Title: What did everybody get for metal X (last question)?
Post by: bentennason on November 13, 2012, 01:57:34 pm

What did you guys get for metal X? My chemistry teacher got Magnesium but half our class got nitrogen.... so I'm not sure. Btw I got nitrogen as well.

If I write Pb instead of Lead, will I lose mark? :/

100 % lead, because the metal needs to have charge of 2+

N isn't a metal...
And I'd be worried if your actual teacher got Magnesium.

(Lead for sure)

Under pressure I multiplied by 2 the first time I did the question and got chromium, which fortunately I realised was wrong given chromium ions have an oxidation number of +3 haha, and X ions needed to be +2.

Was definitely lead though. No offense to the people who answered with gases but that is kinda funny :P Totally understandable given exam pressure, don't beat yourself up too much (:

Hey if I multiplied by 2 but then used that answer to work out molar mass in the next part what mark will I get for the last part if I got chromium due to consequential marking??? I'm sooooo stupid!!!!!!

did we have to say lead II or was lead just okay?

Post by: cricketstar on November 13, 2012, 11:28:53 pm

just lead would've been fine i think

Yay, I got lead! That should mean I sured up 5 (at least 4) marks I was unsure about

Oh, that makes me feel tonnes better, because I sometimes find that under pressure, I stuff up math related question because I forgot  divide or multiply or used 0.5mol instead of 0.05mol to find concentration, which I believe I did in the mid-year. I felt so pissed off with myself after that. Silly mistake.
