6-7 mark questions you'd like (1 Viewer)

[toadstooltown]

We all know we have our favourite questions and our not so favourite questions. In this 2006 paper I'd be happy to answer: enthanol (us as fuel or for chemicals in industry), ozone stuff, haber process, HPLC - Gas Liquid chromatography - Mass spectroscopy.

I really don't want a 7 marker on the uses of DNA in forensic investigations. So boring.

 

[mr coolerer]

Anything on the Haber process would fit me like a glove, I spent a week at an amonia plant in the holidays following people around, so i know it very well.

AAS wouldnt worry me either

 

[Tim035]

Anything in forensics except that crap on the ethical issues in general with the forensic chemist and a case study of how changes in technology changed the outcome of a case, so borring.

Umm in the core. AAS, Ethanol, Biopolymers, CFC's, Significance of Haber process, Mass water purification, acid rain would all be fine.
Things I wouldn't like ummm... That point on assess evidence on increasing concentrations of oxides in atmosphere, present information on recent discoveries in transuranic elements AND BATTERIES OH GOD I HATE BATTERIES!!!!!

 

[kezz_xxxx]

Core: Biopolymers, Haber process, contributions of Lowry, Davy etc (Whatever dp that is) as long as it ISN'T BATTERIES!



Shipwrecks: Solubility/Availability of gases at depth, SRB, restoration/preservation of artifacts.

i hate shipwrecks, how can you remember all the equations. also i would hate to have a 6 mark on membrane filters. everything else im pretty cool

Questions I like:
- AAS impacts on environment and society
- Haber Process
- Fermentation
- Isotopes in Industry and Medicine
- Historical development of acid theories
- Ethanol evaluation
- Effects of Acidic rain
- Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
- Purifying and sanitising water supplies
- CFCs and impacts on ozone
- Features of local water supply
- Alleviating problems caused by CFCs
- Historical developments in the understanding of electron transfer reactions
- Cathodic protection
- Chemical procedures in restoring artefacts

Questions I don't like:
- Battery cell comparisons
- Designing and recalling first hand investigations, especially those our teacher ignored!! Grrrrr......
- Recent discoveries of elements <----- This would be a killer!
- Biopolymers (paticularly cellulose potential)
- Named chemist in named industry <------ This would be annoying!
- Information available that indicates changes observed in atmospheric ozone concentrations and how they were obtained
- Effects of elements on steel properties
- Historical development of ship materials
- Comparing techniques of restoring two Australian artefacts

Do you believe in Murphy's Law? What CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong? lol

 

[Nodice]

Bring it all on. =)

 

[kezz_xxxx]

Something else I would really dislike:

Description/Evaluation/Assessment on the prac for the sulfate content in fertiliser.


I hate that prac.

 

[Bob.]

why doesnt anyone like batteries? i think they are the best. just draw up a table and compare the two, easy as that. im really not looking forward to long answer questions in forensic chemistry.

 

[bboyelement]

do you think they will ask you to draw up the battery and show the anode and cathode and electrolyte because i got one in the trials

 

[Riviet]

7 marker on ethanol just like in the catholic trial would be great.

 

[pLuvia]

Anything to do with ozone/CFCs, batteries, ethanol to an extent and some form Trebla's list

 

[Tim035]

Batteries came up in 01 as a 7 marker and in last years as a 5 marker so praying to the heavens for not another one this year.
Reason they suck is because the anode and cathode equations are such a bitch to remember as well as to draw/explain the physical nature of the cell

 

[Guernica]

"Write your name"

or... an ethanol question.

 

[XcarvengerX]

Questions I don't like:
- Named chemist in named industry <------ This would be annoying!

We don't have to know the name of a chemist; we are only asked to outline the role of a chemist in a named industry.

I would say fermentation first hand investigation would be a nice question, but don't quote me for that because never once I correctly predicted a question for HSC.

 

[suzieee]

i dont want any on batteries, haber process would be ok, ethanol would also be ok.... but i prob wont do any good anyway, so it wont really matter

 

[izzy88]

i wouldnt like to get a question on measuring ozone- TOMS and dobson units and that stuff...yuk!

 

[royaaran]

i hate all of it.....was it just me or was the 2005 paper hard

I wouldnt mind haber process, ethanol questions, AAS, alkanes/alkenes...shit like that.

i dont like batteries, anything to do with the atmosphere, BIOPOLYMERS and i hate SHIPWRECKS...what an irritating subject:S


But no-one has said anything about calculations???? I for one know i am screwed in that part...i dont know nufin =D
