    Proof that 1+1=2

    Doing 4 untit means not terribly much. That realisation is in your face if you ever do university mathematics, though you'll get suprisingly far on the 1+1 = 2 argument.

    FORCES of ATTRACTION

    I disagree, I find 'dangly earrings' stupid, but then again I find natural better. Tats a definate turn off. Learn to take a joke, how to spell and calm down. :)

    I value humour and conversation. Smiles often. Obviously a hot body helps! How would a donkey help?

    sulfate n fertiliser question

    If you wanted to test the filtrate for Ba ions you could make the solution basic and then add potassium chromate and a yellow precipitate would indicate Ba.

    sulfate n fertiliser question

    BaSO4 is a white precipitate which is very insoluble. HCl is to remove carbonate and sulfite ions which confuse the result. You could filter the solution then add more Ba2+ and a white precipitate would indicate the presence of SO42- ions in the filtrate.

    half yearly

    Well, yes you are wrong. Free radicals are neutral molecules or atoms with unpaired electrons. With unpaired electrons the octet rule is disobeyed and so we predict them to very reactive. Compare an atom of H, He and Cl. Chlorine are hydrogen gas are diatomic, but helium is monatomic. This...

    The campaign to 'fix' Sydney

    If you want to make a ruckus in local politics you need only a very few people with an opinion and inflated egos. To do the same at a state level you need a much larger protest base. State goverment doesn't count in ones and twos. When your street gets messed up by state planning, what are...

    deduce ions dot pt

    I good guide to what you need to know is to look over past 3-4 HSC Qs. I think you have to remember all the tests and the colours. Equations would be a plus to remember.

    Would you boycott bali?

    What sickens me the most is people who would not give to the Salvation Army because they are worried that money will go to Indonesia. That is plain racist.

    Breaking News: Schappelle Corby found guilty!

    It is well known that sentencing takes into account many things including remorse and prospects for rehabilitation. Knowing people who work in our legal system, far too many people with evidence trumped up against them 'find religion'. As a judge I'd be insulted if someone mocked peity in order...
