    Naming Citric Acid

    Hi all, For citric acid, I was wondering the reason behind it being named "2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid" as opposed to "1,2,3-tricarboxylic-2-hydroxypropane" The reason I ask is that I was under the impression that when naming hydrocarbons, the segments are put in...

    using shorthand when proving

    Not sure how much help this is, but the syllabus does use some short hand. For example, in page 24, they write "Angle sum of a A" (of a triangle... not "A")

    When are we expected to prove a maximum?

    Hey all, If a question asks to find a maximum on a complex curve and there is only one turning point, are we still expected to find the double differential? For example, in the 2005 Maths paper, question 10 (b) (iv)...

    Hey all :) I've had some conflicting responses to this question and I'm not quite sure which is correct. For Halons, do all the hydrogen atoms need to be replaced with Halogens, or just at least one? Thanks! Chris :)

    "Identify" Dot Points

    Supposedly silly question 2 weeks away from the HSC, but do "identify" dot points just require you to know the words on the syllabus page? For example, "Identify disease adaptations, including: * Inflammation response * Phagocytosis * Lymph system * Cell death to seal off pathogen"...

    Rounding in Physical Applications of Calculus

    Hi all! When converting a decimal to a time in physical applications of calculus, do we round up or down? For example, say your answer is 2.885 years (where year 0 = 2008), but the question wants the answer as a year and months. So we convert the 0.885years to a month and we get 10.6...

    Smoking in a car with under 16 yr olds now illegal

    I couldn't agree more... if a driver had just about anything else in their hand while driving, they'd be in strife for not having both hands on the wheel. What's the difference between holding a mobile phone on loud speaker in one hand or holding a cigarette? (apart from the latter option being...
