The best method that I am aware of for the quantitative dectection of Fe2+ is the reaction with acidified potassium permangante.

Having preformed the termite reaction whilst I was in school (under teacher supervision), I would advise you not to attempt it. Because of the dangers of this reaction; temperatures exceeding 1300 degrees C and the risk of explosion and scattering of molten metal it is no a wise idea. Also...

Hey I'm not sure about anyone doing this elective this year. But I did chem of art last year, and it is prob the most interesting of the electives. But the best part is that is works in well with the physics elective quata to quarks. Though the biggest benift is that, if you are go to uni and...

What would be gained by allowing you to copy and paste the docs? You would not be learning rather, just copying and pasting without understanding the info. And besides that, why do you wish to copy the docs? Jamesy

Hey sorry for the pages on the site that aren't working, I know that there is a fair few of them. The reason is that when that version was first posted, there were major problems with it, mainly in the hyperlinking. I have tried repeatedly to fix this though my efforts have been in vain. So I...

My site may help http://www.geocities.com/jamesyscience most of the chemistry pracs are online Jamesy

hey i'm at uq doing engineering(chemical) and science (chemistry) It is a very nice campus compared to the uni's in sydney. And the facilities are unreal, especially if you are doing biomedical engg or biomed sciences

Hey sorry about the pracs not being there. I will try to fix it as soon as possible, hopefully before the end of the week. There may be other docs that are not available cos I'm redoing, well should i say trying to redo the site at the moment, so if you find that any of the links on the...

Also it may be advantageous to look at some of the mining companies web pages, I'm not completely sure that if they would have any info, but i just thought it may be worth your time to have a look. Jamesy

I used both the Conquering and Contexts texts books, though i used the contexts more than the conquering, mainly cos i thought that i went into a little more depth in some areas. Jamesy

Well I've heard of the of the taps sticking, but it was due to poor maintance, and the taps don't only stick for NaOH. It all depend on how well they are cleaned...so make sure that you clean them well. Also a good idea is if you are putting NaOH in the burette, after you have finished using it...

Yeah i think that it is a reason why teachers don't push the elective as a choice to their students. I had an excellent bio teacher that let me do the elective on my own, and she just watched over me and helped when I needed it. Just remember that the teacher tell you which elective you have...

Yes the noble gases do react, but as you said only at very high temperatures and to the best of my knowledge they have only been able to get xenon to react with fluorine gas. This mainly the case because fluorine gas has an extremely high tendency to strip electrons from any atom that it can...

sorry the link isn't right in the post i just did, it should be http://www.geocities.com/jamesyscience Jamesy
