    80% is quite solid, especially for a school like nsg. A raw mark of 83 usually aligns to a band 6 in the hsc, so you still have plenty of time to improve

    The equivalence point is around 8 pH which lines up to a volume added of 22mL. 22mL is the amount of sodium hydroxide added against acetic acid. As always, write out a balanced equation for this reaction. Then, you can calculate the number of moles of NaOH which is 0.022L x 0.15 mol/L =...

    Question 9: The two organic compounds are CH3CH2COOH (propanoic acid) and HOOCH (methanoic acid). They both contain a carboxyl functional group which is organic due to the presence of carbon. As such, the answer cannot the HCl nor H2SO4. HCN is not organic acid because there is no -COOH group.

    Question 8: Ethanol and methanoic acid will reflux to produce ethyl methanoate (an ester). You should first write out an equation for this Determine the number of moles of both ethanol and methanoic acid. This can be done by using n = m/MM n(ethanol) = 3.50g / 46.068 g/mol = 0.07597 mol...

    HSC 2023

    by benchmarking your ranks with those that i knew who went to schools ranked within the 200ths, you're probably sitting at a mid - high 70

    HSC 2023

    what are your internal ranks? You'd have to do exceptionally bad to get an atar below 75 (i'm talking around getting 60-70 range for each of your subjects).

    Messed up in trials, is it over?

    Definitely still possible to get somewhere in the low 90s to mid 90s. You still have a your externals which is worth 50% of your HSC.
