the absorbance is in 2 sig figs, and you need that to calculate the mass.
I'd think 2 is fine
But with that said you can only lose 1 mark for sigfigs over the whole exam, so don't fret too much

Need chem/methods tutoring?

Aww, Question 3b... I thought the answer was amino and carboxyl functional groups as it asks for the 'functional groups that link the monomers in'. I assume i was wrong?

Would marks be allocated for stating that the functional groups linking the monomers together are carboxyl and amine? The question was difficult to interpret..

I know heaps of ppl who said this including me,
not saying cause i said im right, but, its clearly coming out to be very ambiguous...
i perceived it as such, and still do. ;s

Would I still get the mark for writing 35 mg, even though its 1 mg off?

Would the answer for question 1-a-i have been galactose because of the rearangement on the carbon 4 hydroxyl group from the down position to up??  :-\ :-\ :o

You'll probably just lose a mark for an incorrect graph or for reading poorly off of your graph.

I got the graph right, but I was using ratios to determine the concentration - I'm not too sure if I got 35 or 36 for my final answer.
