I'm pretty sure it was D, don't think the answer was the oil one.

I was like acid+base = salt + water so it has to be D!

So the one word response was Nebula? How about the one with the flow chart? I put Carbon, it just randomly came into my head. o.o

It's precipitate? I swear the last one was neutralisation. :/

Did anyone get a "closed universe" as a theory? Since you can't keep blowing balloons forever...right?
Besides, there are potentially more than one right answer for the 1 mark short responses, at least that's what happened in my school's yearly

Best case scenario: 95
Worse case scenario: 80

For the one that said what is mass measured in? Wasn't it KG? Lol at the mllimetres answer.
It was kilograms, many of my mates tried to convince me that it was newtons. I whipped the text book out on them.

No definitely galaxies and big bang theory. also it was precipitation (solid formed when two liquids are combined)

Yeah, Nebula and Carbon.

It's precipitation not neutralisation! I Hope!

If I put stars, sun, moon and planets, etc. would I get the mark? ;O

Oh that's right. Damn. :/

Wouldn't precipitate also be an answer? That's the experiment we did in our class it "formed a precipitate".
I would say that board of studies would also accept precipitate

I am pretty sure the dots on the balloon represented galaxies

you probably would get the mark, although they asked what REACTION had occured and it was a precipitation reaction, the precicpitate is a product of a precipitation reaction

far out looking at this forum, i have already lost a solid 5 marks in the MC, although the one word response/long response questions should compensate as im expecting near 45/50 for them combined.
