abelkoontz Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Paper 3 tomorrow and I'm worried about section A. What will we get tested on?? Like obviously conceptual things where we needa apply our skills but do you think we'll get questions from Topic 11?Like NMR/IR stuff? Or topic 1 stuff??? I'm stressed.

kw0573 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 HL and AHL topics mainly show up on the data analysis question. For example in May 2016 SL P3, you were supposed to look at IR for O2 and O3 and see that because O3 vibrates in the IR region that it's a greenhouse gas. This is hopefully something you can reason out even if you didn't specifically study for it (like why else would it tell you that O3 vibrates in the infrared?) 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you think they will ask about IR again if they did that already (recently)? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have that prepared just in case... You may be asked to deduce the structure of a molecule using the data from those tests.... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I am so scared for Section A, I mean I'm pretty good with my option but I tend to confuse stuff in Section A. Seeing as I did not really have Paper 3 practice could someone please specify what we have to know for Section A? (I'm SL btw) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm SL btw) for part a it is usually stuff like Global warming, Acid rain, Ozone depletion and for part be it is an experiment possibliy calorimetry, acid base titration, emperical formula experiment, investigating rate of reaction experimentally, voltaic cell working set up and how it works etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IB2017student Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) i think first question is mostly interpreting the data, and the second about what maybe done wrong in the experiment, or some calculation, they can ask about improvements for the experiment. Sorry i am not really sure about the structure Edited May 11, 2017 by IB2017student Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
