    Just to double check- accepting an offer from qtac wont affect uac offers?

    Hi guys, pretty much as the title says. If i accept an offer from qtac, will i still be able to get an offer from my uac preferences, or does gtetting the qtac offer and accepting it change that in any way. Thanks in advance

    Confused about delta H for spontaneous reactions

    hmm ok. Do we have to know how to find if a reaction is spontaneous or not? Or is that outside syllabus?

    Confused about delta H for spontaneous reactions

    yep, now is an endothermic or exothermic reaction spontaneous?

    Confused about delta H for spontaneous reactions

    Ok i have over thought this too much, what is the delta H of a spontaneous reaction? I thought -ve delta H would be spontaneous, but then i realised combustion has a -ve delta H, and you have to put some energy in for combustion (eg. lighting it). So therefore +ve delta H is spontaneous? This...

    Go to disadvantages for radioisotopes in industry and medicine?

    So benefits for radio isotopes are pretty easy- Sr 90 in industry is good because higher quality materials, doesnt have to be replaced often, can be automated etc. and Tc 99m in medicine is good because better diagnoses therefore better public health, allows for greater research etc. But...

    Color of Iron (II) Phosphate precipitate?

    Color of Iron (II) Phosphate precipitate?

    Hey guys, just been consolidating my notes for identification of anions, and for PO4 i add Fe2+ which gets you Fe3(Po4)2- an insoluble ppte. However, one of my notes says this ppte is green, but after looking it up to make sure- wikipedia says its brown? What's correct?

    Leaving calculations as fractions in working out ugly mole calculations?

    Hey guys, just a quick question With some mole calculations- titrations, combustion etc. Often the halfway point (such as calculating moles of one product which you use to find number of moles of a reactant) is a super ugly number- which comes out on the calculator nicely as a tidy fraction. Is...

    Chances of them asking for a second ORT?

    Hey guys, Just wondering what's the likelihood of asking for more than one other related text either in belonging or in mod C, whether its worth preparing good material for another ORT in both bits?

    HELP !!INTERVIEW-->UMAT percentile

    I'm going to say no. Your only hope would be unis that don't look at it (Sydney uni is one of the only ones in NSW iirc but gl getting the 99.95), and some other unis have a baseline (UNCLE, Monash) 50-50-50 in each section, below which they chuck out your application. Then again, if you get...

    Medicine is shit!!!

    yeah of course, and that is extremely true- in terms of personal satisfaction medicine is one of the best, imagine the feeling as you write the reports of your patient, each one being more and more positive of their outlook with their lung cancer until 3 years later you hand him a sheet of paper...

    Medicine is shit!!!

    Alright I'll give my two cents, second hand from my brother who is currently doing med. Whilst he is enjoying the course, and it is rewarding and all that, he sees that it isnt really all it cracked up to be. Most people think that there is a progression that easily comes after getting in: Do...
