Title: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: Mao on April 14, 2009, 10:51:40 pm
I shall begin uploading exams now. Not everything's scanned at this moment, but I will upload what I have. Watch this thread.

[also, this thread will be locked until I finished scanning stuff so all the uploads are in one place :)]

Watch this space.

Jacaranda Study-On Teacher Edition Exam (for the current edition of Study-On Chemistry 2)
If I ever get around to it, I'll make a better version of the suggested solutions.

The NEAP books are always a good place to start. Most schools usually have them in the VCE section of their libraries.

TSFX multi choice question 3
can someone explain why in NH3 the oxidation number of N is -1/3 i swear it was just -3 or maybe im just retarded

same exam multi choice 11
AAS does UV light?
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: TrueTears on June 05, 2009, 09:19:12 pm
same exam multi choice 11
AAS does UV light?
Yes AAS is based on the idea that metal ions will emit the same wavelength of light as they absorb. Some metal ions will emit UV radiation as well (considering enough energy was added so the electron jump is really 'big', ie to a really high energy level, hence it releases more energy when it falls back down to its ground state), as a result you can shoot use UV radiation for that certain sample of metal ion for AAS.
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: arthurk on June 05, 2009, 09:23:41 pm
so due to the fact that ions emit uv light we can say that AAS is based the absorption of visible and UV light
hmmm interesting

Yes because AAS is based on the fact that metal ions will absorb the same amount of energy needed to promote an electron to a higher energy level. Therefore if some metal ions can release UV light, it means they will also absorb it. But obviously you must shoot the exact wavelength of light required.

can someone pls explain to me, how to do the last question (9 c) on the tsfx 2009
exam in english! they have the most retarded working out.
im fine with the K+ bit. just the ppm bit is confusing.
is that bit of the answers correct?

thanx
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: d0minicz on June 07, 2009, 06:04:09 pm
ppm = g/10^6 g
soo basically they got the mass of K+ ions and thats in 25L
25L = 25,000 mL
1mL = 1g
soo thats the mass of K+ ions in 25,000 g
since ppm is 10^6 g
how many times does 25,000 go into 10^6 g
thats 40

soo u times the mass of K+ ions by 40
to get the mass per 10^6 g
which is ppm

umm in regards to C iii question 1 for the tsfx paper
maybe im tired and cant think or something but doesnt the use of the phenolphthalein indicator result in an underestimation as the colour would change too early
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: arthurk on June 07, 2009, 07:11:49 pm
and i got 123% for cii however i looked at the answer it said 126
but then i put their last line of calculation in calculator and i get my answer
whats up with that?
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: mystikal on June 07, 2009, 07:25:44 pm
is the standards of tsfx chemistry papers like way higher of VCAA exams ? if it is then i dont feel as depressed lols, after i did that exam i didnt feel like doing another one lols
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus

lol but why so many
and for the combustion of biodiesel how come the molecular formula for the biodiesel contradicts with the formula of that was produced in the question before that unless what we are 'combusting' is the fatty acid

other than the occasional answers being retarded the exam wasnt too bad i think

Post by: Dark Horse on June 08, 2009, 08:10:02 am
lol, with the phenolphtalein one, I got underestimated too! I was so annoyed, cos I'd written like three lines explaining it ntil I realised!

Yeah, TSFX exams are thought provokingand hard, but I reckon Neap and Insight have a question style which is similar to VCAA
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: Dark Horse on June 08, 2009, 08:16:13 am
Sorry to double post, but with Question 9 Multi Choice on the TSFX Exam, (Chlorine is mixed with propene. How many different compounds are obtained?) the answers say 1, because addition reactions only produce 1 product, but couldnt it be two because isomers are produced?(1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane)? lol any ideas?
Title: Re: Practice exams for the current syllabus
Post by: NandSfan on June 08, 2009, 09:57:50 am
With Q9 - If you mixed HCl with propene, you would get two products (the isomers 1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane), but since you're mixing chlorine gas, you would only get 1,2-dichloropropane. Therefore you only get one product.
