b) Radioisotopes are effective in industries as that can be used to help monitor product quality, where radioisotopes like Strontium 99 measures thickness of paper and Sodium-24 detects pipe leakage. Cobalt 60 has improved the medical industry by treating cancer patients and improving health of humans. However the problems associated with radioisotopes are that they require careful monitoring, as some radioisotopes like Cobalt 60 are dangerous as the gamma ray can harm healthy cells. Staff members and associates also need occupational health checks and training when working with radioisotopes.
2) a) An acid that ionises to produce H+ ions
b) Acids contain oxygen based on observing nitric and sulfuric acid
c) NH+4 is Arhennius when reacts with water to produce OH-
Q) Describe the development of AAS and how it works (3 marks)
Yeah that's right, I would also note high purity and solubility
1)a) Isotope are elements with different number of neutrons to protons and Radioisotopes are similar but they are unstable when neutron to proton ratio is outside of 1 and 1.5
b) Radioisotopes are effective in industries as that can be used to help monitor product quality, where radioisotopes like Strontium 99 measures thickness of paper and Sodium-24 detects pipe leakage.

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
The most important one is that it is of known composition and stable in air.

Acids containing oxygen is based on Lavoisier's theory. Davy proposed that acids contain replaceable hydrogen.
re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
Oh god, I got mixed up. Then Davy proposed acid have hydrogen based on HCl, HF and etc.

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
Would you say for Davy's theory now for the HSC? (believe in yourself? or trust Sir Liebig?)
There is conflict in this. Davy proposed that acids contain hydrogen, later on in life, Justus von Liebig reacted acids with metals and therefore conlcuded that acids contained 'replaceable' hydrogen (there is evidence in Jacaranda)

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
I'm quite confused about this.
Why doesn't changing the amount of solids in an equilibrium have any effect?

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
Changing concentrations only affects the equilibrium when the reactants/products are in gaseous or liquid state, not solid.

Solids don't have an effect because they are in a different phase - they are effectively sitting there doing nothing.

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
Ummm... I guess no one has asked a Question, ill put one:
Outline and assess the effectiveness of methods used to purify and sanitize mass water supplies, Justifying the precipitate used to clarify the water.

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
for 1a I would also mention that radioisotopes are radioactive ie emitting of ionizing radiation or particles
2a, wasn't Lavosier the guy who proposed acids contained oxygen?
b) davy was acids contain replacable hydrogen (examples are correct)
c) i think you misread the question, so for a it wouldnt be an acid but in b it would be considered an acid.
very nice,

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
how come here it works for solids aswell?
I think it works for solids but DOESN'T affect it if the others are gases and you're dealing with pressure

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive
Yeah, if the reactants and products are all gases in a closed system, by adding a solid, you are decreasing the volume of the system, hence an increase in pressure and causing the equilibrium to shift to the side with less moles of gas.

Now a big marker:
Evaluate the impact of industrial sources of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides on the environment, making use of appropriate chemical equations. (7)[/QUOTE]
Industrial sources of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides(NOx) have a huge impact on the environment. Sources for sulfur dioxide include the combustion of fossil fuels or the extraction of metals from sulfur rich ores and sources for NOx include power stations and engines in motor vehicles.
Sulfur dioxide forms sulfurous acid with water, causing acid rain:
SO2 + H20 ---> H2S03
Nitrogen dioxide as well, to form nitrous and nitric acid:
2NO2 + H20 ---> HNO3 + HNO2
Acid rain has a negative effect on the environment. It reacts with carbonate in marble urban structures and corrodes it, or destroys the shells of shellfish.
The increased combustion of fossil fuels after the Industrial Revolution also led to pollution of the environment due to increased release of Sulfur dioxide and NOx. This is apparent as the air quality in major cities(London) deteriorated.
Gas found in ice core samples in Antarctica has shown that levels of N20(an oxide of nitrogen) has increased by about 10%.
Photochemical smog, a direct indicator of excessive levels of NO2, affects visibility and ozone, found in the smog, is harmful to humans.
Evaluation: The impact SO2 and NOx on the environment is massive, and measures should be taken to reduce their concentrations in the atmosphere.
Not really sure about my evaluation and equations, but that's all I have.
A multiple choice question:
The molar heat of combustion of propane is given in the data book as 2200 kJ mol-1
What does this mean?
(A) 1 g of propane releases 2200 kJ of heat
(B) 44 g of propane releases 2200 kJ of heat
(C) 1 g of propane absorbs 2200 kJ of heat
(D) 44 g of propane absorbs 2200 kJ of heat

Re: HSC 2012 Chemistry Marathon
Yes! Reason? Because I thought molar heat of combustion was defined as the amount of energy 1g of substance blah blah...?

Re: HSC 2012 Chemistry Marathon
As for your long response, I don't think it's 5-7 marks yet.
Here's what I would do, in a nutshell.
- Outline sources of SOx and NOx (which you did, GOOD!)
- Give eqns for the formation of acid rain by hydration and/or oxidation of SOx and NOx
(You sort of did this, but the main sulfur-based acid is SULFURIC ACID. I think. Oxidise SO2 to SO3 then hydrate)
- Remember that acid rain has THREE main concerns. These are:
- Damages limestone, sandstone, marble-based structures, which are usually heritage structures (You did this, GOOD!)
- Causes the acidity of the soil to decrease, leading to less plants being able to grow at optimal rates, even dying.
- Same to aquatic ecosystems, where phytoplankton may only live within a certain pH range or else they stop photosynthesis.
- SO2 is a lung irritant, responsible for many deaths in the years of the London Smog during the IR. (GOOD JOB, you did this!)
- NO2 also contributes to smog, but of a different kind; PHOTOCHEMICAL SMOG, causing the formation of ozone in the troposphere. This hampers visibility and causes harm to humans due to the poison of ozone.
And finally, your evaluation, which is just to wrap up, as you have done.
If I were to mark this, I think it would be 4-5 marks out of 7.
Now, for mine!
Assess the need to monitor levels of lead ions in substances used in society and describe appropriate technologies that can be used for such measurements. - [7 marks]
(B)?
