I said A I think...that it was added to see if there any sulfate ions still present. None of the others seemed correct to me.queenie said:
As for the oyster question...
It was basically along the lines of: An adult needs 12mg of zinc per day. An average oyster contains 200ppm of zinc. How many oysters are required to fulfil the daily intake of zinc for an adult?

ppm = milligrams/kilogram

I guess the criteria would be 3 marks for identifying dis/(advantages) and 2 for assessing though I presume it's a holistic mark rather than being broken down like that.

Well, I said 200 micrograms (in terms of grams) = 0.2mg but that still got me 60 (which wasn't there), so maybe my 0.2mg was wrong.velox said:
ah rats.
Were the answers something like:
0.2
1.6
17?
cause im starting to think its 17. Anyway, i THINK i put 1.6 I cant for the life of me remember now.
anyway if it was it would be:
1 oyster has 12mg of zinc,
and u need 200 mg of zinc, so:
oysters would be : 200X1 /12 = 16.6 ~ 17 bloody oysters. Damn arg, i cant remember...

Hangon hangon....it was the other way around...
You need 12mg, the oyster has 200ppm zinc.
Options were: 0.2, 12, 6 and 1.7 from memory though I'm unsure about the 12.

hmmm 200/(1000 * 10) = 0.02g in each oyster. So they need 600 oysters....(hmmm)
How did you get 0.2mg?

You mean in success one? Maybe it wasn't cos i did so many past papers today. Must have been in a past paper if its not in the success one book.

I said 200ppm = 200 micrograms (i.e. 200/1000000 of a gram)velox said:
But 200 micrograms = 0.2mg
Well, you got 600 and I got 60. The only answer close was 6. Though, again I may be wrong.

Sorry hasty mistake there. 0.02g = 0.2mg. So they need 60 oysters..... Hmmmmph again.

0.02g is 20mgvelox said:
But yet we have reached no logical answer. I highly doubt that the examiners could have made an error, but anything is possible. I'm still none the wiser.

thankgod for that combustion question !!! i got around 300
well -300 but the negative indicates exothermic
Like i said, i put 0.2 oysters
12mg per day
one oyster contains 200ppm
12/200 = 0.06 so to reach the minimum, just the 0.2 would be sufficient = I don't know tho
i wasn't taught ppm really, tho i was under the assumption that its ppm = 1mg/l

0.02 grams = 20 milligrams. Another truncation error lol.
