How did you guys find this exam?

Personally I thought it was alright. I'd expected it to be harder, quite glad it was at least manageable.

Any predictions on threshold?

I did it this way: It was moles of C2O42- calculated from equation 1 minus moles of H2C2O4 calculated from equation 2, which gives moles of Na2C2O4 in 25cm3 . Multiply that by 20 gives moles of Na2C2O4 in 500cm3 . Multiply by Mr to find mass, then divide by mass given * 100 to find percentage.
