    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    For this one I'm a bit iffy on it and did it this way: 0.200 absorbance/5 ppm = absorbance of 1 ppm of nickel 0.500/absorbance of 1 ppm of nickel = number of ppm of nickel in the second solution so I got 12.5 ppm 12.5/1000000 x 100mL = amount of nickel ions in 100 mL when reacted with...

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    Best method of practising maths?

    I'm starting year 12 soon, so I wanna make the best of these holidays. Currently maths is one of those subjects which I have neglected in 9 & 10, and sadly it's come to bite me back on the @$$.

    How to tell parents you didn't make it into 4u

    Just say that you didn't want to do 4U, I mean, no one can tell the difference....right? Edit: On a more serious note, I heard somewhere that theoretically your school cannot prevent you from doing a subject and that you can just ring BOS up to get it fixed or something, can anyone confirm this?

    Atar question

    Basically what Seventhroot is trying to say is that BOS only looks at the internal rankings and the relative gap between each of the ranks. The actual marks of your HSC exam is determined by the external exam, in which the highest external exam mark will be used as the highest internal...

    Yr11 Chem Q

    For determining molar ratios etc, from past experiences, I've learnt that you rarely go into the components of molecules and its ratios, unless it asks for something in relation to the molecular weight or the percentage of a certain molecule i.e. so you rarely if ever, need to think that...

    Yr11 Chem Q

    NOTE:When I write M after a numerical value, it stands for Moles/L, so concentration form. 1. Write out the balanced equation: Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaI (aq) --> PbI2 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq) 2. Plug in all the given info: 0.1M 0.1M 3. Most important step (probably), find...
