A LEVEL CHEMISTRY 2023 - TOP TIPS/REMINDERS PAPER 1 (PHYSICAL & INORGANIC)

[@H1-NMR]

we need to see you get your knighthood this month James your a legend 👊🏻

[@fatmabatmaz2]

I think these videos are great for common misconceptions and just summarising everything in general

[@H1-NMR]

These top tips actually came clutch for my mocks last year and so I highly highly recommend everyone to watch this video because it’s a lifesaver Thank you James 🎉❤

You're welcome!

Can you please do one for IAL edexcel ?

[@Twenteen2]

my brother in christ. from this day on I will be binging your content thoroughly in preparation! also how do you make your predictions and how much should i try and focus on what you listed

[@MaChemGuy]

Thank you. I look at the frequency of topics from past papers and predict from that using the logic, the less a topic has been tested, the more likely it is to come up. Like I say in the video, don't just rely on my predictions as I don't know for sure what will be on. I have, however been pretty accurate to date. Hope that helps

[@bimboodekunle4296]

lets do thissss

[@hiamnaima368]

These videos are great thank you a lot. I just have a question. what could they ask in an exam in the 1-3 marks questions on these topics. e.g. why is an excess of KI added? for redox and electrode

[@zayna_1408]

thank you so much for this video, i just wanted to ask 2 questions. How do we know when to flip the e cell that is less positive or flip the reducing agent? And the other one is how do u determine whether the question is talking about an acid buffer or an alkali buffer?

[@hafsaakhtar2563]

An acid buffer will contain a weak acid like CH3COOH and the salt of that weak acid (CH3COONa) whereas an alkali buffer will contain a weak acid in excess and a strong alkali like NaOH which will react together to form a salt and water (this is a partial neutralisation reaction)

[@zayna_1408]

@@hafsaakhtar2563 ahh okay that makes sense, thank you very much

[@lydia7356]

Helpful video, thank you. Quick Q: In periodicity, how do you know whether to talk about shielding effect, atomic radius, nuclear attraction etc or to talk about charges of ions, more electrons, and greater attraction between ions and electrons?? Thank you!

[@TP-mv6en]

for ionisation energy you always talk about shielding, atomic radius, nuclear attraction I'm pretty sure

[@akuawinnie8234]

Thank you ❤️

Very helpful thanks, will there be another one or is there already one for paper 2? Thanks

[@zo.699]

ur a godsend

[@imma_eatjin]

does anyone mind explaining 22:38 to me? why is it the same moles?

[@MaChemGuy]

You can't apply mole ratios across different reaction equations. The I2 formed in step 1 is the I2 involved in the titration

[@zayna_1408]

also what are the factors that affect delta S system and surroundings

I love you

i know how a heterogenous catalyst works but for homogenous catalyst how does it work?

[@missylintoe1674]

For 20:28 is it supposed to be cobalt instead of chromium

[@mayagupta5164]

No

[@hanachoudhry3367]

would the calculation of h+ from a strong dibasic alkali be any different?

[@MaChemGuy]

No, just the [OH-] will be double that of the alkali

[@fatmabatmaz2]

in rate determining step mechanisms are u not allowed to use electrons?

[@J.246]

No u don’t :)

[@TopG20073]

Does these for work extended too?

[@Aot2792]

Is this for AQA or just in general ?

[@J.246]

I do aqa but this is for ocr but helps us too! 😩

[@erikab6760]

Small Q. In the buffer Qs, when do you square root (I believe that's the term) the [H+] and Ka times together? Sometimes you need to for the correct answer and sometimes you don't and I can't tell when I need to or not, thanks.

[@MaChemGuy]

I think you’re thinking of calculating the [H+] of a weak acid. That’s the square root of Ka x [HA]

[@erikab6760]

@@MaChemGuy so you only use the square root for weak acids?

[@MaChemGuy]

@@erikab6760 Yup

Hi sir, quick question. How do you know if a molecule has induced dipole or permanent dipole? Thanks sir :)

[@MaChemGuy]

All molecules have induced, polar molecules also have permanent

[@J.246]

@@MaChemGuy how do u know if something is polar?

[@MaChemGuy]

If it is unsymmetrical or has lone pairs

[@sailormoon9128]

Hiya thank you so much for this video! I was wondering though- do more elctrons in molecules result in stronger london forces formed or more london forces formed between molecules?

[@MaChemGuy]

Stronger as the induced dipoles created with a greater number of electrons are larger

[@charliea169]

what do you mean by 'multiply the delta H values by the number of moles in the equation?'

[@charliea169]

12:04

[@MaChemGuy]

Enthalpy changes are per mole so if there are 2 moles in the equation then you need to double etc

[@legoar8productions]

at 10:43, I thought that ΔH is calculated from -q/mol as opposed to q/mol. Did I make a mistake somewhere? Thanks in advance.

[@MaChemGuy]

I put the sign on at the end. Negative if exo, positive if endo. Just the way I do them

[@fo0426]

I remember it as if the change in temp. is positive in the info given , will be exothermic so negative sign as reaction has released energy to surroundings

[@juicem1ne]

i thought DeltaHsol was hydration PLUS lattice energy ?

[@MaChemGuy]

Nope

quick question, how would you calculate A from an Arrhenius graph if the x axis doesn't start at zero?

[@MaChemGuy]

Calculate gradient, pick a set of coordinates and put into the equation. Solve for A

[@wmfw3804]

Hello, so I was just wondering since we will be given the equations for the redox titrations does that mean we dont need to memorise the ratios e.g. Fe: MnO42- ratio because my teacher said we had to? Thank you :)

[@MaChemGuy]

In every redox titration question I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot!) the equation/half equations have always been given. If you can’t remember the equations you can’t do the question. The Fe:MnO4- and I2:S2O32- systems are specifically mentioned on the specification so it wouldn’t hurt you to remember those two 5:2 and 1:2 but the equations will be there. Have you seen my redox titrations walkthrough playlist? There are 10 different exam questions covered.
