    1. cant be bothered with typing equations so just describe. CFCS undergo photodissociatyion with ultra violet radiation producing chrlorine free radicals. the chlorine free radicals then attack ozone molecuels forming chrlorine oxide molecule. the chlorine oxide molecule then reacts with oxygen...

    Question: What chemical tests could be used to identify copper in a waterway and what concentration could be considered problematic. To identify the prescence of copper in a waterway, a few drops of sodium hydroxide can be added to a sample of water. If a blue precipitate forms then copper is...

    For a substance to be suitable for a primart standard it must be stable in air, have a high molar mass, have accurately known formula, a water soluble solid and have a high purity. Sodium hydroxide is hygroscopic and absorbs water from the atmosphere thus not a good primary standard. As well as...

    By replacling the voltmeter with a generator, the cell acts in reverse as an electrolytic cell converting electrical energy into chemical energy. The anode is positve and cathode is negative. Copper will be reduced and silver is oxidised. CU^2 + 2e^-1 ->Cu(s) Ag(s) -> Ag^+2 + 2e^-1 Thus...

    I dnt believe it is neccessary to know mhc i and mch ii for the biology HSC course. Its beyond the scope of our course as it does not state it anywere in the syllabus. As well as that yuou do not need to know the host response of malaria it only asks the Histroical deveolpment of tratement and...

    Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces sex cells (i.e gametes) that contain half the number of chromosones as the original parent cell. During Meiosis, different pairs of homologous chromosones behave indepentely of each other. The genes on the different homologous chromosones behave...
