Just for Laugh - "3 Friends"

3 friends were stuck on an island after their cruise ship was wrecked in a storm.
Months passed. One day, they found a bottle lying around and the three of them pulled out the cork.
POOF! A genie appeared, and said: "Since you have freed me from my prison, I will grant each of you a wish."
The 1st man said: "I wish I could go home right away & earn a lot of money." POOF!! His wish was granted.
The 2nd man said: "Me, too!" And POOF!!! He got his wish too.
Said their 3rd buddy: "I will feel bored here without my friends.
Could I have them back? POOF!!

"The EeLynn Mango Sequel"

Topic : Particulate Nature of Matter, Diffusion

The MCQ Section. I would just like you to remember some important concept of the above topic (a) relative molecular mass a property of a gas that affects the rate at which the gas diffuse (b) Melting pts of pure and mixture of metals (alloy). The melting pt of the alloy (eg lead + tin) is always lower than the highest MP metal, in this eg it is lead; not both. (c) how the smell of a gas spread - diffusion

Many MCQ questions can be set just on relative molecular mass. But how it is set, always remember the key properties of gas, liquid, solid. Just ask you a simple MCQ question. Which of these 4 gases is the lightest? N2, O2, NH3, SO2. You must remember relative molecular mass. What's your answer? I can ask you from another way.
Which of the 4 containers containing the above gas each when the lids are open will be filled with air first? A(N2) B(O2) C(NH3) D(SO2)?

When water freezes to solid, what happen?
When ice melt to liquid, what happen?
When liquid evaporates, what happen?

Pls comment.

Pete & Larry bump into each other after many years.

They talked about the old times and Pete finally invites Larry
to visit him for a house warming party in his new apartment.

"Great, where do you live?" asks Larry.

"Here's the address," says Pete. "Just park and come around to the
front door, kick it open with your foot,go to the elevator and press
the button with your left elbow & enter!

When you get to the 6th floor,just press my doorbell with your right
elbow and I'll let you in."

"Good," said Larry. "But what's this business about kicking open doors & using my left & right elbow?"

"Hey," said Pete, "Surely you're not coming empty-handed?"

Just for Laugh - "Made in Japan"

Outside a Manila hotel, a Japanese tourist gets in a cab &
tells the driver to drive him to the airport.

On their way, a car zoomz past them & the Japanese goes:
"Aaah, Toyota, Made in Japan very fast!"

And another,
"Aaah Mitsubishi. Made in Japan, very fast!"

The Japanese goes: "400 pesos? It's not that far from the hotel!"

The taxi driver says:
"Aaah taxi meter, Made in Japan, very fast!"

You think you know how to prepare to answer Exam Questions

Hi All,
I would like to share with all Janice's friends out there.

Doing well on open ended exam questions, demands that you be well and thoroughly prepared with the concepts, ideas, theories and arguments of the subject. What do I mean? I shall illustrate it with a Chemistry Q appeared in your Mid-Yr Chem exam.

In the experiment to generate 30 ml hydrogen gas in a school lab. 3 experiments were carried out. I hope I got the Q details correct

Exp 1 10ml of H2SO4 10g Zn - 30 sec
Exp 2 10ml of HCl 10g Zn 5 drops of CuSo4 20 sec
Exp 3 10ml of HCl 10g Zn - 40 sec

What are the concept, ideas, theories or argument tested in this exam Q?
(a) the idea of writing balance equations in the above Q
(b) the concept of ion reaction with metal
(c) the concept of catalyst CuSO4
(d) the argument why Exp 2 takes half the time cos of the theory of catalyst
(e) the argument why Exp 1 is faster than Exp 3 cos of the theory of more H+ ions
in H2SO4 than HCL thus faster reaction
(f) the concept of computation of metal presence quantitatively in terms of mole

In conclusion, if you want to do well, practise lots of exam questions and relate back and grasp the concept,ideas,theories or argument being tested.
You see, when you read your text book, you may not be able to extract all the key points or concepts of each chapters. But when you have done lots of past years
questions, take note of the key concepts or pts tested in these exam questions and remember them. You see it is easier to remember key pts or concepts than remembering the whole text book. Worst of all, you may be remembering the non-key pts or concepts if you just read your text book only. Of course your text book must always be your pt of reference including your teachers notes.

Best of Luck.
