Anyone done it?  Is it worth doing?

Definetly worth doing. Engaging questions, with some challenges here and there.

Its alright.. I felt some questions were a bit irrelevant to our course though. THere are some challenging questions

oooo awesome thanks, i may check it out! there seems to be a few spectro/chromo questions as i just flicked through which are good cos of the likeliness of bigger questions this year on these.

Questions I felt were irrelevant:

MC Q1. Electrical conduction thingy was more unit1/2 and unit 4

SA Q1a - I dont even understand the question, I could be just dumb though but I could understand all the VCAA and trial exam questions.

SA2b whats amu? its not even in the databook


However these was the questions I felt were well written

Question 2c and d
Q3d
5b

^ yeah, i looked at question 1 and saw that electrical conduction stuff, and was like, we haven't learnt this.  ceebs!

Nice exam. Some MC are just o.0 but the rest seems quite decent.


AMU is atomic mass units, it is the units of mass of *one* molecule. Each unit represents the mass of one proton/neutron/H+.

Ionic compounds do not have a molecular formula as they form a lattice, and the extent to which this forms varies. So there is no molecular formula, only an empirical formula, which identifies the ratio in which elements are present in the lattice. (I think...)

Thanks for that. We appreciate any and all feedback. Most of those concerns will be addressed in the solutions released tomorrow. In regards to question SA2b, amu stands for atomic mass units. Using amu wasn't meant to be a 'trick' or anything, that's just the unit in which molecular weight is measured by. It is equivalent to molar mass in the sense that a molecule with a molecular weight of 332.0 amu has a molar mass of 332.0 g/mol. Sorry for the confusion there.

Sorry about Q1 being a bit tougher in that you have to remember the relation between ionization and electrical conduction - please don't let that detract you from trying out the rest of the paper!  ;)

With multiple choice question 1 the wording is confusing. I assume when you refer to "these" you are talking about the options given? Because when I first read it I thought you were talking about the conjugate of the conjugate...

Quote
The Lowry-BrØnsted acid-base conjugates for the following species were isolated and dissolved in
pure water. Which of these would produce the conjugate base with the greatest electrical conductivity
when it ionises in water?

Are you asking which of the options has the conjugate base with the greatest electrical conductivity?

On a side note, is it just me or does KBT kind of remind you BTK, the mass murderer guy in the USA?
