    The Haber Process Question

    Hmm... I didn't make any measurements, I just drew it freehand. (they were nice looking curves though...) I don't know if they can mark us down on that, because there's nothing quantitative on Equilibrium in the syllabus. (or maybe there is in Industrial.. i dunno.)

    different explainations on pauli's exclusion principle..*confused*

    In 1925, Wolfgang Pauli developed his exclusion principle. This principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum state. Electrons are identifiable by four quantum numbers: 1. Principle quantum number (n) – The shell number of the electron 2. Orbital...

    99 UAI with no Premier's award?

    The dux of my school this year is going to get ~80 UAI, maybe a little higher if I ace physics on friday :D. On topic: People who get premier's awards are awesome.

    your hardest exam....

    Not as well as I should have; I screwed up my timing very badly and didn't even get a chance attempting Q10 (I could have done most of it too!). That means guaranteed < 90% raw for me, which is very disappointing considering how I went over the year. Might still scrape a band 6 if I didn't...

    multiple choice...WTF?

    You may be right. But you're bringing real chemistry into this. Remember, this HSC Chemistry, where the syllabus is king.

    Who's looking for a job Post-HSC

    I've never had a job, and I'm getting one shortly after the HSC finishes. It's funny though, because I don't even care about money or particuarly need any, I'm just doing it to pass the time so I don't go insane from having nothing to do :S

    school rankings

    I suppose in that case your UAI would be officially 96, (eg. no special awards and such) but effectively 100.

    multiple choice...WTF?

    Starch. Starch. Starch. AAS = Metals. Iodine ions are I-. In the syllabus it talks about AAS to test for cations.

    Identify Why the term G-force is used?

    That seems logical.... So on earth when no other forces are acting on us, g = apparent weight / true weight = 9.8N/1kg = 9.8m/s² = 1g Or on a planet with acceleration due to gravity is twice earth, or a rocket launch accelerating upwards at twice acceleration due to gravity, g = apparent...

    loud speaker help.

    I'd advise against drawing a diagram if you're using a computer, you know. It takes a while in paint.

    loud speaker help.

    In Loudspeakers, electrical signals are converted into sound. These signals are sent to a coil attached to the cone of the speaker. A permanent magnets surround the coil so that a magnetic field exists from the cone outwards. Since current carrying conductors experience a force in a magnetic...

    Identify Why the term G-force is used?

    G-forces, also known as acceleration forces, are measured in units of gravitational acceleration. A force of 2g would be 2 times that of the acceleration due to gravity.

    Q4+q10 2004 Hsc

    Q4: From your formula sheet, the Mass Dilation Formula: mv = mo/√(1-v²/c²) mv = 8/√(1-.6²) mv= 10kg (by calculator) This is the answer B. That 2 is a typo, they still got the right answer. Q10. You can see that (D) and (C) are wrong straight away, because current, field and force are...

    multiple choice...WTF?

    Oh, but they do. More importantly in the 7 mark question in the core section about cleaning water before it reaches the town. I can stand turbidity, maybe even a bit of algae, but i HATE it when I get crocodiles coming in through my tapwater.

    The Haber Process Question

    My answer. My explanation: As the volume of the container is decreased, the pressure on the system is increased. N2 + 3H2 <--> 2NH3. The reaction that produces the least number of moles of gas will be favoured. Hence, more ammonia will be produced. The equilibrium moves to the right.

    your hardest exam....

    3 Unit maths, because I never bothered to learn half the course (11th unit). I shall pay for that with time spent in the holidays learning maths. Ugh.

    Oh right. It's in the preliminary syllabus... Shows how much I paid attention in year 11.

    Some Tips

    After chemistry, I don't think our attempts at making 'predictions' are going to be very successful.

    Is this perhaps meant to be in the VCE forums?
