What are the different types of JC Chemistry tuition classes available at your centre?

We have 3 modes of learning for students to choose from: weekly physical classes at Bishan; weekly online lessons via Zoom; and on-demand video lessons.

Are you the only Chemistry tutor conducting the classes or do you engage other tutors to do that?

Please be rest assured that I conduct all my classes personally and I do not engage other tutors to teach at my centre.

How well do your students perform after attending your H2 Chemistry tuition classes?

Most of my students showed improvements by at least 3 grades and more than 80% have attained distinction for A Levels. The earlier the students join my classes, the more confident I am in improving their grades.

What is your class size at Bishan?

Usually the class size is around 10 to 12 students. Max class size is 16 pax.

Is there makeup lesson if I miss a class?

Yes makeup lesson is available in the same week subject to availability. If makeup class is not possible, the student can view the recorded video lessons at Google Classroom.

Do you have trial lesson available? How much is it?

Yes we do. Fees for trial lesson are for Bishan class and for Zoom online class.

Does your centre offer O Level chemistry tuition? Do you teach IB / IP chemistry tuition? How about H1 Chemistry?

Chemistry Guru specialises in H2 Chemistry for JC1 and JC2 or IP Year 5 and IP Year 6 students only. Find out all the information about A Level H2 Chemistry and the detailed comparison between H1 and H2 Chemistry. We do not conduct lessons for H1 Chemistry, O Level Chemistry, IB Chemistry or IP Chemistry at IP Year 3 and IP Year 4.

2020 P1 Q9 - Determine Empirical Formula of Boron Carbide

Let Chemistry Guru, Singapore's renowned JC Chemistry tuition centre, guide you through 2020 A Levels H2 Chemistry Paper 1 Question 9.

2020 p1 q9 question

We are required to determine the empirical formula of boron carbide given the mass analysis of its combustion to form boron oxide and carbon dioxide.

2020 p1 q9 combustion of boron carbide

Notice all the boron in boron carbide is transferred to B₂O₃ hence the amount of boron in 1.00g of boron carbide is equal to the amount of boron in 2.50g of B₂O₃.

Similarly all the carbon is transferred to CO₂ and the amount of carbon in 1.00g of boron carbide is equal to the amount of carbon in 0.80g of CO₂.

We can use the following formula to find out the mass of an element in a known mass of compound.
