    Why!

    Yes absolutely... do your normal analysis but tie it neatly to the extract and you should do well. Needless to say, during the listening aspect of the test take notes to remember the extract, it makes everything easier. good luck.

    Avatar or Avengers?

    Hmmm i liked Avengers more than Avatar... they both had there flaws though. Avatar ripped off much of its storyline from Pocahontas and Avengers was a superhero movie without the transformation from nerd to strong super hero, which makes those types of movies awesome.

    Help in chemistry question please

    Yeah my mistake, copper and gold are found free in nature but they were able to utilise these metals because they have lower melting points and could be easily reshaped. It does make sense and we are both correct, the un-reactive part is what is more important in an exam i suppose.

Gold was used first because its a free metal and because of its low melting point whereas other metals were used later because temperatures couldn't be reached. Also other techniques such as electrolysis...

It also depends on what the question is asking, if its a basic: 'describe one technique utilised' then definitely watch...
