um, how can you say you found the paper hard, yet anticipate a raw mark of over 90.

i do calculation questions in past papers, and then i somehow always manage to not be able to do them in the exam itself.



i found calculations in today's paper so confusing.

plus zinc tablets - wtf?
plus what were the 2 redox reactions in the shipwrecks option. one was ag+ + 2e- --> ag(s)
what was the other?
i made up alot.

compared to past papers this one felt harder...i usually get like 94 in past papers. Anyone get the galvanic cell q...what potenitla were we supposed to use for the cathode?

The cathode was the chlorine gas turning into chlorine anions.

yeah add 2.94 (potassium) to -0.94 (the other one- *forget*)

ooh that was the only question i wasn't sure about. I used the Cl2 gas porential, times it buy 2 and added it to the +ve nickel one. That meant i got a voltage of about 2.9X volts, dont quite remember. What did evry 1 else get?

You dont times the chloride by 2, molar ratio's are not considered in that.

It was an alright paper. Not too easy, but not as hard as some of the past papers I've done.

Did anyone else get hydrogen gas for question 20?

platinum is inert and just transfers the elctrons

I reckon that's probably one of the easiest Chem papers in many years...

I can (not boasting) say that I killed it... very straightforward paper IMO (with some small exceptions).

WOOOOOOOOOOT THIS FUCKER'S FINISHED HIS HSC!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D

All the calculations I found quiet hard. I guess I didn't practice them recently for a long time, lol. Found so much mistakes in the calculations.

For the AAS for zinc, I was like wtf.

For AAS, you were supposed to work it out from the graph, right?
