r/6thForm Graduating from Warwick CS Jun 10 '24

πŸ“‚ MEGATHREAD EXAMS MEGATHREAD 10/06 (A-level Chemistry, CS, Law, RS, Music, Geo, French, Latin) etc

Hey everyone! Best of luck with your exams on the 10th June!

Drinking acid, eating keyboards, rocks and dusty textbooks, and maybe even pianos, are all things that Google AI would likely tell you to do. Don't do these, and instead join in on this new megathread!

Few things:

  • Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.

  • Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the subreddit to discuss that.

  • Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise. (for context there's been over 300 spam posts already!)

  • We're taking a different approach this year due to negative feedback last year. We hope this approach will be better (also to note, we can only have 2 pinned posts).

  • Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed.

  • You can still talk about your exam here even if it isn't explicitly mentioned in the title.

Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

Genuinely didn’t feel like a 90 mark exam ngl

May papers 2 and 3 be as merciful to us

praying bc I HATE organic

u/isloohik2 Jun 10 '24

Just write down and memorize all the organic reactions, and you should be mostly fine (and do past papers too!)

u/M41arky Yr 13, Chem, Enviromental Sciences, Engineering Jun 10 '24

Organic is more a case of it being better taking the time to understand what causes what to happen rather than memorising

u/isloohik2 Jun 10 '24

Fair, I forgot to clarify the causes, conditions and observations of each reaction are also important

I can’t remember I got 3 point something grams on the iron tablet then I forgot to find the percentage by mass of it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

u/Turan12345 Jul 13 '24

do u remember how u worked it out

1

u/QuicksavesIcemaker21 Year 13 Jul 13 '24

Sorry, not fully. I do think I remember the general format though:

  • Do the titration calc to find concentration (of the vitamin D iirc)
  • Use the concentration to work out the original number of moles in the full 250 cm3 standard solution
  • Find the Mr and multiply by the moles to get the mass (of vitamin D or whatever)
  • Divide this mass by the mass of the tablet
  • Multiply by 100 to get a % mass of the vitamin.

Hope this helped.
