Hey guys I made a checklist for chem that you guys could use as well:

POM
-Alkane/Alkene Experiment
-Biopolymer
-Alpha, Beta, Gamma decay
-Radioisotopes (Medicine+Industry)
-Dry Cell or Lead Acid cell and Button Cell or etc
-Combustion of alkanols exp.
-Production of polymers (PVC, Polystyrene, L.D/H.D Polyethylene)

AE
-Indicators memorised
-Esterification exp.
-Titration exp. (+Preparation of standard solutions)
-Acid definitions through time (Davy, Arrhenius, etc)
-Buffer system example
-Citric Acid's formula
-Sulfur dioxide + Nitrogen dioxide
-Definition of strong, dilute, concentrated, weak in relation to acids


C M&M
-CFC's + Their reactions with ozone
-Haber Process Background
-Haber Process Conditions
-Parts per million + AAS
-Anions/Cations precipitate/flame tests
-Pollutants (NOx, SOx) and their natural/industrial sources
-Hardness+Turbidity experiments
-Eutrophication (DO and BOD)
-Water treatment
-Role of a chemist in industry + a chemical principle they use.

Shipwrecks
-Electrolysis
-Sacrificial anodes, impressed current, etc
-Properties of Iron and two forms of steel (eg. structural and stainless)
-Rust equations
-Scientists who developed electrolysis (Faraday and his homeboyz)
-Sulfate Reducing Bacteria equations
-Ships changing materials in history

If there's anything I've missed, tell me so and I'll edit. Rep me if you liked this.

Also if you have questions, ask.

For POM i'd also include potential of Ethanol and the derived materials of Ethylene, polystyrene and PVC
For AE i'd also include Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides...

This is not bad for a quick check-list but there's still a lot more stuff you should know.

I would agree, this checklist was really made for me and I have done a solid amount of study for chem so there's stuff I take for granted. These were just for questions I think that may be more than 3 marks.

lol that guy
At OP,
I tihnk for shipwrecks you should i also go over the historical developement of the choice of materials used in ships as well, they might ask a few markesr on it given that this years HSC is pretty fked up

Should i learn about the lead acid and button cell too? Or will the galvanic and dry cell be enough? Mind you we only learnt about the galvanic in class.. A dry cell question popped up in the trial and we had not even covered it!

According to the syllabus you will need to know either a lead acid cell or dry cell and be able to compare it to either a button cell or fuel cell or gratzel cell or lithium cell or vanadium redox cell
You wont need to know both a lead acid and dry cell

yes...they are so easy to learn...the redox reactions are on your potentials list for Mn I think.

I did that book before trials for my revision (although took me 3-4 days to get through it).
There was a couple things missing in it which could be on the exam, can't remember what they were though

LOL
I got a whole bunch of textbooks for chem/phys but i dont use them, i write up my own dot points and it usually takes me 4hrs to go through the whol syllabus

hey, for the industrial radioisotope what are you using? I was using americium-241 in smoke alarms, but that seems domestic not industrial to me....

Industrial I'm using Na-24 which emits radiation and has a 15 hour half life. It is put in pipes/watersystems/etc and they go along the pipe with a geiger counter or whatever and when radiation is detected they find the leak. Its good for this because of its 15 hour half life which means that the water is drinkable again in 15 hours.

I got my two mainly off this website called easychem, google it and it probably give you a more accurate description.

I'm using this aswell (from excel hsc chem book)

im using sodium 24 which is used to detect leaks in pipes americium- 241 sounds legit to me because they would use those smoke alarms in industry technically

Ive learnt the americium radioisotope and we are doing the cobalt-60 (gauging) isotope, but never heard of the Sodium-24 one o_O
