    Rings moving through magnetic fields and magnets through tubes

    Okay, here's a problem... In the 2005 HSC, if you look at Q9 (MC), the correct answer should be B however the marking scheme states that it is C. Also, in the 2011 HSC, if you look at Q25, the correct answer should be magnet B comes out first because there is lower change of flux due to the...

    Random Chemistry Thoughts

    Okay, I had like...a random thought... Let's say you have Lead (II) nitrate [Pb(NO3)2], right? If you add it to water, why doesn't Pb(OH)2 (insoluble) form as a precipitate due to the self-ionisation of water since there would be OH- and H3O+ ions floating around? Is it because there is such a...

    Decimal Places

    What's the rule for decimal places in Chemistry? I've heard things like, "number of decimal places in the question and in your response are the same", "if the question is in X significant figures, you put your answer in X decimal places" and many others. What's the actual rule? I do have a...

    My school's marking scheme was purely unfair in that it was set out so that there was only 1 right answer to get full marks in the long response. This put a significant portion of generally high achieving students in the mid-low range of marks. The top mark was 52/60 and my mark was 41/60 - I...
