Predictions for option topics/core (extended response) (1 Viewer)

[Queenroot]

Core:
- Like trials it could be on different oxides of nitrogen/sulfur
- those goddamn batteries (lead -acid cell etc.)
- a massive titration question
- Water quality tests (I think this is too easy imo)
- AAS
- the ammonia dude, Haber?

Or something possibly really f'd up.


For those doing Shipwrecks, generally the questions asked for the long 7/8 marker are:
- corrosion at ocean depths
- cleaning/preservation of maritime artefacts
- history of metals, different steels and their uses in shipbuilding

But what other retarded question do you think they could pull off for a 7 marker?
I just have this feeling they want to pull a troll this year and give us an extended response on the most random syllabus dot points that no one knows how to write a response to.

Core:

- the ammonia dude, Haber?

lol.

 

[panda15]

I'm hoping for AAS of oxides in the atmosphere as a 7-marker. Or that guy...you know the dude who invented the ammonia thing? Yeah that guy.
Also hoping that the "chemist in a named industry" dot point doesn't come up.

And for Industrial chem, environmental concerns involving sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide and the solvay process.

Would be happy with any of those questions

 

[bangladesh]

I personally think it'll be either on Haber process or maybe ethanol as fuel or something to do with trends in the recovery of the ozone layer as well as what you stated above. Even thought i highly doubt that it'll be a 'long' titration question because titration usually isn't more than 3-4 marks.

Chem of art reppin.

Chem of art reppin.

Lol I didn't know of any schools that did that.

 

[bangladesh]

Lol I didn't know of any schools that did that.

It is actually the shortest option and the content is fairly easy. Not sure why industrial is the most common when chem of art is the easiest of all.It does include A LOT of physics tho. so maybe that's why. However I've heard that it aligns better than the other options

I'm hoping for a 6 marker at like question 33 on why chemists have to collaborate when monitoring the environmental impact of a named electrochemical cell.

Yeah our class wanted to do forensic, but our teacher explained that the core already covers a lot of industrial, so a lot of it can be used as revision for the core topics, so we did industrial. Plus there's a decent amount of calculation. I guess that's why it's so popular.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 6/7 mark question on a tricky galvanic cell of some sort.

There were large short answer questions on galvanic cells in 2009 and 2011, but they were lightly tested in 2010 and 2012...

 

[Duxify]

There is generally a titration question every year as well...

 

[babberz]

dont forget ur ppm calculations boyss

I wanted to do it. It looked interesting, but I got stuck with fucking shipwrecks and rust, ew.

I'm hoping for a 6 marker at like question 33 on why chemists have to collaborate when monitoring the environmental impact of a named electrochemical cell.

HAHAHA, well, I don't know any of the equations in the batteries, so I'm screwed if they ask about it.



Ah, I forgot to mention - may be an extended response on the purification of water. And as someone mentioned the whole Ozone thing. Which I am okay with

Does anyone do Shipwrecks?

you lost me here. AAS of oxides? not sure if that is even possible. is it?

 

[ocatal]

I'm pretty sure he means AAS 'or' oxides.

Grammar matters.

It's not ESL so you are not excused.
