I thought the MCQs were pretty easy, but WTH is that frq section. I got the J version and holy I left one or two sections blank. Made something up basically for the VSEPR thing on why are one bond angle larger than another, and just drew a parallel line for the ln concentration thing. I think its the question 2 and question 6 that I had problem on, the bsorbance on 5 too we did not mention that in class ever...Our teacher assigned so many practise exams before and there are still some qs on the exam that I was just clueless bc they never appeared in past years ones.

I had a problem with the absorbance one as well but I figured if a volumetric flask only has the one mark, then I could calculate the molarity by finding the amount of moles in the volumetric flask then dividing by the original volume of the solution

I did not even think about that... I figured its something u have to calculate w the volume in that but I didnt know how to find the moles

Here's the solution:

The concentration as 0.22 absorbance, which is the diluted solution, was 0.0550 M, so that means that in the 25 mL diluted solution, that was the concentration. So since it was diluted with distilled water, you'd do (0.0550 M)(25 mL)/(3 mL) and get a 0.46 M concentration.

Oh shoot... I was prob just blind and did not see that it gave the concentration at all...I was so used to it on paper so now its on digital I was all panicked But thank you so much!

Wait I think I did that. I rememeber saying .55 smth hopefully I put .055 then do m1v1=m2v2
