galvanic Cell

    Cathode's are electrodes, as such they have to be connected to something... ions are not connected to anything. perhaps, but it was not electrolysis, regardless. There was no external power source.
  7. M

    how was it

    you should never ever round. you probably won't get full marks. and also, it may have been 2s.f. not 3 (i dont remember though)
  8. M

    how was it

    i don't know how you did it... but, /\H = -mc/\t where m was 210, c is 4.18, t was 65 /\H = 57.057 KJ/g turn this into /mol 57.057 x mm(ethanol) / m(ethanol) = 1376/2 (50% heat lost to environment) rearrange to find m(ethanol) m(ethanol) = 2624.622/688 =3.8 grams (2 sf)
  9. M

    how was it

    silver ions have a higher reduction potential than water

    Carried Error in Chemistry

    You will get 0 for part a, unless it was out of 2 , you may get 1 any other parts (if correct) will get 100% so yes carry on errors apply

    Galvanic Cell

    lol, Oxidation occurs at the Anode. platinum is inert meaning it doesn't oxidise or reduce. look at the standard potentials table, Pb -> Pb2+ + 2e- oxidation is loss. therefore the anode was lead.
  12. M

    how was it

    i got 15 B but i dont know why, 1.8% nitrogen because it was 2s.f. i think... and if not i got like 1.77%. your ethanol is incorrect though, sorry dude
  13. M

    Band cut offs?

    For nitrogen i think i got 1.77% as well. does anyone remember amount of significant figures though? and that was really quite easy, i'm thinking around 85+ for band 6

    Shipwrecks

    Man i pumped this section. i loved the 7 marker on the scientists haha. although i agree, a part II was dodgy for me, but the rest of it was totally fine.
  15. M

    How did you go?

    lol oh well right? um ammonia bread wasnt too bad when i got my head around it ended up getting about 1.2% nitrogen.
  16. M

    How did you go?

    That's right carbon monoxide was removed from the environment , causing the sharp drop in CO making the equilibrium shift further to the right
  17. M

    How did you go?

    That was a rather simple exam compared to past years, i loved the shipwrecks option. pumped that booklet front to back. however yes, that 6 mark equilibrium question was tricky. i think i said , incorrectly, what the last change was, but oh well. I'd say at least 80% raw
  18. M

    raw mark needed for band six

    After that exam, i'd say you're about right anna band 6, 85-90% raw.
  19. M

    Thoughts on raw mark needed for an E4

    You speak the truth. What i meant to say is that everything is being based off of assumptions. If 50/84 is enough for an E4, Then 60/84 will definitely be an E4, Else It will probably be an E4 if you get 60, but not if you get 50. Is that a little better? :)
  20. M

    Thoughts on raw mark needed for an E4

    My math teacher, HSC marker, says that on average you need to get around 50/84 to get an E4, if you get 60 it's probably going to definitely be an E4
