    History and Memory - Challenges?

    I find the topic of history and memory quite difficult to really pin down and say anything absolute about. (That could be because history offers one perspective, memory another and each may say a different thing to the other --> postmodernist "there are no absolute truths" --> ultimate...

    Zinc sulfate is acidic? why?

    Zinc oxide is amphoteric (acidic or basic), so it would depend on how it was produced.

    Symbols relating to Physical Journey?

    Basic ones are footsteps, shoes, road, hill, tracks, airport etc. All very cliche, but if you think about things commonly encountered on a physical journey you might be inspired to think of something a bit more original.

    Addition polymerisation.

    Polymerisation of ethylene is an addition reaction, therefore the double bonds break into single bonds. The intiator creates an activated ethylene molecule (by attaching to it), and is used in the reaction (unlike a catalyst). Propagation occurs when the 'activated' molecule connects...

    I Need Help

    Just remember, all you need to do is pass your preliminary subjects. That said, I would put lots of effort into nailing the prelim Maths courses, as up to 20% of these can be examined in the HSC. Don't worry too much about Year 11 - if you put in the most effort you can and get fantastic...

    Adam and Eve or Evolution?

    Totally evolution over creationism - the earth being created in six days is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. It's funny because I go to a Christian school and when we were talking about oil in Chemistry, my teacher was all 'The universe is only 15000 years old and oil doesn't take...

    Catalysts in dehydration/hydration

    The syllabus dot point says "describe the dehydration of ethanol to ethylene and identify the need for a catalyst in this process and the catalyst used" I know that the catalyst used may be either concentrated sulfuric or phosphoric acid, but I don't know why it's used. Is it just to...

    This afternoon I was craving cinnimon-and-sugar palmiers (puff pastry snacks). That was rather unusual. My most common crave would have to be cookies and cream ice cream. Hmmmmmm....

    FEATURE ARTICLE: Plz Help!

    You've done well in identifying + focusing on "some important youth issues" but you've neglected the other part of the question - "advise parents/caregivers on how they can best support their children". You've said good things like "It is the responsibility of parents to remind their...

    Does God exist?

    Okay, I haven't read any of the above posts, but here's what I think (purely my opinion): God does not exist. 1) "God" didn't write the bible. It was written by man. 2) Why would he kill his own creations? 3) The earth WAS NOT created in seven days - we know this as fact. And if we cannot...
