    need help with preparing standard solutions EXP

    Q1: Well, volume is the reading that you get! Volume of NaOH=28.3ml (if you read it right by following the downward rule!) Q2: Mass of potassium phthalate: 54.71 - 54.07 = 0.64 g n= 0.64/(39.1+1.008*5+12.01*8+16*4)= 3.13388*10^-3 mol Q3: Ratio 1:1 n NaOH=n K phthalate= the above! []= n...

    How do I answer this?

    Um, do we have to explain why they use PVC but not HDPE or PS for certain products? I mean PVC is quite good since we can use some additives to change its physical properties slightly but see this, people explain that PVC is hard so it's used for piping but how about PS? It's obviously much more...

    outline the experiments carried out by gregor mendel

    You're describing it rather than outlining. Anyway if it costs more marks, we need to write more.

    help with choosing text

    ...You'd better know that you can't choose the same text types as those you're studying in class. I plan to choose novels as well but I haven't decided yet. My teacher suggests The Hobbits which is related to The lord of the rings. You can ask your teachers for mmore details...Um, it's a bit...

    Back titration and gravimetric analysis

    I think I'll try the 1st one as well... n NaOH: 0.02*0.1=2*10^-3 mol n HCl: 44.3*0.1*10^-3=4.43*10^-3 mol. Na can't be excess because twice n NaOH < HCl which is expected to react with both NH3 to give NH4Cl and some Na salts to give off CO2 or st else. The only way is NH4+ is in excess...

    Back titration and gravimetric analysis

    Ouch. I'll try the 2nd one since it looks shorter... Now I'm going to justify that 1.05g precipitate is mostly pure BaSO4. (assuming there's no presence of ions such as Ag or Pb that can lead to the precipitation of AgCl and PbCl2) In the step of dissolving ground fertiliser in de-ionised...

    outline the experiments carried out by gregor mendel

    How much does it take? 3 marks? I think: - His choice of pea to carry out is massive vivisection. (reasons include: easy to grow, successive reproduction, up to 7 easily observable characteristics: flower/prod colour, seed shape/colour, height, prod shapes, flowers at the end or in the middle...

    Production of Fertilizer

    ...You'd better post the question in Industrial chemistry. There's nothing like this in Production of materials and I'm just half way through Chemical Monitoring and Management. Not enough to tell you. hix.

    How do I answer this?

    There are a few questions where you need to get examples like but it's quite confusing. I mean, when considering which polymer has the suitable properties to produce certain things, I find their properties are certainly overlapping each other. Should we give just some suggestions that a polymer...

    Some correction needed!

    Re: Some orrection needed! 1st question: You're confused. Humphry Davy's definition clearly identifies the basic component of an acid as Hydrogen but not oxygen as Lavoisier's. This is the correction. 2nd question: Common mistake you make in here. According to Bronsted Lowry's definition of...

    Related material!!!

    Hey. I just watched The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I choose it as a related material as it suits the idea of imaginative journey. (No, we're not focusing on imaginative journey since we study the whole 3 types of journeys) I've got a few notes from my teacher if you want to have a look. It...

    Tutoring

    Sure, my two tutoring classes are to keep myself highly motivated, otherwise I'd die at school. Of course they are worth it. However, with that many tutoring classes, I have to say you're damn rich, plus your school is damn bad to keep a 'bright' boy like you interested, and your 'good'...

    Need motivation

    Sometimes those are platitudinous. They hardly gain any of my already lack of motivation. Basically, I just let my work follow the school's schedule. Tho it's boring at times, I find it easier to cope with 'cuz I can always find reasons to procrastinate otherwise. Motivation vs demotivation.

    Which Option Do You Do?

    Shipwrecks looks boooooring. I prefer Biochem or Chem of Arts but I'm doing Industrial. We can still change but maybe the majority choose Industrial. A few like Forensic but I'm trying to 'deter' them. lolz
