    cells: galvanic vs electrolytic: electrodes

    The sign of the electrodes refers to its nett charge at the moment. In a galvanic cell, atoms lose their electrons and dive into the electrolyte thereby leaving an overall negative charge on the anode. In an electrolytic cell, the cathode is connected to the anode of the power source and thus...

    Aidez-moi! J'ai perdu toute ma confiance en ce sujet!

    Étant juste 2 moins encore avant l'examen de français, j'ai perdu toute ma confiance dans ce sujet. Je ne sais pas comment je pourrai étudier pour ça. De plus, mon prof est un imbecile qui ne me conseille pas comment je pourrais m'ameliorer. Je sens si perdu. Dites-moi comment vous en revisiez.

    Parlons-nous le francais ici!

    Moi, je trouve que l'etudie de n'importe quelles langues comme le français par exemple est le plus difficile matiere qu'on peut faire en HSC/VCE. C'est parce qu'on ne peut pas l'etudier en même façon que le mathematique, la science ou l'histoire. Ça m'ennuie.

    Doctors fail basic anatomy

    Me being misguided? As far I can ascertain, it seems to be the Med students who are being misguided.

    Doctors fail basic anatomy

    All you have to do is just at the start, the UMAT. A lot of bright people are being excluded by a test that is supposedly meant to totally asses your personality and hence worthiness to Medicine.

    production of esters anyone??

    I believe it's called a Carboxylic Acid not an Alkanoic Acid. Furthermore, I don't think the reaction is an acid/base reaction as there are no receiving and donating of protons and H2SO4 is only there acting as a catalyst and hence is neither consumed nor altered from the reaction.

    Internet porn - Opt in or opt out?

    Whilst he's at it, why doesn't Beazley shut down all the ClubXs around australia, and maybe prevent cinemas from showing explicit films. How does the internet differ from other forms of communication anyway? It's illogical.

    Going to formals solo

    Yeh it's in twelve weeks. For some really odd reason, people in my school (Melbourne Grammar) seem to think that going to the formal solo is perhaps one of the lamest thing one can do in one's school career.

    Taking the MCAT

    Hey guys, has anyone ever tried taking the MCAT? I heard that all the Australian Universities accept the MCAT. I was thinking of doing that as a Plan B if in lieu with a BSc if I don't receive an undergrad offer for 2007 as the MCAT is also accepted throughout the USA.

    Going to formals solo

    Yep, that's the problem with single-sex schools. Not enough exposure to the opposite sex.
