    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    For this one I'm a bit iffy on it and did it this way: 0.200 absorbance/5 ppm = absorbance of 1 ppm of nickel 0.500/absorbance of 1 ppm of nickel = number of ppm of nickel in the second solution so I got 12.5 ppm 12.5/1000000 x 100mL = amount of nickel ions in 100 mL when reacted with...

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    20mL of 15M H2SO4 50mL of 2M HNO3 100mL of 0.00001M HCl H2SO4 -->2H+ + SO4 2- 0.02L (20mL) x 15M = 0.3 moles of H2SO4 H2SO4 ratio with H+ 1:2 Hence 0.6 moles of H+ produced (theoretically, though ionisation of HSO4- is highly dependent on concentration and rarely occurs). HNO3 -->...

    Best method of practising maths?

    I'm starting year 12 soon, so I wanna make the best of these holidays. Currently maths is one of those subjects which I have neglected in 9 & 10, and sadly it's come to bite me back on the @$$. One of the main issues with it is that I don't practise enough (obviously) but when I do, I feel that...

    How to tell parents you didn't make it into 4u

    Just say that you didn't want to do 4U, I mean, no one can tell the difference....right? Edit: On a more serious note, I heard somewhere that theoretically your school cannot prevent you from doing a subject and that you can just ring BOS up to get it fixed or something, can anyone confirm this?

    Atar question

    Basically what Seventhroot is trying to say is that BOS only looks at the internal rankings and the relative gap between each of the ranks. The actual marks of your HSC exam is determined by the external exam, in which the highest external exam mark will be used as the highest internal...

    Another 99.95 thread...

    Psshh Astroman stole that quote off me :3 But to OP, 99.95 is not solely dependent on intelligence, it's the ability to maintain consistent studying throughout the year and a bit of luck during your exam periods :3

    Yr11 Chem Q

    For determining molar ratios etc, from past experiences, I've learnt that you rarely go into the components of molecules and its ratios, unless it asks for something in relation to the molecular weight or the percentage of a certain molecule i.e. so you rarely if ever, need to think that...

    Yr11 Chem Q

    NOTE:When I write M after a numerical value, it stands for Moles/L, so concentration form. 1. Write out the balanced equation: Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaI (aq) --> PbI2 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq) 2. Plug in all the given info: 0.1M 0.1M 3. Most important step (probably), find...

    "What would be the total amount of gas produced when 400g of charcoal is reacted, assuming equal amounts are consumed in each reaction", so when they say this, they mean that the maximum amount of charcoal used is 400g, hence when they say "equal amounts are consumed", like previous posts...
