    What's the BIGGEST mistake you think you've made and totally regret?

    I regret laughing at my maths teacher when he told me how dissapointed he was with my 75% in advanced. "I dont really care... it didnt count toward my 92.75 and i will never need it again". That laugh has now returned and bitten me on the arse with the need for Calculus (among other horrid...

    Standards Package

    Your teacher might have it? I have the 2001 starndars package -- i dont think they did one after that. I might be wrong. If you pull out a specific question i can have a look for you, and ill see how large the file is to send.

    quick CHEM QUESTION!!

    Did you look at my diagram? "CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2 and related to that question, what mass in grams of calcium oxide is produced from 50g of calcium carbonate?" the mole ratio is 1:1:1 (you understand that yes?) Ok, so going from the diagram, we have Grams A (thats the CaCO3) = 50...

    quick CHEM QUESTION!!

    Ok i think i can do this. You are familiar with the fact that the number of moles = mass (of substance) / mole weight ? that is, n=m/mw ? Also, since the ratio of CaCO3:CaO:CO2 is 1:1:1 (does that make sense? It is because there is an 'imaginary 1' in front of each). Now, you should also...

    powerpoint -> PDF

    Not sure how to do this, but there must be a way! All my lecture notes are as a ppt slide show, and for certain subjects thats how they open up... then i print them as handouts, which is a pain in the ass cos i want 3 per page and also double sided -- so i have to put all the slide numbers i...

    I hated moles so much!!! The reaction above is a combustion reaction -- ie reacting with Oxygen.. just incase it confused you (it used to confuse me anyway). =p If 2 moles of Hydrogen react woth 1 mole of Oxygen to produce 2 moles of water, then divide all by two, 1 mole Hydrogen reacts with...

    Being Healthy vs. Dieting

    In general, energy in should equal energy out. If the kilojoules you are consuming is significantly lower than what you will be excersising off (or if you arent meeting your body's energy requirements in teh first place), then yes you can expect to lose weight. Base on some calculation thingy...

    quick CHEM QUESTION!!

    Ok after some deliberation. d) is definately correct. I dont know if you've done Spectroscopic notation, but thats what i have done at uni and how i worked this out. Potassium (K) atomic number 19 (ie. total 19 electrons). Potassium ion (K+) - K loses 1 electron, so now total 18 electrons...

    Have you ever dated someone you considered ugly?

    I said 'yes' but ugly is a bit harsh. They could be attractive sometimes, look quite unattractive others, and just normal other times. I think i have only dated one person that looked unattractive most of the time. Appearance isnt the be-all and end-all... so long as they look after...
