wasnt last yr the same tho and every year prior
Not really 2021 there was the ph buffer theory based q and a bunch of q which involved theory and calc understanding together

2022 was more calc but there was still relatively hard theory based q e.g. last q and the 9 mark was a theory q (although not difficult hard to interpret what they really wanted, was a long q if you thought they wanted method)

2023 has even more calc

How much of graphs are you supposed to write in pencil?

I wrote my entire graphs, including numbers, title and the thing on teh side in pencil. Is this okay?

in my chem class no one does physics and most of us do chem+bio
bio is shockingly small in my cohort (most of my grade do chem + phys or bio), around <50 (tbf they all dropped in year 11 cos the prelim course sucked) while phys is a little under 100 I think. chem is a little under 150 I forgot the exact number though

also did anyone get like 50 or 70 or something Litres for the amount of CO2 produced for the ethanol question?
(basically just x10^1 for magnitude)

also what HSC exam was similar difficulty to this one bc I feel like this one was easier than all of them, so I can reference scaling

Yeah i also used pV=nRT and got 81.something but I was second guessing myself tbh
I was goign to use that, but isn't that formula only in the year 11 course? In teh gas laws part? because there is no mention of it in the HSC

I only used it because it was the only way I could see to get volume from the information provided so I was quite unsure- definitely thought it was only a year 11 thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

i got 81.7L, thought it was about right because i remember it was like 3.16 moles and 3 moles of gas is heaps of volume. 1 mole of gas is 24.79L at slc for example
