do you think I can get one mark for writing the dissociation equation for last q or no?
Often for a 4 mark calculation question you can get 1 mark for 'some relevant information', 2 for 'provides some steps of the calculation', 3 for 'provides most steps of calculation' and obviously 4 is getting it correct. So i would guess you would get a mark. probably 3 for those of us who forgot to subtract and got .53 or whatever it was. actual answer 0.39 im pretty sure

in the second last question how many marks would I get if I calculated the mass of the halogen and found it to be bromine (but later on wrote the wrong compound writing F - idk how I ended up doing that) and I got the structures of A and B (except the Flourine part) but not E with the correct justifications for A and B?
probably lose 1 mark for swapping Br with F ( they should be able to see what you meant to do but cant give you all the marks obviously). maybe 3 or 4 out of 7 in total if you didnt get anything to do with compound E? idk really tho

Yeah probably 3. would be 4 for getting the first two correct but -1 for swapping the halide. Did you write anything about E or what it can/cant be? bc that will sometimes get you an extra mark

Q35 was "Identify which structures 1, 2 and 3 in the table are acids X, Y and Z. Justify your answer with reference to the information provided." Surely we dont have to refer to it all, they gave so much info that you didn't really need
Well hopefully they don't mark too harshly for that - sucks since I got everything right just forgot abt doing that stuff

I only said that it goes through reflux and is the products of an alcohol and carboxylic acid which is esterification so E is an ester and then I ran out of time.

I think that would be 1 more mark, and if you explain what the numbers in the h nmr just meant than that would have been another mark. So probs 4/7
