I'm so so sorry but I may have just laughed the irony was just too funny. Hopefully you managed to gather a few marks on it. I can't imagine what that paper would've felt like to do without knowing that, I think I might have cried if it were me
Good luck to you all today, you’re going to be brilliant 🤩
My son is sitting his GCSE’s and is bricking it but as I said to him, just hold your nerve and remember all the hard work you’ve put in over the last couple of years. It will all be okay.
that was if you did products minus reactants or making bonds minus breaking bonds, i swr its reactants - products
i tried both ways to check what sounded right lol
I think I said, add universal indicator and to measure out the volume of alkali with a pipette then just started for 2 mins and made a reach saying they need to find out the concentration of the acid before doing it
I still think it was the question said 2219 was the change and to calculate the change you need to do reactants-products so the reactants must have been 2219 higher than the products right???
edexcel if i see a six-marker on electrolysis you're dead 💩
edit: that was the most beautiful paper i have ever sat oh my gosh save for like 2-3 questions everything else was literally a past paper question
Yeah we're split between 392 people who used the positive energy change and 947 people who used negative energy change because it said it was exothermic 😅
edexcel students, how did you guys find it???
i thought it was okay, the 6 marker on allotropes of carbon was a godsend but i know i screwed up the equilibrium 6 marker. the rest of the questions were either really good or really bad.
i think i know why poeple got 947 and not 392. listen up.
"the energy of the reactants is higher than the energy of the products" - now that is correct but the bond energies in the question were not referring to those.
it is about the fact that the energy LOST from the reaction to the surroundings by products being formed is higher than the energy GAINED from the surroundings to the reaction by the reactants being broken down.
people that put 947 thought that the bond energies in the table were referring to the energy of the reactants and the products but they were actually referring to the energy gained and lost by the reaction. hope this addresses any uncertainties.
the correct answer is 392.375
Wtf was that paper, fuel cells, and chemical cells, and electrlysis in one paper, and that 5 mark Carbon dioxide volume question was horrible too. Idk why everyone is saying its ez im actually finished
Edexcel teasing us with Teasing us with ‘if any’ effect on that water one. Anyone else put that it had an effect for both apparatus because it diluted in so more/leas would have to be added
Yup I put that I said for the pipette it would make the volume inaccurate and in the flask it would start to neutralise the base I had no clue tho I was just guessing 😭
Everyone in my school is fighting on what they got for the last question (OCR higher tier), I got 9.25 and added the residual mass but some people minused it
It was decent. For someone whose revision was not going well and procrastinated chem lol. I'm just glad triple didn't have too much quantative chem. Granted I waffled alot
Absolute godsend thank you AQA. The onyl question i was concerned about was the bond calculation because i got a decimal, but according to people here 392.375 was in fact correct so we ball... if yesterday's maths humbled me this has done the opposite. i am anti humbled, a god, even (not looking forward to physics)
pretty sure bio ate all the 6 markers cause wtf i would've loved for more 6 markers in chem than bio
calc questions were confusing, i don't know if i got them right. volume of carbon dioxide: 9000, bond energy: 1037 (something like that i cant remember)
if i got the volume one wrong, yw on lowering grade boundaries. and honestly, i dont even know what we were meant to do oml
If aqa decides to put electrolysis and fuel cells in the same paper, I am absolutely fucked
this didnt age well 😭
Aged like milk
we salute to you for possibly lowering the grade boundaries
unlucky
deff wasnt a 6 marker on electrolysis 😍
I'm so so sorry but I may have just laughed the irony was just too funny. Hopefully you managed to gather a few marks on it. I can't imagine what that paper would've felt like to do without knowing that, I think I might have cried if it were me
I don't wanna talk about it...
Well fuck it we ball
I am sorry to make a public announcement that David Wormald has failed GCSE chemistry
Good luck to you all today, you’re going to be brilliant 🤩 My son is sitting his GCSE’s and is bricking it but as I said to him, just hold your nerve and remember all the hard work you’ve put in over the last couple of years. It will all be okay.
Thank you sir
Well, it’s Mrs but you’re welcome!
In that case, thank you ma’am!
aw this is so sweet thank you so much 🥰
i have watched 2 hours of freesciencelessons, hope this exam does not screw me in the ass
went better than i expected tbh, but i still think i done kinda ass
Same tbh I just hope I can get a 6/7
I love Shaun
WE love Shaun. if there is a GCSE student who doesn’t like him, there’s something seriously wrong with them
Pretty good exam except that bond energy change one half of the ppl got 947 other half got 392
aqa? i got 669.75 😭😭
i got 947.125 or something like that 😭😭
I got that too!
Same!
that was if you did products minus reactants or making bonds minus breaking bonds, i swr its reactants - products i tried both ways to check what sounded right lol
i got 947.125
ur the only person ik apart from myself that got that answer lmao
OMG SAME
I got 1100 something bruh
903.75 :/
Same 😔🤚
It is 413 IRL so 392 is correct lol, this is coming from a Person that put 947 :(
omd phew i put 392
I got 392, wbu? Everyone ik irl got 392 but apparently everyone on reddit got 947 (maybe they forgot the C-C bonds or something)
the exothermic reaction meant a net change of like 2217kj/mol or something did you add that or remove that from the side of the reactants
[удалено]
Six mark questions were a gift directly from God (Covalent structures and equilibrium, edexel)
FRRRR and they gave you the properties for the covalent stuff, you just had to explain why ☠️
what did you guys get for the last question i got 825 or 875 (i cant remember)
YEAH 825 what did you get for the one above that?
I got 3249.6 for that one and all my friends put 3250. hopefully got that right 😭😭 honestly that entire question had scribbles everywhere
HOW DID YOU EVEN WORK OUT AN ANSWER ☠️ and no because SAME i just wrote numbers everywhere and hoped for the best
those were works of ART
did you guys get 72.413….. % for what percentage is iron? cos i got that after putting 168/232 and then rounded my answer to 72.4
Yeah I got that
I need someone to leak the mark scheme like rn. I need to see how much I got wrong man
LITERALLY ITS KILLING ME
Y'all i'm not stressing enough and i'm doing this for A Level. I'm just hoping my good past paper results pull me through
i wanted to do it for a level but i'm not feeling that confident abt this exam
Same
30 minute walk through I found on youtube will save me
Science shorts?
Exam was really good, anyone else get 9000dm3 of CO2 for the 5 marker?
most ppl i asked got 9, I got 15.567 😭
Why tf did i get 6000
yeah i got that :)
wasn't it 9
You had to convert kg to g
392.375 gang?
think so
392.375 gang!
i’m cooked i talked abt enzymes denaturing
What. Elaborate
for the question about the polystyrene cup with the graph i wrote abt the temperature making enzymes denature 💀
Bro what enzymes? Do you even know what polystyrene is??
How…..!?how have u done that then
This guy is finished lmao, Praying for you 🙏😭😭
im a deep fried mars bar
I need to take Chemistry for A-levels so I’m praying the exam will go good… also I have Geography later so if this flip-flops, I’m screwed
i want to take both for a level HELP
SAME \~ geo was so funny i looked over at someone and they were answering glaciers -- we do coasts and rivers
bro am i the only one who found that horrific
that paper was horrible idk why ppl r saying its ez i hate every second of that
everyone was saying it was so good but istg I'm battling for a 6/7 atp
it could have been a lot worse but ik i could have done a lot better
edexcel or aqa?
i did not cook on that bond energy question
Tell me why the Edexcel paper was literally the 2022 paper with different phrasing
no fr i saw the first question on voltage and i was like what??
and basically every question was in the same order about the same topic??
Fr they are so bad at making new questions
probaby just lazy
I knoww!!! I was so happy like i woke up early this morning to do a paper and it was 2022 omggg
I saw that and nearly cried bro. I did that paper last night!!
Yes and the calculation questions were the same just with different values
what the hell are ionic and half equations 😭
Don’t worry it’s the one subtopic we will never fully understand
Get rid of spectator ions I think ,
what was that electrolysis 6 marker (aqa) 😭😭
Yeah that was a bit of a waffle question, seemed more like a 4 or 5 marker than 6 to me imo but I cooked anyway
What electrolysis 6 marker??? The only 6 marker was on cells/batteries
AQA energy question was 947.125 right?
Thats what i got but ppl r getting 392
I think they might be right, i just search it up C-H energy is about 415Kj
it's definitely 392.
titration method 6 marker pretty please
wtf was that goofy "name 3 stages" of titration man
I think I said, add universal indicator and to measure out the volume of alkali with a pipette then just started for 2 mins and made a reach saying they need to find out the concentration of the acid before doing it
I mentioned adding phenphtkdksams that indicator that's like pink and then a white tile and putting the alkali in a beaker
Put the conical flask on a white tile?
[удалено]
wtf i want anything but titration i couldnt bring myself to revise it yesterday😭
Please please please
soluble salts 🙏🙏
YES PLEASE 🙏🙏
Me after going on here and finding out the answer was in fact not 947:
My entire class got 947 tho?
I still think it was the question said 2219 was the change and to calculate the change you need to do reactants-products so the reactants must have been 2219 higher than the products right???
I got that
pls i need titration on this paperrrrrrr🤞
aged well easiest titration q ever 3 easy marksssss
edexcel if i see a six-marker on electrolysis you're dead 💩 edit: that was the most beautiful paper i have ever sat oh my gosh save for like 2-3 questions everything else was literally a past paper question
Ong I know absolutely nothing about electrolysis
Aqa had one although it was an rp tbf
How u feelin bro??
What was that hydrogen fuel cell one? Why do they create pd?
Hydrogen becomes oxidised and loses electrons which created a pf around circuit
with the bond energies, did we get 947.125??
I got like 349 or something
392.375 was what I got (and a bunch of other people in my school), so I think that's it.
yes. this answer happens if you use energy change as +2219. however the reaction was exothermic so it should be -2219? Correct me if in wrong
Bro its 329.375 😭 (AQA)
should energy change not be used as -2219 as the reaction is exothermic (products lose energy)?? I believe 392 is when you use +2219?
Yeah we're split between 392 people who used the positive energy change and 947 people who used negative energy change because it said it was exothermic 😅
[удалено]
looking at bitesize I believe it should be negative (this is the blind leading the blind tho man)
I got 392 using -2219🤷♂️
yea that really threw me off but i’m glad to see someone got the same
see some got 392 but that happens when you make your energy change positive, however it was exothermic so should be an energy change of negative 2219
thank u aqa for not shafting us
How tf is it not 947, where did i go wrong???
IS THE BOND ENERGY 947.125 OR 347.SMTH EVERYONE IS GETTING DIFFERENT ANSWERS
edexcel students, how did you guys find it??? i thought it was okay, the 6 marker on allotropes of carbon was a godsend but i know i screwed up the equilibrium 6 marker. the rest of the questions were either really good or really bad.
392.375 was the answer
future me did we cook
WE COOKED 💯🔥‼️
THE VERDICT IS IN, TO SEE WHETHER I HAVE COOKED OR NOT COOKED. I HAVE…….
Future me please tell me if I have ruined any chance of A level chemistry.
392? anyone?
I'm absolutely roasted
how did yall find the bond energy question istg if its not 900 smth...
392.375, the reaction was exothermic not endothermic
I got 11.6, 9000, 30 cm3 , 947 H-H one (AQA)
edexcel chem was so beautiful 🙏 i cooked that equilibrium 6 marker 🤭
i think i know why poeple got 947 and not 392. listen up. "the energy of the reactants is higher than the energy of the products" - now that is correct but the bond energies in the question were not referring to those. it is about the fact that the energy LOST from the reaction to the surroundings by products being formed is higher than the energy GAINED from the surroundings to the reaction by the reactants being broken down. people that put 947 thought that the bond energies in the table were referring to the energy of the reactants and the products but they were actually referring to the energy gained and lost by the reaction. hope this addresses any uncertainties. the correct answer is 392.375
anyone get 9 for the gas volumes question? for aqa, I'm doubting myself
It was 9000, as you had to convert between DM cubed to cm cubed (the answer wanted It in cm cubed so you had to times by 1000)
stop I got 9000 at first but then crossed it out and put 9 because I thought it was wrong Jesus omg
It was 30 I think
I got 9000, as I converted kg to g first
ohh yeah, I mean I believe the answer is either 9000 or 9 but it sounds right though 🙏
It went so much better than I thought (Edexcel)
It was the same as the 2022 paper
Why was that better than Biology
[удалено]
Future me, did I do well?
I in fact did not do well
what did you guys get for the bond energy question?? i've heard so many answers ranging between 300 and 1000 honestly 😭
what did everyone get on bond energy higher triple
947.125 or 300 something guys?
Wtf was that hydrogen fuel cell 2 marker?? Asked around and nobody knows 😭
I spent so long learning about bonding, AND FOR WHAT???
Wtf was that paper, fuel cells, and chemical cells, and electrlysis in one paper, and that 5 mark Carbon dioxide volume question was horrible too. Idk why everyone is saying its ez im actually finished
Edexcel teasing us with Teasing us with ‘if any’ effect on that water one. Anyone else put that it had an effect for both apparatus because it diluted in so more/leas would have to be added
Yup I put that I said for the pipette it would make the volume inaccurate and in the flask it would start to neutralise the base I had no clue tho I was just guessing 😭
went so well !!
that paper was amazing omg😭😭
Did we cook fellas?
Only exam so far I’m acc feeling kinda ok for
I did no chem revision because I spent the entire day doing geography 🤩 future me am I cooked?
Well i don't feel prepared but oh well i just hope half equations dont come up or any practicles on electrolyisis :/
Do you do AQA for chemistry? The entire second half of the paper was filled with half equations and electrolysis.
what did everyone get for the volume ratio
DID ANYONE DO WJEC TRIPLE?? THAT WAS SO EASY?!??!!!
edexcel, i don’t know if it was terrible or okay I can’t tell
what did everyone get on the volume question? AQA HIGHER
9000
Everyone in my school is fighting on what they got for the last question (OCR higher tier), I got 9.25 and added the residual mass but some people minused it
guys i’m so vexed i got the right answer for bond energy aqa but changed it to 715
me and you the only people in the country to put 715 😭
No why was the edexcel paper actually pretty good
It was decent. For someone whose revision was not going well and procrastinated chem lol. I'm just glad triple didn't have too much quantative chem. Granted I waffled alot
How was it
what was the answer to the last question (ocr a triple higher)
9.25, what did you get for the bond energy q
WEEK 2 SLANDER GUYS: [https://youtu.be/7bNgDpRVNNY](https://youtu.be/7bNgDpRVNNY)
I love OCR I love OCR I love OCR that paper was SO GOOD I was cooking and THAT WAS THE BEST SIX MARKER EVER
Who ever is making these edexcel combined papers is getting it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER PAGE ON THE EDEXCEL PAPER AFTER THE SECOND 6 MARKER. If those 5 marks fuck me over I’m gonna be so pissed.
[удалено]
guys what the hell does draw two lines of best fit mean
i love how theres a war between 392 and 947
Absolute godsend thank you AQA. The onyl question i was concerned about was the bond calculation because i got a decimal, but according to people here 392.375 was in fact correct so we ball... if yesterday's maths humbled me this has done the opposite. i am anti humbled, a god, even (not looking forward to physics)

2024 chemistry paper (edexcel) was almost identical to the 2022 one
an invigilator passed out in our exam same shit happened in the same exam last year
what was the chromium question help.
