    Ethanol as a Solvent

    Also, would you be able to check these equations? I'm not sure if I did them correctly... CH3CH2OH(l) + Mg3Si4O10(OH)2(s) --> Mg3Si4O10(OH)2(aq) CH3CH2OH(l) + (C6H8(NO2)2O5)(l) --> (C6H8(NO2)2O5)(aq) CH3CH2OH(l) + C3H6O(l) --> C3H6O(aq) CH3CH2OH(l) + C17H35COOH(l) --> C17H35COOH(aq)...

    If you could carry a concealed weapon would you?

    Just wondering... If someone was trying to steal something from you without a weapon, would harming them with a weapon be seen as self defence? Just trying to form my opinion on this issue:)

    How many words are your essays?

    Thanks nifkeh:) I honestly didn't realize that what I wrote was considered a lot...must be all that hand muscle training I do! haha:) Like my teacher has always been pleased, but never said anything more than that they were happy with the amount that I wrote... I guess I'll just make full use...

    How many words are your essays?

    I know this is an old thread, but only 940 words? I write 1,300 words in 40 mins for advanced...1,950 on average for extension (1 hour). Am I doing something wrong? I understand quality over quantity...but should there really be that much of a difference? O_o

    If you could carry a concealed weapon would you?

    I haven't thought a great deal about this so please excuse me if I sound naive concerning this matter:) I can see merit in having a weapon to protect others, but not necessarily myself. Because if a gun was already drawn on me, I'm pretty sure if I reached to pull out a gun that chances are...

    Can i use this as my related text?

    I'm not sure to be honest:) But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't just be able to use one picture from the book, but would have to take a more holistic approach. Because your related text would be The Arrival and not that one picture (if it was published elsewhere as a single entity then you could...
