Anyone else found this laughable?
-
maybe :P
-
yeah. short answer was ridiculously easy. lost 4 marks on this exam.
-
have any of you got a copy i could download?:P
-
THere's a link somewhere. But here it is again :)

thanks man!

LAWL i lost 4 as well. 3 actually, i need to learn to count
Still don't like this question tho, 18:
1-propene reacts with H20
Is this a hydration or hydrolysis? Its both!?.... bad question i think.
Also q1 if you have
then you have to consider the effect of 2 in the oxidation equation.... T.T I usually ignore the coefficients but it not a coefficient is it....
yeah and last question : It can be fermentation as well as a redox/oxidation *sigh* @ solutions.
-
I remember this exam. Yeah, I wrote fermentation and was all wtf when the solutions said oxidation. What should we write on the exam?
And yeah, water plus ethene = hydrolysis, as you are breaking the double bond.
-
Sigh, so close to getting 100 now.
For the exams i think we'll wait for Mao to act as arbiter here.
Question says: What type of chemical reaction is this. Fermentation is as valid as oxidation.
~Alkene + water is hydration or addition. It's not hydrolosis as the molecule is not split.
~I got that one wrong too, for the exact same reason...
~Yeah, either.
I didn't know this. Thanks m@tty :-*. Previously my understanding was hydrolysis = water as a reactant.
Now hydrolysis = water as reactant and splits molecule.
Damn it, in the NEAP book, they say it is hydrolysis. >:(
Lol this is where i was basing my knowledge off!
-
Is it considered hydrolysis?
I thought hydrolysis was just the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.
-
~Alkene + water is hydration or addition. It's not hydrolosis as the molecule is not split.
~I got that one wrong too, for the exact same reason...
~Yeah, either. Though I'd say the more chemist like answer would be redox/oxidation.
-

-
Man it pisses me off when different books say different things. This is our lives they are messing with >:(
-
Q17 is good.
It challenges your preconceptions.
Like i only ever think of an atom as one not as in kagillions. When it asks for number of electrons im like.... yeah 2 electrons :-\
-
You should look at wikipedia more and NEAP less... .....hydration....
What's question 17? Can't be bothered finding this exam...
-
The avagadro constant is the same as the number of
molecules in 16g of oxygen
electrons in 1 g of hydrogen gas
Atoms of 24g of carbon
ions in 1L of 1M sodium chloride solution
-
Oh, I liked that question.. :P
-
just think of it this way, hydrolysis is the exact opposite of condensation
condensation where monomers are joined and a water is condensed out
hydrolysis is the addition of water to a polymer to split it into its monomers
-
the link doesnt work when i print?!
-.-
-
This was the first exam i ever did about 4 weeks ago.
Think i got ~90%
Short answer was a breeze and that hydrolysis one i was like wtf? I've always been told 'any' reaction at all involving water as a reactant could be called hydrolysis.
-
what the shit was with Q18?!
what is hydration????
-
Adding h20 across the double bond
-
is that so..?
where is this in heinemann chem 2?
-
Eh wikipedia it.
heinemann isn't the be-all-end-all of existence.

Goddamn Heinemann...
Ok so simply put, hydration is water molecules being added to a substance... hydrolosis breaks the substance down
-
I went with molecules in 16g of oxygen... I'm screwed -_-
For Q.11 I can only find 3 environments (CH3 on both sides being same) can someone help?
-
It aint symmetrical, so they are all in different environments.
-
I thought hydrolysis was the splitting of water? I would've put hydrolysis as well.
Lucky I came across this thread today!
-
Think of hydration as opposed to dehydration. When your dehydrated you have no water but when your hydrated you have water.
-
STAV 08 is so weird..I can't say its hard its just that the questions they ask aren't really chemistry...
-
can someone run through the yield question for me?
totally suck at yield
>.<
-
say that you calculate that you should get 2g of a molecule, but you only get 1g after your reaction.
you would do amount (in g) obtained *100/ amount calculated possible.
so in this case 1*100/2 = 50%
-
It's the mass you get expressed as a percentage of the mass you expected.
-
I think of it as how "happy I am" percentage.
Like I expect to get 100 marks out of 100 for a test.
But i only get 67 marks.
Iam so i am 67 parts out of 100 happy so 67/100 *100 = 67% yeild of happiness :smitten:
-
I think of it as how "happy I am" percentage.
lolllllll, great analogy :P
-
i just did this, and yes i agree with you martoman, it was ridiculously easy-
exceptt the mark i lost was something i actually didn't know since i keep avoiding going over biofuels - i didn't know that the fermentation reaction of glucose had a 'general name' of oxidation reaction, so unless vcaa is nicer, i lost a mark for saying fermentation;p
it's fine though since the exam is out of 86 :D
-
your happiness yield was 85 / 86 * 100 ?
-
your happiness yield was 85 / 86 * 100 ?
haha pretty much, and i was expected the theoretical yield- but like aspirin that never happens><
