I thought it was ok, it was heaps better than biology!

Wasn't to bad, but still my worst subject.

NO MORE CHEMISTRY!

lot of higher order questions also give room for markers to act nazi

 

[crazylilmonkee]

it was ok
pretty happy bout it
hoping for 80% raw

they did that last year as well tho... ^^
which is why a lot of the top marks were relatively low

 

[s2ophie]

I didn't like it but thats the same with every chemistry exam for me. It could of been a lot worse! At least now i never have to do chem again!!!

No way! Biology was soo much easier! You didn't even have to think in Biology!

I found it hella long, I calculated it and I had 53 marks to go as I started the last hour... O_O... I was poopin muh pants..

Weird, im like 6th at my school in chem, so hopefully that makes sure I dont go spiralling down....

One more to go, the 12th and 13th units... IT lol

Hmmph. Nitric acid. Forgot the formula, lost 4 marks on that :!

yay~! =)
it was good.. a lot of the higher order questions gave u room to show examiners what u know. =)

I totally agree...unlike the biology exam, the people who really knew their stuff will outshine the bullshitters!!!

 

[melly_belly]

go the bullshitters! dats my style i bullshit everything, i'll b lucky to pass

 

[muldersgun]

haha the whole exam reminded me of english.

question
essay

question
essay

its kinda sad how science has degenerated into applied science + english. No wonder the unis are complaining that ppl aren't coping with science in uni.

 

[eeyore]

wow all you guys really liked it eh?
i can't say i did!

Yeah but at least this exam was fair for those people that put in the hours and learnt their work. I was so annoyed I wasted so much time learning stuff for bio and then the exam was a joke.

uhh... wat did ppl write for a page on the monitoring of the haber process?! i found myself repeating myself kinda... cuz the question was very specific about the conditions... i.e. temp and pressure unless i misintepreted the question... which of corz is possible >.<

I talked about monitoring temp to ensure it stayed at the optimum compromise temperature between yield and reation rate (400 degrees) because it is an exothermic equilibrium reaction... I also talked about monitoring pressure, also with temp the temp needs to be monitored because if the temperature gets too high it can destroy the catalyst. I also mentioned monitoring the reactant gases to ensure there was no oxygen in them because oxygen and hydrogen react explosively, and the reactant gases also needed to be monitored to ensure they were in the correct molar ratio...

I said that the importance of monitoring these things was to make sure the production had optimal conditions to ensure high yield and cost efficiency in ammonia poroduction.

Was this alright? Do you think this would have been enough stuff to talk about for 7 marks?

 

[Truly_bored]

Wow.....chemistry sounded wasy easier than Maths 2 unit....

 

[lillaila]

Hmmmm...i agree wif Nuggy and melly_belly
N E WAY.....it suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkked big time!!!
BIO WAS WAYYYY betttter and yea i BS all the way.
I agree that it was much harder than last year's.
Good on u for studying hard.....i didn't so it's my fault but i hope i'll pull through.

 

[Skywalker]

Harder?

This was just an exercise to see how fast you can write out memorised answers.

I had pretty much the same points and I do think the points you made were enough to get you 7 marks.

 

[~TeLEpAtHeTiC~]

found it really easy..fucking fancy that, physics biology AND chemistry all being piss eay..OMG WHATS WITH BOARD OF STUDIES THESE DAYS....lol meh its alllll good
i rekon high band 5 - mid band 6 here
i think i stuff up on one of the 4 mark and another of the 2 mark questions
otherwise allllllll good
1 more to go.... bring it on....!!
and then i'm freeeeeee
