You're honestly a savour, my paper 2 is tomorrow and I'm speeding through your videos. I've never understood this before and struggled with remembering all the required mechanisms. I actually feel like I have a chance to pass now. Thank you

[@easymodeexams33]

Good luck :)

[@ShaynaYasmeen-e8p]

Sir as there is time left for the exam please make more videos like this. I just love how you style your videos and your explanation is amazing. Please make videos about organic chemistry A levels such as hard subjects like amines in A2, condensation polymers. You can even focus on the required practicals and what we need to know for each if u want. I just want to thank you SO MUCH for your hardwork and the amount of time you put in this videos. I am for sure going to recommend you to other people. Thank U!!!

[@easymodeexams33]

I really appreciate the kind words Shayna :) I will try, but I'm not a teacher and really limited with time atm so trying to focus more on the topic analysis videos. We will see though 😉

[@marijabrauceja]

I love this channel! Thank you so much for your work!

[@easymodeexams33]

Thnx :) no worries, good luck!

[@ukiyo201]

ur a life saver thank you so much man

[@E.hmiles]

This guy is godly

[@katheriner6456]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@peachtea532]

thank you so much for these videos! ive been going through all of your videos during this last week of revison for paper 1 :) if you can, please make more videos on electrochemistry because i never get marks on any of those questions,, again ty!!!!

[@easymodeexams33]

I have a couple electrode potential/electrochemistry vids on the channel, have u checked them out? if so, is there anything you struggle with specifically? It's a heavy redox knowledge topic tbh

[@AelHydrangea]

Thank you so much for your videos, they're so helpful! I hope you gain more subscribers because you really deserve it, thank you so much

[@easymodeexams33]

I'm glad you find them helpful, thnx for your kind comment :)

[@ada9994]

Thanks for the video I really like what you've done with your channel.

[@easymodeexams33]

thanks :)

[@arya3636]

thanks u actual legend appreciate u! last exam today hopefully goes well :)

[@easymodeexams33]

I hope it did go well :)

[@gaanavmanyam9214]

Could make videos on graph skills and interpretation,please?

[@studyingforreal4486]

This video is amazing! Just a bit of criticism though, you forgot to mention that carboxylate salts are used in soap, which is something you need to know (its in the spec)!!!

[@easymodeexams33]

Good point, thanks! This was my bad, I may remake this video when I have time. good luck!

[@alevels386]

Thank you so much this was super useful

[@easymodeexams33]

happy to help :)

[@ahmadqayum5672]

Hi. Great video as always. Could you do an AQA walkthrough on an esters question if possible please? Thanks :)

[@easymodeexams33]

There aren't really any purely esters questions tbh, and if there are they're simple so I don't think it will be that helpful. It's mainly joint with other aspects of carboxylic acids topic like acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides etc.

[@ahmadqayum5672]

@@easymodeexams33 fair enough. Thanks man

[@user-xd1yf6ie5x]

could you do more exam walkthroughs please? you explain very well

[@easymodeexams33]

Sure, I plan to :) Are there any topics you struggle with specifically? It is quite difficult with the copyrighting exam board have put on their content, but I will try my best

[@Ganothic]

Hello! At 27:31, for question 4, can we say "Carboxylic acids and alcohols contain hydrogen bonding, whereas esters contain dipole-dipole forces. Hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole forces. Therefore, it requires more energy to break the hydrogen bonds. Hence, esters have lower b.p" ?. Great video!

[@Izydee_IZD]

Very helpful, thanks alot

[@easymodeexams33]

no worries, good luck!

[@lamiyakhokon890]

i thought because acid catalyst you need to make esters is conc h2so4 hence the hydrolysis process should also need conc h2so4. am i wrong?

[@easymodeexams33]

for hydrolysis in acidic conditions, H2SO4 is fine instead of HCl, but it MUST be dilute, not conc. :) you can read up more about it on chemrevise or chemguide if u want www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/esters/hydrolysis.html

[@alaziziomar_]

make a video on polymerisation please!!

[@jameslee3914]

could you do one video explaining transition metal? struggling to understand it.

[@easymodeexams33]

just released one today on every transition metal ligand substitution, plus some extra info :) hopefully that helps. Will do my best to release more before paper 1. There are also multiple past paper transition metal question walkthroughs

[@jameslee3914]

@@easymodeexams33 Thank you sir, also I have been getting questions wrong for the electrode potentials and cells topic. I'm not sure if my knowledge is lacking, could you also do a video on that and on bonding topic ?

[@umayyahosman2004]

During esterification, isnt it that the OH comes from the carboxylic acid and just the H from the alcohol? Thank you

[@trxnqui]

why was he laughing at 20:20 loooooooool

[@lucybranston]

How come you didn’t include the reaction between acid anhydrides and alcohols to form esters ?

[@easymodeexams33]

that isn't under this section of the specification, it is under acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides, I have made a video on those reactions and mechanisms

[@Nickuxx7]

chill with the adds

[@easymodeexams33]

youtube automatically puts them through the video, I've deleted a bunch
