    what stimulus text to use for imaginative?

    Im using it, because it fits in well with my other texts. I think it fits in well with imaginative journeys, but Im just a bit worried about having enough to write about.

    Galvanic Cells Prac

    Ahhhh. I understand. Ive been trying to get my teacher to explain it but he isnt very good at explaining. He changed his mind about which of the elctrodes was the cathode and which was the anode about 4 times when he was explaining the whole experiment lol. Thanks :)

    Galvanic Cells Prac

    Ahhhh....that actually makes sense!!!! I understand why the voltage does not change (with volume, not concentration!), but i still dont understand why the current changes. EDIT: Wait, I think I understand something. Why does voltage decrease steadily over time? Is it because the concentration...

    Galvanic Cells Prac

    Yeah...I have learnt none of this. My teacher is terrible. Oh well. A correction to the thing about the salt bridge - i know its not the ions from the other half cell that travel across it, its the ions from the salt bridge itself that travel into each half cell to balance out the charge...

    Galvanic Cells Prac

    Hey, Could someone please help me with these questions? Why does the volume of electrolyte in the half cell affect the current but does not significantly alter the voltage produced by the cell? When I did the experiment it was the other way around!! Anyway, i dont fully undestand what current...

    Combustion of petroleum

    Ahhh...thats what i thought. Its just that my teacher keeps writing it as a positive and its been confusing me. So...smaller chained hydrocarbons need less moles of oxygen to combust because one mole of a smaller hydrocarbon is smaller (duh!) than one mole of a larger hydrocarbon? Thanks :)

    Combustion of petroleum

    Ahh ok. Thanks. I was just taught that and I was worried that iyt was wrong. I have a few random questions. When you find the heat of combustion using the formula triangle H = -m C triangle T, should the answer be a negative or a positive? I asked my teacher but he wasnt much help. Also, why...

    Qns about Journals

    I have a question. Is it a bad idea to have a typed journal? At first i was handwriting mine, but I've found that typing it is a lot easier for me. And I have atrocious handwriting too.

    when's your first assessments start???

    Thats gotta suck. I think its a terrible idea to have all the assesments in one week, it puts a lot of uneccessary pressure on the students. I havent gotten an assesment booklet yet because this yr we dont get a whole booklet, just the pages for the subjects we are doing from our class teacher...

    Edassist summer school?

    Im dead serious. My school has absolutely no competent science teachers. Which sucks for me since im doing both Bio and Chem. Which is why I think this would be useful for me, since i want to get a UAI over 95 and get into Medicine. Crap, just realised the Bio one is on my BIRTHDAY!!!!! Sigh...
