    Comparing results of solubility test with general rules

    Consider contamination of the test tube or apparatus. And also hydroxide solution like Ca(OH)2[lime water] react with CO2 to form white precipitates.i hope this kinda helps. i dont think temperature has anything to do with precipitation but can affect solubility[which is negligible].

    Combustion reaction help!

    The main examples given in the chem syllabus are ethene and oxygen. But if u think about it the haber process is not a combustion reaction. C2H4 + 0.5 O2----->>> ethylene oxide [i think this has a Ag catalyst at 250degrees c] C2H4 + 0.5O2----->>> acetalehyde [this has a palladium...

    Decarbonation of a soft drink

    What is the General equation for adding salt in a soft drink and rapidly decarbonating it? {mixed up bcoz NaCl is a neutral salt and H2CO3 is a relatively weak acid} Can somebody provide a general explanation on this.

    acid/base salt assessment

    Basically it is asking u to name and classify the reactants as strong/weak acids and/or bases eg a strong acid and a strong base give a neutral salti.e. Sodium Chloride {from sodium hydroxide and Hydrochloric acid}. i think in ua task u also hav to consider whether or not the salts react with...

    Esterification

    . My organic chemistry textbook says "1-10 hours at 60-110o C." this is the industrial amount of time. It is quite impossible for an average chemistry lesson in New South Wales:cool:

    Esterification

    it all depends on many factors. I.e amount of water, type of heating(water bath or direct heatin), Current atmospheric conditions. and e.t.c. But also water generally boils at 100 degrees celcius. Water is usually the least volatile substance in a reflux. There is no exact temperature as it...

    Controversy...

    Read Dot point physics on the particular dot pt. Then expand ua knowledge with Jacaranda physics. U should be alrite. If the explanations dont make sense go to Macquarie physics.

    Induction cooktops

    I think the main reason ferromagnetic iron is used is because its the most efficient to use in terms of power and heat loss. Ferromagnetic materials usually intensify the magnetic field and this would increase the heat produced by an induction cooktop bcoz of the eddy currents produced. [not...

    Loudspeaker question

    Most books i have used have focused on the motor effect and how the voice coil and the external magnetic field affects the volume and pitch. This qsn is usually about 4marks the most it can give is 5marks.

    can someone please explain...

    Well its basically because of changing pressure which causes the different striations. But also remember in low pressure atoms(usually Argon) are easily ionised in the tubes. Striations are due to the lack of constant ionisation of gas particles causing different glows with decreasing pressure...
