    Essay questions [and] Greece

    Briefly: (I know this part doesn't really apply to the question, but it is important background info) The imperial bureaucracy (god I hate spelling this word) was developed by Augustus as he had assumed many duties and couldn't possibly cope with them all him self. The bureaucracy consisted of...

    Water Management

    Well firstly where do you live? And that really should've been an assignment. But if you didn't do the assignment I guess you best bet would be to go for the Sydney catchment area, which I know nothing about so I can't help you there.

    Question

    Thanks for that. I was almost positive it was, but this just confirms it. And this isn't that question exactly. That was 0.1% sulfur in the coal.

    Help Question

    That sentence doesn't really make sense, so I'm assuming you meant 'it IS possible to get glucose from cellulose' Am I right? EDIT: Ahh ok. My eye just skimmed straight over the 'im'

    Finding Valence

    Just remember: Carbonate (CO3) is 2- Sulfate (SO4) is 2- Phosphate (PO4) is 3- Hydroxide (OH) is 1- Ammonium (NH4) is 1+ Nitrate (NO3) is 1- And the rest can easily be worked out using the periodic table. Sorry for the late reply, and seeing as though its Tuesday, this might be useless...

    Help Question

    What do you mean it isn't possible to obtain glucose from cellulose? This might be wrong, but according to the Macquarie Revision Guide sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cellulose results in the formation of glucose. Although it does say that it hasn't been developed into a viable industry yet. Can...

    2002 Hsc Q21

    I'd say the question is referring to the natural environment, but it couldn't hurt to throw in a little spiel about the effects it has on limestone and such.

    Quoting or Paraphrasing?

    Personally I've just always worked the historians name into the essay, for example "as Tacitus states..." and it's always worked fine for me.

    you're all lucky

    To tell the truth I've realised I'm not to keen on either biology or spectrocopy but it is WAY to late to do anything about it now

    Any easy way of remembering ion/anion tests?

    I can remember the various flame tests (copper, calcium, barium) and the bright yellow precipitate for lead, but that is it. At the moment I'm hoping there will be a multiple choice question that gives us the tests.
