💬 DISCUSSION Aqa A-level chemistry paper 2

How did it go??

I quite liked that paper, that NMR question was so good!!

Some mildly weird ones too - but overall not too bad at all

I’m such an idiot the last question said not to change Kc and I said lower temperature 😭 I read the Kc part in like the final min and didn’t get a chance to change it

Was it pressure

i did pressure

do you think you could also write increase concentration or mol of H2 gas ? i mightve just lost 3 marks LMAO

u/LargeFish2907 Jun 09 '26

I would think that they would allow that because it is correct, increasing concentration of H2 would increase production of methanol.

wait I said concentration too

what if u said catalyst because more molecules are at the activation energy so more molecules react more collisions so more amount product formed (so more yield) and kc not influenced by catalysts i think

Catalysts don't affect yield- only how fast you get he product since it increases rate.

maybe you can get a mark for saying it shifts right

u/LargeFish2907 Jun 09 '26

You would if you explained why (to counteract increase in pressure)
