No, the question was not stupid at all :)

*ahem*

*thinks for a moment*

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I didn't even get into band 6 '-___-
I'm not, either. :/
the equations in the last line of the ICE table - are they correct?

Did you mean this? E 0.06 - x = 0.02, 0.05 - 0.5x = 0.03, 0.04

If so, not quite because the reaction is 2SO2 + O2 -----> 2SO3

You should write: E: 0.06 - 2x = 0.02, 0.05 - x = 0.03, 0.04

Ah, I didn't imply they were crap :p

I just think drawing a table and working it out like that, then writing your equilibium constant and subbing everything in is easier than the algebra *shrugs*

sigh. i hate chemistry.

Aww.. You can do it! Don't give up just yet :)

There's still enough time to get a decent UAI if it's really as bad as you have described ^^

Cheer up!
