    Buy Fe2O3 and Aluminium Powder in NSW??

    Having preformed the termite reaction whilst I was in school (under teacher supervision), I would advise you not to attempt it. Because of the dangers of this reaction; temperatures exceeding 1300 degrees C and the risk of explosion and scattering of molten metal it is no a wise idea. Also...

    ASSESSABLE PRACS (The Acidic Environment)

    What would be gained by allowing you to copy and paste the docs? You would not be learning rather, just copying and pasting without understanding the info. And besides that, why do you wish to copy the docs? Jamesy

    Hey sorry for the pages on the site that aren't working, I know that there is a fair few of them. The reason is that when that version was first posted, there were major problems with it, mainly in the hyperlinking. I have tried repeatedly to fix this though my efforts have been in vain. So I...

    Best Chemistry Textbook

    I used both the Conquering and Contexts texts books, though i used the contexts more than the conquering, mainly cos i thought that i went into a little more depth in some areas. Jamesy

    NaOH makes burrette stuck?

    Well I've heard of the of the taps sticking, but it was due to poor maintance, and the taps don't only stick for NaOH. It all depend on how well they are cleaned...so make sure that you clean them well. Also a good idea is if you are putting NaOH in the burette, after you have finished using it...

    What's so bad about biochemistry?

    Yeah i think that it is a reason why teachers don't push the elective as a choice to their students. I had an excellent bio teacher that let me do the elective on my own, and she just watched over me and helped when I needed it. Just remember that the teacher tell you which elective you have...

    Increased temperature in chemical reactions

    Yes the noble gases do react, but as you said only at very high temperatures and to the best of my knowledge they have only been able to get xenon to react with fluorine gas. This mainly the case because fluorine gas has an extremely high tendency to strip electrons from any atom that it can...

    Chem & which maths?

    Everyone kept saying to me that I needed to do extension 1 maths to be able to chemistry, which I did. But now looking back on it there was no real need to do the extension maths or even 2U really cos it is all pretty simple maths. So I think that you should be right the the maths that you...
