    How can we observe a chemical change?

    I know this is a pretty stupid question to ask, but I'm dying without the answer I know about observing the following factors: - Colour change - Heat change - New substances formed But, say if we add cold milk into hot tea. Initially brown, the milk slowly turns it into white. Now there is a...

    How do we make soap?

    EDIT: Oops, I only just realised that I was 4 years late. It's made using an industrial process called saponification. Basically, an ester is boiled with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The common esters used are triesters, and they are usually triglycerides. They're basically made up of animal fats...

    Fitzpatrick math book made me very sad.

    Try Cambridge/Fitzpatrick on a regular basis. It's good for a good background.

    Describing the Structure of Cellulose?

    Well it's posted in the chemistry section, so I'm assuming it's chemistry.

    Evidence for increases in atmospheric oxides?

    Aren't you in year 10? lol

    Chemistry Question HSC 2007

    20b) Sorry, I gave a wrong answer in my previous post. Lead acid cells are recharged by applying a voltage to reverse the spontaneous chemical reaction that occurs when the cell delivers current.

    HSC 2006 Q17b

    That part is incorrect. You still need one more step. pH = -log [H+] = -log (n/0.07)

    Properties

    Chemical properties are more about the reaction of the substance. E.g. A physical property of octane would be that it's liquid at room temp, it has X degrees boiling point, transparent liquid, etc... Chemical property would be that it would ignite easily in oxygen to undergo combustion.

    predict UAI please?

    Just keep doing past papers for 2u. Do about 10. Make sure you mark them. There should be improvement xD

    Anyone did the Australian Chemistry Olympiad?

    Aww, I regret so much not paying attention in earlier years. I only started loving chemistry in year 11 =( I never cared about any shit in junior years. Now I missed my chance of chemistry olympiad =(

    When calculating eq. constant...

    2007 Industrial chemistry section. There was solid in the equilibrium. You just have to ignore it in the equilibrium expression.

    Chemistry Question HSC 2007

    Well I don't know why a N:P ratio would drop, but it's just simple maths. 20:1 to 2:1 would be a drop in N:P ratio, yes. So yes, if you add more neutrons, then you'll just have a higher ratio. It won't decrease.

    When calculating eq. constant...

    Umm, I think it's only aqueous and gas.

    Chemistry Question HSC 2007

    Umm... I'm not sure if this will answer your question, but low N:P = high P:N. lol =O wikipedia would've been useful for that But it's when a stable element/molecule/whatever gets ionised, ie. by giving them a charge by either taking away or giving it more electrons.

    Bonding

    lol I think you have the right idea. Your explanation was worded quite weirdly (to me), but yes. H-bonding is basically dipole/dipole, except they're called H-bonding because they form stronger dipoles with O/N/F.

    Question 18 from 2008 exam

    Re: 回复: Re: Question 18 from 2008 exam lol that's why I asked what exam is this from... I don't like this question at all. Why would they allocate 4 marks on this question? There's not so many things to talk about =O And dude...Did you mean your school trial or something?

    Which exam is this?

    Questions

    This is outside the syllabus, so unless you really want to know why, just remember that K is only dependent on temperature. There are actually lots of different types of equilibrium constants. There is one for concentration, one for pressure, one for temperature, pH.... LOTS The "K" we are...
