Rev Marion Gordon "Pat" Robertson (born March 22, 1930) is an influential religious broadcaster from the United States. He is the founder of numerous organizations and corporations, including the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), the Christian...

"If you go all the way back to the days just following creation, men lived nine hundred years or more." [Pat Robertson, Answers to 200 of Life's most Probing Questions, Bantom Books, 1984]

"I'm an atheist and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for other people." [Katharine Hepburn]

"The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church." [Ferdinand Magellan]

Conversion of ethane to ethylene and hydrogen is called "Steam cracking" Your teacher is correct. Although the name is misleading because there is no smaller hydrocarbons produced. "Catalytic cracking" is the splitting of large molecules (eg naptha) into smaller molecules (eg ethene).

"The great religious ages were notable for their indifference to human rights . . . not only for acquiescence in poverty, inequality, exploitation and oppression, but also for enthusiastic justifications for slavery, persecution, abandonment of small children, torture, and genocide. . . ...

Metals that create their own transparent protective oxide layer to prevent further corrosion eg chromium, aluminium.

A major cause of transformer inefficiency is heat loss from current resistance in the windings on both sides of the transformer.

This would be true if the electron in a hydrogen atom could resist the attraction of the positive nucleus, but it can't and it doesn't. The same way a satellite does not resist the force of gravity from earth, it just goes with flow. In the case of a satellite, the result of this inward...

Electrons in different shells are at different distances from the nucleus. All electrons are not equidistant from the nucleus. The radius of an orbit is given by r=n2a, where n= shell number and a=0.0529nm. The energy the electrons have is the sum of their potential and kinetic energies...

Electrons exist in specific energy levels according to their energy - higher energy allows higher radius of travel from nucleus. Electrons can't exist in regions in between shells because stable standing waves cannot be produced in these circumferences ( an even number of wavelengths) -...

"A non-inertial frame of reference is one where the laws of motion hold. In all practical cases, they are the frames of reference where gravity is the only force acting." [Simply Einstein 1999]. This definition seems to apply to all cases, but its not the BOS definition as you correctly...

Boo-hoo....you don't happen to like the style of another post. Sorry, I can't help you there, but I can suggest you help everyone by spending 10 lines on something on-topic next time.

pH probes should be calibrated with 2 buffers (with buffer 2 and 7 in your case- for offset and slope), and never allowed to dry out (this is hard to guarantee in a school environment where caps can go missing or not filled with water). Drying of the measuring glass tip will destroy the...

Mate, if you dont like it...dont read it The quotes are very relevent to the topic, easy to read and written by people who have put a lot more thought into getting to the truth than some posters on here. Chill...open your mind.

"eth" prefix means 2 carbons in total. C2H5COOH contains 3 carbons. Therefore it is propanoic acid.

moles NaOH= conc x vol = 0.1M x 0.0235L =0.00235 Neutralisation Rxn (abbreviated): 2NaOH + CO2 -> Na2CO3 + H2O So moles CO2 in sample= 0.00235/2 = 0.001175

You need to know the weight loss of the soda-water sample before you can calculate the answer. Its a prac, so the results are relevent.
