    Weak Acid + Strong Base ???

    It goes to completion because it's a neutralisation reaction. All neutralisation reactions (base + acid, regardless of strength) is a forward reaction that produces a salt and water. The salt can then further dissociate / react with water to produce hydronium (making it an acidic salt) or...

    So what happens after trials?

    ^ ? When do we fill out the UAC stuff? Did you guys find school to be a lot more chill? What should I be expecting lol. Trials just finished and I'm bored.

    HSC 2012-2015 Chemistry Marathon (archive)

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive No, I lost a mark because I included the (aq) subscript. They said the equation wasn't necessary. And yes, but by extension, the solute will be able to dissociate into free ions. "An aqueous solution is one that is occurring in water. What makes water...

    HSC 2012-2015 Chemistry Marathon (archive)

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive http://imgur.com/RjSSKRJ Marking criteria said it is a forward reaction- but I completely agree with you. Aren't weak acids always in equilibrium? Or did Arrhenius say something about this?

    HSC 2012-2015 Chemistry Marathon (archive)

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive Guys, If you were to write an equation to dissociate acetic acid, how would you do it? Because I thought that most acids and bases (all of the HSC prescribed) were aqueous, but isn't it redundant to say: CH_3COOH_{(aq)} -> CH_3COO^-_{(aq)} + H^+_{(aq)}? (yes...

    Water Chem Question

    +1, my bad ahaha. Assumed OP was a 2016'er doing the water topic in prelim (prolly cos of the title) Yiis, so a (slightly) more indepth explanation of Librah's answer is that when an equilibrium encounters a temperature, pressure or concentration change (generally we talk about those three...

    Water Chem Question

    Yoooo Temperature will increase solubility of the substance. This is because an increase in temperature leads to an increase in kinetic energy (since temperature is really just average kinetic energy of the molecules). Since molecules are vibrating fast and moving more quickly, they're more...

    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon @ the supply of AUD question. Found a paragraph in Riley's textbook but don't understand why it works the way it does: "The supply of the AUD is derived from the demand by Australians for foreign goods and services and the purchase of foreign assets." Why is it...

    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon I was referring to the immediate effects lol. As in- imagine the RBA wasn't there. Will there still be a correlation?

    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon By an increase in supply do you mean in the domestic market or the international financial market? And if more Australians are investing on a global level>> why does it increase supply? Do they inject more AUD into the system? Can you refer me to the relevant...

    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon Another dilemma (to do with interest rates) I know there's a cause and effect with interest rates and inflation, i.e: When interest rates are lowered, the rate of borrowing is lowered allowing more people to borrow money and spend. This increases inflation as...

    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon Either past HSC or school past papers, can't remember haha. How does "the demand for foreign assets such as shares, real estate, government bonds and currency by Australian residents" affect the supply of AUD? I get demand and supply mixed up a lot. Is it ...

    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon From the 2015 Riley textbook. Was just looking for more info because sometimes one of the question in the MC presents something about overseas migrants and ask you to slot in where they'll fit in the BOP.

    HSC 2015 Economics Marathon

    Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon In the Capital account , what is 'capital transfers from people migrating into/out of Australia'? What's the difference between workers remittance (which is counted as net secondary income) and this? Can't find too much clarification on this :(
