    silly trig question

    I think the rule you're thinking of is tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) but that doesn't apply in this case. Do what ssglain said and draw a triangle with opp 6 and adj 7 and then work it out.

    Chemistry-CrudeOil

    Hmmm fractional distillation is the only widely used method that I've encountered. Unless the questions is asking about separation of different length hydrocarbon chains (catalytic and thermal cracking) I'm not really sure I've heard of a widely used method. Sorry

    Urgent!! Formulas in test!!

    But be careful with that...they sometimes ask questions using formulas that aren't specifically on the data sheet but that can be derived by mixing equations and stuff.

And there are more...
