    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    We should do more questions relating to dotpoints where students often forego e.g. - outline the role of a chemist employed in a named industry or enterprise, identifying the branch of chemistry undertaken by the chemist and explaining a chemical principle that the chemist uses - identify the...

    Really? I would have gone with B. Calculated n: p ratio comes out to something like 1.6:1 which is not a low ratio :S Edit: actually idk anymore I wouldn't have gone with any of them lol -_-

    He aint gonna get a state rank with that last denominator (x-1)^x !!! : P GW though

    Life is pointless :'( EDIT: Well, looking at that question again it's quite stupid because n: p ratio is irrelevant once Z>=83.

    As I said, the equilibrium shifts (because H+ is being neutralised to H2O) such that citric acid approaches 100% ionisation.

    LOL damnit I read Q8 wrong nice keep going!! Sigh im terrible
  11. Q

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    No the answer is definitely citric acid :) During titration, the neutralisation of the citric acid forces the equilibrium to shift forward (ionise). Thus triprotic takes preference over any diprotic/monoprotic acid. There was actually a HSC question that targeted this exact knowledge (2011 if...
