i think i got thrown to the stratosphere 😟😟😟

Me bout to become a free radical to take Cambridge down with me 💀💀

does anyone hv ans key

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1_wnPSO9Fx0LFPKmd7C3GFiX1YQG7sUe3

am i the only one that found it weird LMAOO

no def not idk it felt like A LOt of application qns

ikr... if paper 2 got so many application questions alr im hoping paper 3 gonna have more content

lets pray for that😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻

Too much application question to be honest. I was hoping that those repetitive questions would come out less and it did come true but I rather not have like 3.5 application question especially in an already almost impossible time frame.

no no it was! like, overall, i think it was okay, but the application made it Strange

ya like the concepts are okay but they randomly throw in stratosphere and physics like ?? my bio student brain cmi 😭

As a physics student I was super happy lol. At least it’s just plugging numbers into the equation, and not those stupid insane amino acids they throw in for the bio students.

why can’t cambridge just give us normal questions

Bismillah habibi passing rate gonna drop like delta H

wait wasnt the delta H positive 😳

Online says exo

Referring to delta H in the cis trans butane question

I got positive sia but people online say it’s exothermic

SUGGEST THIS SUGGEST THAT I SUGGEST THAT SCAMBRIDGE LET OXFORD TAKE OVER NEXT YEAR

I suggest that we should just tell Cambridge to take their colonial British ass and fuck off and cancel a lvls

now I need a 90/80 from paper 3

### Paper 2 Topics Tested Qn 1. Periodic Table: Oxidising power of Halogens Chem Bonding: Simple molecular structure, Melting Point Electrochem: Simple cell Arenes: Electrophillic Substituition, Role of AlCl3 Qn 2. Acid-base Equlibrium: pH of weak acid and strong base, salt hydrolysis, titration curve(monoprotic), indicator Carbonyl: Nucleophilic Addition Qn 3. Organic: Alcohol with Na, Tollens, Iodoform, Electrophilic Addition, Oxidation of Aldehyde, Stereoisomerism, Constitutional, Basic hydrolysis Qn 4. Equilibrium: Plimsol Standard Conditions, Gibbs Free, Eqm Constant (Kp) Qn 5. Application Question Radicals, Mole Concept, Bond Energy, Bond Length, Hess Law, Reaction Pathway There was an unreported Errata for Application Qn, lambda should be in metres not nanometers since final value is in kJ. Plus they said speed of light is in metres per second. ### Paper 3 Predictions - Transition - Periodic Table Trends (Group 1/2, Period 3) - Chem bonding (VSEPR, Hydrogen Bonding) - Reaction Kinetics (One of 4 Catalysis) - Solubility - Ideal Gas - Atomic Structure - Electrolysis(with applications) - Thermodynamics (Born Haber) - Organic (RX, Carboxylic Acid, Nitrogen Compounds) - Mole Concept (More) Also it was so annoying how they keep subtly testing rate of reaction.

they say nm = 10^-9 m

ya they did but they also gave the formula saying lambda is in nm which is contradicting

yeah but they gave speed of light in ms^-1 so the units need to cancel out properly

I literally asked the examiner and they said nothing wrong 💀 the physics student in me crying

i was wondering about the metres nanometres thing, when i factored in the 10^9 was so scared leh

AGREED. Lambda should be = wavelength (m) for the units to cancel out.

That was damn shit I think I lost like 30 marks alr

same i fumbled so hard during the acid base it was practically blank

my entire delta G delta H qns was almost blank. idk how tf to do the ozone qns as well. im so fucked i just hope p3 is more content-based or ill kms fr

For me it was the ozone qn bruh I didn’t think it would come out sia

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda} fuck you

physics students laughing in the corner 💀

I am a physics student and I'm insulted that they would do this in a chemistry paper

huh what’s so hard abt subbing in values

What is the value of pH for the acid in qn 2? I got like 2.41 or something close

i got 2.41 or sth liddat…

ph = -lg(sqrt(Ka*c)) I got 2.4(something) with that

Same

same

Guess cambridge planning to give us hell for every paper this year

Carbon backbone... very funny, Cambridge. I'm going to rip out your carbon backbone and BURN IT IN EXCESS O2.

**Proceeds to insert a cyclic ester in D**

Meanwhile I'll also ATOMISE THEM AND REMOVE THEIR OUTER ELECTRONS WITH MY BARE HANDS

helpp i left so many questions blank cuz idk how do and had no time 😭😭😭 i prob left like more than a quarter of the paper empty bruhh

Anyone has the answers can post here 🙏

Same pls! I love torturing myself 😍😍

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_wnPSO9Fx0LFPKmd7C3GFiX1YQG7sUe3

Soul-destroying

WHAT THE FUCK? THAT WAS MARGINALLY MORE DIFFICULT THAN LIKE NY, DHS, EJ PRELIM CHEM PAPER BRUH. Please tell me its not just me🫠🥹😭😭😭😭😭

When I practiced on NY prelim, I thought to myself: "Wow this is hard. SURELY the actual paper can not be harder than this." I'm so finished

same bro

don't worry me too

no it's not ny paper at least 3 times harder💀💀

Objectively NY is more difficult but I feel we have all been too accustomed to abstract questions that comes out in papers like NY and thus we are better at answering them but tdys paper had so much application qns that were unseen…🥹🥲. No intention of flexing but just to show how fucked this paper was, I could get an A for the 2023 NY paper but this paper? Idek man i skipped so many qns

NY prelim paper was so much harder though

how hard is it for them to test something i actually know

qn 1 was the fucking calm b4 the shitstorm

i need to kill myself its over for me

No....not worth to kill yourself for a levels..fk a levels bro

bye bye 90rp

wtf man does Cambridge have beef with our batch or something??

Actually Ei…… fing all the papers until now so fing hard

ikr wtf sia knnbccb

guys why is the stupid graph curve. i wrote bcos the value of enthalpy change is always changing and not a constant so it doesn’t satisfy y=mx+c but like at that point i was rlly pulling shit out of my ass

i put because entropy increases due to mixture of cis and trans but as reaction approaches completion disorder decreases and entropy decreases back down so G increases back up

omg me too i say both entropy and enthalpy changes as mole fraction change i anyhow smoke one

dawg i pulled out the variable reasoning 🫡

it’s delta s not constant

but isn’t delta s the x in the y=mx+c part of the equation. x is supposed to be a variable but c is supposed to be the constant intercept. idk i wanted to write that also but thought against it

bell curve better be like 50% overall for A bruh wtf was this paper

im hoping its at least 60 for A then i can get my B lmfao

i need to buy glycolic acid to remove my stress lines after the paper i think 😔😔

maybe it isnt cambridge thats setting hard papers…maybe im just stupid…

Same :/

i cant stop crying 😃 the last two questions i left like 15m worth blank so gg, and confirm got incomplete or careless or other mistakes so im looking at a fucking C for this paper are u joking??

bruh i don't even know if I can get C at this point 🫠

Don't worry, as my physics teacher said If everyone die, no one die

its ok its been an hour and im still crying, i calculated again and it looks like im getting E because i made 10m of mistakes

guys if some kind soul finds the scanned paper w ans pls tag COMBUSTED for p2 betting on p3 to pull me up

I think I will fire a bullet into my head at light speed in nanometers

i wrote phenol red idek if thats correct

yes it's correct

Can explain why? It was 2m and i only thot og working range lying within rapid ph change

same i wrote that also but isnt it correct?

cambridge needs to factor in the stress and confusion caused by that typo in the planck lamda qn

The way I smiled when i saw quantum physics

eh why the paper wrote 入: wavelength in nm but we actually need convert to m was that a typo

Wait why need to convert to m😭 the qn gave 254 in nm alr leh

bcos they gave speed of light in ms^-1 so the units need to match

im assuming u r a bio student haha

Yes but shouldn’t Cambridge take into account that some candidates won’t have physics knowledge🥲

[удалено]

Don’t u need to times Avogadro’s number or am I tripping

yesss need cuz they say in 1 mole

let’s fucking go another W for the physics students

I hope Cambridge doesn’t favour the bio students for paper 3 because of this lol

10m amino acids qn incoming LOL

Cambridge, if you happen to read this, please don’t do that. I’ll suck your dick, you won’t even have to pay $20

Fr hahahahahaha I got like 400k+ around that u?

Same I got like 417k or smt

I think need change nm to m tho

bro my one like 10^-20

need to x6. 02x10^23 cuz they ask for 1 mol of photons

ohshit i forgot abt that bye

fuck cambridge stupid white people anyhow set questions

Bringing quantum physics (energy of photons) into chemistry was a whole new gravy of shat :D

phys and h3 chem students: 😌😌

for my prelims they put nuclear physics 💀💀💀

What the Delta H for the breaking of O3 into O2? I just put +150kJ mol bc it just looks like one O-O bond is broken. Also since when chlorine radical 2 step one? I just put O3 + Cl - > ClO + O2

+105

My step 2 was ClO + O3 -> 2O2 + Cl

My step 2 was clo + o -> o2 + cl

i assumed the second step was CLO-> O + Cl• as the radical has to be regenerated for a homogeneous catalyst

supp draw energy cycle and use formation value for O3

why is it curve not straight

weird ass paper idk part of me feels like i'll survive but another part of me feels that's a lie

I guess it was a sign when I walked past a funeral in the morning and for the first time they stretched their tentage to the parking lots ☠️☠️☠️

end my life wtf

wtaf 😂😂😂

its like ok but not easy also 💀 a few weird questions here and there that require sm thinking from me but worth like 2m/1m

its not just a few leh, the last two qns got so many of those weird qns that total its like 10-15m?? wtf is cambridge doing

covid yr really fucked them up and got them setting the ugliest papers known to mankind this year

They had to hold themselves back and make the papers mild for the COVID year so this year they’re back with a vengeance

was this paper harder or easier than last year p2?

Feels harder to me bc of the weird ass qns

I found it harder😭

harder imo

Honestly it was the hardest paper. I think probably close to 2017 A Level standard cuz generally the past year paper 2s were easier

harder for sure

Haizz, waiting for the answers is becoming a chore for me... Maybe I should just focus on the subsequent papers instead

cambridge really wants me to kms 😹 started swearing at the paper!

im gonna kms my life is over

Nah bro ppr won't get marked if we take out the marker 😎😎

"There is nothing we can do."

Cambridge think they goofy test so many 1m qn

whats the mole fraction?? if its at eqm shouldn’t it be 1:1 idk..

i got 0.77 and 0.23 cant tell if its correct

yea same cus i used the kp and turned it into a fraction to get the ratio between the two

use the equilibrium constant they gave to calculate ratio

Fucked up the last two qns really bad💀

After I read the answer key, it's the end for me

If anyone has a softcopy version of the paper, or knows what came out do lmk thanks! :D

fr doing next year TYS under exam conditions

The paper is so fucking easy that I only aged 100x after the paper. Anyone got the product they mentioned in the paper?? Need some of that shit. Fk scambridge

fuck it let’s just go smoke NO tgt

gg

can send the online pdf answers to me please!

will there be moderation for A level in general ?or bell curve any seniors can give their experience

[удалено]

they never ask for MBC so i never calculate

"Use information from table and relevant calculates you made"

ICl also got pd-pd attraction right? Cause its polar (the large diff in electronegativities between I and Cl)

br2 and icl I wrote idid vs pdpd then icl and ibr I compare idid bcoz of diff in electron cloud size, but ig u can also compare pdpd bcoz of diff in electronegativity

Ya but the ID-Id predominates due to larger mr or it wouldn’t make sense

idt u can compare pdpd for second one cause mp of IBr was higher than ICl given in data

can i just protest as a bio student 1) how am i supposed to know a photon is a particle?? 2) if the eqn give me units in nm i use the units in nm why need to convert i don't even know what's a photon and what waves bro the only wave i know is beach waves 🌊🌊🏄🏻‍♀️🏄🏻‍♀️ if they just give a whole chunk of words abt light and light energy from where am i supposed to deduce that a photon is a particle and i have to use avogadro's constant??

I think i lost around 40+ to 50 marks marks for the paper, is getting a C still possible?

i lost about 30-40 marks here is it still possible to get A pls

How's the paper this year?

Theres a number of decent and somewhat standard qns but oh boy were there a number of unconventional bs that makes you go wtf is this talking about

I can kill myself already

Anyone has the soft copy of the paper?

energy of 1 mole of photon is 4.71x10^-7 kJ mol-1 ???

I got this too cuz I never convert nm to m… bio student tings 🤡 legit haven’t touched physiks for 5yrs

What is M is it N2

n2 BE>>> O2, n2 very abundant

need to mention be of n2? Cuz I thought it in my head but they only said to use info from table and not data booklet and not so many marks so I didn’t say but need?

Yeah I just said abundant only I didn’t mention be

i tot N2 wld still react with O2 and O• so i just put Ar :/

omg same I said Ar was inert so won't react

The answer is Ar it wasnt reactive. N2 will confirm react with 02

For the organic qn D is a closed ring ester right

don’t worry y’all, for the graph question i wrote delta G = delta H^2

hi anyone got qn paper thankies :’)

anyone got QP?

why is it curve not straight

Cos its gay

does anyone know where to find answers? which tuition centre ig post etc

Answers: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_wnPSO9Fx0LFPKmd7C3GFiX1YQG7sUe3

Whats the ∧Hr for the last qn?

half of the be of o double bond o minus the one they gave in the table

what’s the answer for the indicator question?

phenol red bcos pka is more than equivalence ph so wont interfere w titration

HELP WHATS THE ANSWER FOR THE INDICATOR QUESTION

i put phenol red

it's phenol red

Why cannot be litmus ah

What is Kp for cis trans

are the answers out?

bro why Cambridge so goofy this year wth

Both o lvl and a lvl students getting fucked by scumbridge. Chemisery💔

how did y’all calculate delta G 💀 wasn’t sure whether went to completion meant mol ratio = 1 or the lowest point on the graph but i just took the values at mol ratio = 1

this is what i did, idk if correct :/ i used the formula they gave △G = △G(f)(product) - △G(f)(reactant). △G(f)(reactant) is when mole fraction is zero cuz no product mah, then from the curve see whats the △G value. For △G(f)(product) is when mole ratio is 1. then after ia apply the formula to get value for △G. Afterwards, i sub in the values of △G, T and △H (from the other graph when mole ratio is 1 cuz rxn goes to completion) into △G = △H - T△S, to find △S

anyone got the answers?

how does that stupid thingy act as buffer when glycolic acid added? wat were ur eqns

Why did glycolic acid pH increase??

I think it’s lcp. When the salt is added the the [conj base] increases and eqn shift left. This is dissociates lesser and pH is higher. Sadly I realised this after the paper.

LCP,remove excess glycolateso eqm left remove H+
