To start things up: A farmer wanted to obtain a reliable estimate of the pH of his soil using universal indicator. Outline a brief method he could adopt to determine pH.

yeah, isn't it part of the nuclear chemistry part. Beta-capture equations??

Well moderation is a fair system, IMO. Say if you're first ranked, and you slightly bomb out in the exam.. this is buffered by you're first rank... you'll get the top exam mark in the cohort as ur moderated assessment mark. the 'dreg' in ur school... im assuming is someone that doesn't...

True And even more worse is... a final exam determines it all. If you bomb out on the exam (bad luck, not feeling well etc) , are ranked first by a large gap.. then you're screwed over. This is one reason I was freaking out about the HSC exams for...

Well yeah, it's a one off payment of $4000. However, the USyd one I applied for, there is a possibility of getting a merit scholarship, which is $6000 every year for duration of degree.

No problem. ;) Yeah, the UNSW one is just entry scholarship of $4000. And they guarantee you entry into the program desired, if your UAI is no more than 5 points below the cut-off for that course. USyd ones are $6000 though, I would be over the moon to get one of those, could by myself a...

Every school in the state is offered one nomination for the scholarship, from UNSW. lol that would be funny, the last school in the state with an academic achiever scoring UAI of like 50. You should've asked around at your school.. I'm sure you would've gotten it ;)

Thanks :) All it means is, the top academic achiever (overall 1st rank) is nominated by the school for the scholarship. I'm not sure how your school determines the top academic achiever, although if that guy your competing with ends up beating you (lets say), and you come 2nd, if he has at...

Thanks :) Most likely USYD, because of BPharm. But then again, I really like UNSW and wouldn't mind doing a year of BSc (Advanced) or BSc(Pharmacology) there for a year and transferring to BPharm @USyd , If i don't make it into BPharm for 2009 admissions. I also applied for USyd...

Just to clarify... http://news.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/index.cfm/2007/10/23/New-look-Premiers-Awards Oh, and Namu.. I just thought of this...do u remember when I was ranting in another thread that my school didn't award me the UNSW Scholarship, despite being dux? LOLL my principal called...

WOW I never knew about the Cash either.. lol that would be awesome So that means I need to get Band 6 in 10 of my units to get $1000 cash?????? lol awesome

Ohhh so there's no ceremony or anything involved? So I guess the ceremony is only for those who got 1st in state for each subject?

Time will tell, lol Although I'm sure I've read somewhere that on Dec 16th students receiving a Premier's Award are notified. To get your premier's award, do you have to attend a special ceremony etc? Wouldn't there be heapsssss of people getting Premier's... so wouldn't that ceremony last...

I reckon this year's cut off for E4 will be around 45/84, judging on past stats. It does seem very low... but thats the statistics.

thanks...no prob ;) Yeh same.. It would be a nice surprise, but I'm not expecting it. Just to note, there is a page on the BOS with Top Achievers in course list. Do they publish this after hsc results are released, or on 16th december like someone said? I remember that 16th december is when...

the electrolyte past is made up of NH4Cl / ZnCl2 . MnO2 is the oxidant, and skimdawg rightly said that C(s) is the cathode. Those equations for oxidation and reduction are also correct ;)

lol I'm going for a state ranking in Chem, but highly doubt it. Edit: midifile ur surely getting a state-ranking for bio... looking back at ur answers in the 'nexttttt' thread for Bio.... killerrr ;)

All I can say is I highly recommend the following textbook for HSC Bio: "Biology in Focus" by Glenda Chidrawi Best textbook ever. Just about to be released in the market. My teacher got a copy of it beforehand because she knows the author, and was editing her work.
