Predictions for exam 6-7 mark questions (2 Viewers)

Well, trust me, nothing in HSC chemistry is really that bad - most of it is quite straight forward.

lol cough...last years paper..cough

how about a 7 marker for historical developments ? The history of acids, has it came before ?

They COULD but I think it's just too much rote learning, if anything, they'd ask a 4 marker on 2 of them. Something like comparing Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry.

if its more skills based maybe they'll ask us to design an experiment for something or present an experiment we've done in a strange way [different method/materials etc]?

Those are fucking annoying but I can do them...at least...

 

[madharris]

Hmmm...interesting but personally, it doesn't seem to be a question they would do this year...I feel that the test will be more skills based than rote learning based.

I think this as well. I have noticed that there have slowly been more calculations over the years

There has also been more calculation questions WORTH more.

In the option for industrial chem - i reckon it's gonna be sulfur/h2so4 production and extraction or detergents

Yay i like the production of H2SO4 and detergents do you reckon like anionic, cationic etc. I hope there is question about calculating K, its easy 3-4 marks

Hmm, wouldn't a 7 marker be the development of bio polymers and their suitability?

For h2so4 I think you also might need to talk about the extraction of sulfur and the environmental impacts of it too. They haven't asked about it in a while so I'm getting prepped for it.
as for detergents, that could also be a likelihood as solvay has been tested so many times already. Our question in trials was something about like comparing the detergents with their structure and uses - you also had to know how to draw them and stuff.. it was a 5 marker.

Doesn't that happen a lot?
