For acids and bases?

nope, for equilibrium

 

[f7eeting]

thats standard math level if you are looking for fun through math you aren't getting that in hsc physics unless you unnecessarily overcomplicate stuff on purpose

do you think physics would be a better course if they allowed stuff from adv and even ext 1 to be used?

 

[f7eeting]

how do you conduct experiments on that topic......

haha well we dont actually need to do an experiment
instead we have to design an industrial plant which maximises the yield of a certain molecule using le chateliers principle and collision theory

 

[f7eeting]

oh we got to write a cheat sheet on that and take it to the test for long answer questions. Haber process on top just because its so much easier than the contact and solvey processes.

woahh i chose to do the haber process for my depth study lmaoo!!
and you're so right, it is so much easier to study than the other processes

 

[f7eeting]

I may as well learn induction if I'm getting so many questions of this nature

tbh tho i feel like when you learn induction you don't really learn where the sums even come from in the first place, you just try and manipulate the sum to get it into whatever the question wants
its more about the process than what the sums actually are yk?

 

[f7eeting]

you're lucky that you get to talk about that for your depth study. Ours is on titrations i just really hope it's not back titrations or something cooked like that

not titrations
i dont know why, but titration is such a baffling topic to me

 

[f7eeting]

All those questions can literally only come our as "here's the formula use it to find the rectangles hence bounds of this integral" along with a graph. They have to explicitly give all details

oh well if theyre giving the formula then you're chilling. it wouldve been a lot more difficult if they expected you to prove the sum from the type of function you're integrating or something

 

[f7eeting]

Its like how using the formulae is barely the surface but what I want to know are where the formulae come from and can any patterns be associated with the derivations of these formulae as powers are raised

ikr? i wish i had the time to understand all the sums and what each term means, not just algebra bash to get them out

 

[f7eeting]

You must be understanding them there is no way to properly utilise them with "algebra bashing"

This is literally all we have to prove at 2u level its no big deal

your working out is so satisfying to look at wth
and also by that i mean like, at least w what ive learnt so far ive never had to actually use any sums. maybe in binomial expansion (which was kinda fun) but in induction u rarely have to even apply the sums

 

[f7eeting]

what do you mean?

like actually apply the sum to a real situation.
induction is just here is a sum on the lhs... now sub in n=k+1, shove in n=k and manipulate the lhs until you get the rhs.

 

[f7eeting]

why would be applying sums in integration?

i mean like in other topics, i feel like sums are definitely applicable elsewhere

 

[f7eeting]

2u is really easy to gain a conceptual understanding but the questions they can give you are cooked which ig needs rote learning on my part

really? i feel like a strong conceptual understanding can legit get u through just about any question they throw at you.
most of the time, if a question is difficult its just something really simple you couldn't see at first.
this question i lost some marks in during my last adv exam required completing the square somewhere which i stupidly didnt catch

 

[f7eeting]

but they put in some super cooked questions and less than 15 people actually finished the test.

i mean damn how difficult did they make them? were they cooked as in tedious or just really absurd?

Try this question

when i wake up i will attempt this. also is there no upper bound or is fatigue driving me crazy?

 

[f7eeting]

wait i kind of dont know what a riemmann sum is

i seee... i will research in more detail later

 

[f7eeting]

do you not sleep

not really, no. the fatigue helps me come to epiphanies about maths and chem all the time anyways

 

[f7eeting]

how cooked can someone sleep schedule be......

during the holidays i would sleep exactly during school times lmaoo and i did my ext 1 exam last term on a calm 2 hours of sleep

 

[f7eeting]

the only time Ive ever gotten 30 minutes of sleep was art.....

how did that happen?

 

[f7eeting]

playing Fortnite in art classes instead of doing art what else would it be.....

i mean pretty worth it if you ask me
