All the other eV values are relative to hydrogen, as far as I know. So, essentially hydrogen was picked as the standard (why exactly hydrogen, I don't know) and voltage produced when other elements/ions were oxidised/reduced by it was observed.

It'd be more than that... My trainee wage when I was 16 (and this was in 2011) was $9.48/hr or something. The full wage was more like $10.50 if I remember right. I don't live in NSW, though, so it might be slightly different.

Hi, I realise it's a bit late in the year to be doing this but I'm in the process of applying for Sancta Sophia College next year and I'm a bit stuck on one of the questions: "What makes you suitable for college life?". There's a minimum of 300 words and I'm at a bit of a loss for what to...

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive Yeah I meant reagents, sorry.

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive Add sodium acetate crystals. the formula is CH3COO-Na so when it dissolves in water this will increase the concentration of CH3COO- ions. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, this will shift the equilibrium position so that there will be more of the...

Chemistry was my strongest, drama was my absolute worst.

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive 10x more acidic means 10x more H+ ions (in mol/L) and since the pH is a negative logarithmic scale, an increase in the concentration of H+ decreases the numerical pH value. Acids have pH values lower than 7 while bases' are higher.

Same here. I've also applied for Medicine elsewhere but I don't like my chances, so I think this is what I'll end up doing. :)

I had a grade 6 teacher who insisted on making us do ridiculous amounts of homework every single night. I honestly think that, considering quantity alone, I studied more in year 6 than I did in year 12 (and I studied a fair amount). Haha.

re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive n(Cu) = 0.325/63.55 = 5.114x10^-3 moles Mol ratio of solid copper : CuSO4 = 1:1 therefore n(CuSO4 'lost') = 5.114x10^-3 mol initial amount (using n=cV) was 0.250 x 0.05 = 0.0125 mol final amount = 0.0125 - 5.114x10^-3 = 6.886x10^-3 mol therefore...

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. No, you aren't meant to prepare for IQ tests (not what the UMAT is, anyway) but that doesn't change the fact that many people do prepare for the UMAT and if you're accustomed to the question style you will most likely do better than someone who isn't. On a...

I'm not a huge fan of stand up but as far as people writing their own material and performing it goes, Gina Riley, Jane Turner and Magda Szubanski are some of my favourites as well as the members of Monty Python, and Chris Lilley.

Hahaha, what, Birdemic is a legit movie? My friend showed me the shorts and I thought it was a piss take.

Make that +2. I've only ever seen Billy Madison but it was shit.

Mean Girls 2 - I downloaded by accident thinking it was the original. It was so bad that I couldn't watch past the first 20 minutes. Also in grade 8 French class we had to watch this horrible French movie called Flight Of The Red Balloon, which was really pretentious and boring.

I don't live in NSW but my school definitely knew everyone's aggregate scores and their subject marks. I'm pretty sure your ATAR is just between you and the universities you apply to.

Woah nice! I don't know much about admissions, but you should definitely still apply.

Yeah I just looked at the graphs then. My S2 score is in the ~45th percentile. Hah... Makes more sense really considering I thought a 50-year-old sexual predator cracking onto a young guy was a 20-year-old woman and answered accordingly. :P

S1: 59 S2: 58 (Weird - I was expecting like 20) S3: 50 Overall: 166 Percentile: 75% TBH I wasn't even sure that I really wanted to do medicine and I guess now this clears things up. I will give non-standard a shot if I decide I really want to do it.

They are going the completely wrong way about it, though. That's why people are taking issue with the fixation on returning to surplus, which in itself is pretty short-sighted. By raising the GST, they will be taxing everyone at what will basically be a flat rate which will peddle the gap...
