    Space equation help ...

    The one's with the 0's are from the perspective of the person who is in the rest frame i.e. in the moving object but appears to them as they are not moving. To them, the person outside their spaceship or whatever they are in is relatively moving. E.g. Person in spaceship which is moving at 0.9c...

    Competition at your school

    mmmz competition can be a good thing in that it gives u the motivation to study. But too much and it overshadow you and become a burden. +1 This is because when you teach others, you're solidifying the concepts in your head and removing flaws in your own understanding. If you have to...

    Fertiliser prac

    This is actually a validity point and not accuracy. Accuracy concerns to how many decimal places and to what precision the equipment can measure results. E.g. Using an electronic weight balance with 3 decimal places instead of one with only 1 decimal place. Other problems and solutions: Loss...

    Assessment Task: The Acidic Environment

    Is this assesment task counting towards you HSC or is it just classwork? I can have a look at what you've done if you want and see if you've missed out any important details or give you some tips.

    neutrilisation pH calculation.

    This is correct. As the lowest amount of significant figures in the question is 1 i.e. 20 your answer must be also to 1 significant figure. Thus the answer is 3. In chemistry we work with significant figures and not decimal places for calculations (in most cases). Titration may vary if they...

    Tips, Tricks and Advice for the HSC

    mmz you are certainly correct there. MSN is quite a useful tool, not only for studying/keeping up to date with new work but also just having chat and so its a good stress buster. The main point I meant was that once you sit down on the computer you start off checking your mail or msning for 5...

    A question about the effect of no sunlight on cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes

    Bromine water can be written as Br2 (aqeuous) - meaning dissolved in water. That's all you need, trust me and the many past papers that i've gone through. So it's Br2 (l) + H20 (l) --> Br2 (aq) If you really want to go into the depth then use this: Br2 (l) + H2O (l) --> HBr (aq) + HOBr (aq)

    Tips, Tricks and Advice for the HSC

    How much to study? - Time doesn't matter. Someone could study 2 hours a day another 5 hours and achieve the same result. It's all about learning the correct techniques! - Don't fall behind on maths homework! Do it as soon as you get it. If a question is taking too long mark it and move...

    Has anyone donated blood before?

    Yea, I've donated blood. The test your iron stores using a portable test (quick prick of the finger) and if they are sufficient then they'll let you go ahead. This test is the most painful part of the whole procedure so yea.. the blood taking doesn't hurt very much at all. Have a nice big...

    A question about the effect of no sunlight on cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes

    In your title you mention CYLCOhexane and CYCLOhexene. Thus the equations are as such: Cyclohexane: C6H12 (l) + Br2 (aq) ----> C6H12 (l) + Br2 (aq) (No Reaction) Cylcohexene: C6H10 (l) + Br2 (aq) ----> C6H10Br2 (aq) The product is 1, 2-dibromocyclohexane (aq) For hexane and hexene (an...

    A question about the effect of no sunlight on cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes

    As 1, 2-dibromohexane (aq) is clear and so we can see a colour change. This point isn't as important as knowing why hexane+hexene, cyclohexane+cyclohexene were used: The hexenes have double bonds (so can react with Br2) Liquids at room temp Readily available at school Cheaper than other...

    where do we go for year 12

    if you watch naruto take down random quotes from it, it is the epitome of belonging! :P ahaha Remember, don't make it plot driven, rather, develop the characters, their personality and possibly the setting. Define their personality from their actions. Their's approximately 12 criteria from...
