    Question 18 from 2008 exam

    Perhaps the mobility of delocalised electrons? This could be explained by the lower ionisation energy for elements as you go down the periodic table.. ie Group I metals become more 'metallic' and reactive as you go down the group. However... this isn't part of the HSC syllabus, and i've never...

    English = Study block

    Hopefully i'll be able to pull of a low 80's out of 105 Raw mark for english, to get into that band 6. For AOS paper, comprehension should be easy... creative will be a DISASTER.. and the essay should be ok as well. For Paper 2 advanced modules... I should be fine for module A, a bit mish-mash...

    Re: 回复: Re: Question 18 from 2008 exam Just remember, all metal oxides are basic in solution, all transition metal oxides (except ZnO, which is amphoteric) are basic also. Al2O3 and BeO are also amphoteric. All non-metallic oxides (ie right hand side of periodic table) are acidic in...

    The night before and morning of an exam...

    Before the exam, two toasted sandwiches (multigrain bread) for breakfast, and then an apple just before the exam + little bit of water. It worked for my trials.

    aas

    Correct. The purpose of the oxy-acetylene burner is simply to gasify/vaporize the solution into gaseous ions. The cathode lamp then emits the light of certain wavelength.. which the metal cation absorbs... any 'unabsorbed' light is passed through to the monochromator, which as you said...

    Past trial essay questions?

    Yeah, I was really happy with that question, I have to say it was quite easy. As soon as I saw it in reading time, I was relieved. I hope this year's Q3 Journey Essay question is fairly straightforward.

    parts per million

    what minijumbuk is trying to explain is, is that: if there were 3mg of NaCl in 350ml Then how many mg of NaCl in 1L? 350mL=0.35L hence, the 3mg/350ml is the same as: 3mg / 1/0.35 L which equals 8.57mg/L =8.57ppm Remember, simply: ppm = mg/L

    subsidies

    Since the supply curve shifts to the right... there is an increase in supply because the producer can produce more with the government's financial assistance, hence quantity increases. According to the law of demand and supply, as quantity/supply increases, demand decreases. Hence, there is a...
