Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread I've drafted out my guide to exchange studies and will post soon once I let more things pop into my mind. Can you guys list a few things you want me to cover so I know I have all my bases covered?

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread Turns out my roommate is really homophobic...who reckons I should pretend I'm gay for a month?

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread For geography, they wanted it similar buy they approved one that I just said was similar and that was good enough for them. For chemistry, it needs to be at the right year level (eg CHEM 5XX for 3rd year).

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread Not surprised, but what's surprising is that people that this shit so seriously, considering it doesn't do much anyway...

I'm almost finished with my environmental studies major and if you're interested in environmental policy, DO IT. However, even though you'll cover climate change policy and stuff in almost every class, you'll have to learn about other policies too.

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread Too rapey for me.

You're actually wrong there - it's not "fluctuating". If you draw all the resonance structures, they all exist at once so the actual bonding is an overall average of all the possible resonance structures (some structures contribute more than others).

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread By the way, if you guys are going on exchange, do NOT live in dorms...

Perhaps but I have to say, by international standards, USyd's teaching facilities are among the highest level in the world. I know for sure that it shits all over UW-Madison, by far.

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread Yes.

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread What things would you like me to cover? I'm probably gonna make it more tailored to USA. I'm thinking finances (cost, cards etc), travel tips (how to stuff and other useful tips, accommodation), cell phone stuff/data, short review on cities I visited, tips...

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive NH3 only has 1 lone pair so it can only accept 1 proton so you need 2 protons.

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread UW-Madison

Use a hotplate for everything. You'll find out that you never touch a Bunsen burner once you get past first year university chemistry. Way too many organic solvents are flammable and so the risk is very high when using a Bunsen burner.

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread You guys reckon I should write a full, comprehensive guide for study abroad (focused on USA) when I get back?

Usually lowest SF in the questions but generally, pH is given to 2dp.

The acid+base thing is a really basic general rule referring to H+ and OH- which makes water and is only valid when in solution of water. It's more accurate to say that an acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton acceptor (water production isn't needed). In fact (beyond syllabus), acids are...

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread Because it gives a bad impression...

Re: Semester 2 USYD Chatter Thread So why is the USyd colour scheme so disgusting now? Makes the university look so shit, lol.

Nothing in science is scaled...even CHEM3 isn't scaled and I got b00ked.
