Re: Yr 11 and HSC Chemistry Tutor Available - SWSydney (Casula,Liverpool,Glenfield,Pa Just thought I'd bump this; I've been working and studying overseas and interstate for the past year, so haven't done much tutoring for a while. If anyone's looking for someone, feel free to give me a bell.

I'm in my second year of a B.Sci (Chemistry) and am a band six Chemistry student. I can start tutoring you in July once my exams are done. Call me on 0423 507 495 if you want to sort something out. I did 4 Unit English with competitive marks as well and can help you with that, but I have...

Yr 11 and HSC Chemistry Tutor Available - SWSydney (Casula,Liverpool,Glenfield,Parra) Hi, I'm a final year University Chemistry student located in Casula/Liverpool who scored a Band Six in HSC Chemistry in 2005. I've achieved Dean's Honours at the University of Western Sydney for the past...

It's Over. I can't believe it is finally over. I never thought this day would come, but it has! Woohoo! We can't sit here complaining about the past, because we can't change it. So who cares?

I happen to be on Karl's side for this one. It IS possible and has been done in multiple exams....people who finish early write down the questions on the white booklet or on scrap paper. Idiots.

I also went with this. Gave the oxidation, reduction and overall equations, explained that Magnesium would oxidise in preference forming Mg ions and that Iron ions would be reduced to form solid Fe. I also agree with Kyroth that 4 marks for a question like this is practically a gift.

Agreed. That was the most perfect test ever made.

I'm confident with every question I answered of getting full marks...there is a possibility for the hundred percent...but taking into account a few silly mistakes, or missed marks on the big questions, I would guess aroun 94%....no less than 90%.

I found most of it pretty easy, but I found about two questions insanely difficult, particularly that last question which was uneccessarily hard...it took me about 3 minutes to figure out what exactly the question was asking. I wrote down my multiple choice results on my hand cos I had some...

No, I'm making it up to doom your HSC. :p The resulting mixture after fermentation is only 15% ethanol (or 14 - 15 as Lace said.) Hence the need for distillation afterwards. EDIT: By 'stuff' I'll assume you mean the reactants (that is, the remaining glucose and stuff that's left over from...

OK, if we are to believe that this is the case (dot-points not asked as of yet will be asked tomorrow) have questions ever been asked multiple times in previous HSC's? E.g. was a question that was asked in 2001 asked again in 2003? I think if this isn't the case, then we can safely say that...

About 15%. He didn't get it from a book, he got it from the net...presumably google.

For the purposes of the HSC, ALL acid-base reactions involve proton transfer. Lewis reactions are off syllabus and will not be tested in the HSC. Feel free to argue this point at 1:00 tomorrow :D

Oh yes, he's my favourite too! :D
