    catalytic cracking

    Your teacher is an idiot. He/She should not put questions in an exam when they themselves do not know the actual answer. It is stupid to expect a student to know the answer when the teacher does not know the answer. YOU CAN crack ethane. There is not definate chemical equation you can...

    Galvanic cell prac obsolete?

    The CONDITIONS for setting galvanic cell would be: * concentration =1 mol/L * temperature = 25oC also, although not soo important * pressure = 1 atm (101.3 kPa) The voltages given on the HSC data sheet are VALID for these conditions. Changing these conditions of the experiment will...

    Reactivities of Alkanes and Alkenes Equations

    If you react an alkene, e.g. ethene with liquid bromine, Br2(l), only one product is formed, i.e. 1,2-dibromoethane. however, 'bromine water' is usually a 3-5% solution of liquid bromine. The presence of the water complicates the reaction and it turns out that there are more than one product...

    electron energy levels - Chem coach?

    The chem coach did not state that all electrons are equidistant from the nucleus, this would be incorrect. What i was explaining was the following: PICTURING ELECTRONS IN THE ATOM: Electrons in atoms move very rapidly and randomly around the nucleus. They do not (repeat, not) move in fixed...

    acidic env. problem

    theorectically magnesium hydroxide is a strong base. however, for all practical purposes, if a question asks you to name a strong base that you could use in a titration against a strong acid, i would not choose magnesium hydroxide as a strong base.

    acidic env. problem

    They should not have stated that Mg(OH)2 is a strong base. I have too many criticisms on what they have written on p160 in their discussion of strong hydroxide bases, and will not bother to discuss them all here. HF(aq) is a weak acid for the reasons i gave before, HCl, HBr and HI are...

    acidic env. problem

    This is a very important question, so i thought i'd better clear this up. A substance must be soluble in water for it to ionise (i.e. form its contituent ions). A substance that is completely soluble in water will completely ionises . the solubility rules for hydroxides are as follow...

    titration

    Although this salt is neutral, your justification is not sufficient, and would not be awarded many marks in the HSC exams. Whether a salt is neutral, acidic or basic, depends on its ability to further react with water. Does the salt react with water? If it does react with water, what happens to...

    ph question

    Do you know why this potassium ethanoate salt is basic? It is important to know that not all salts have a neutral pH. This is a common misconception since when students here the word 'salt' they think of NaCl(s), which is a neutral salt. However you should recall that a 'salt', in simple terms...

    Calculating E dot

    I would like emphasise another point, which was breifly touched on above. the table of standard reduction potentials gives in the HSC lists all the Eo values for reduction half reactions. These values are give in volts. HOWEVER, it is important to state that that these values are valid only...
