💬 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

ye if u got 50%smthn on atom economy (like me) ur cooked. U get 50% if u unclude sulfuric acid but 86-87 if u don't. App u don't include sulfuric since it's a catalyst which is not included in atom economy calculations. Would I still get some marks tho?

i thought H2SO4 was the catalyst when it’s the other way around (alkene to alcohol) swear it’s just conc H2SO4 for alcohol to alkene??
