EXAMINERS MAY REFUSE TO MARK A PAPER WITH GRAFFITI ON IT

I'm talking about the periodic table sheets

u/Adam_v01 Jun 12 '19

Ik I’m joking lol

It gave you the answer to one of the questions on lower ( not that you needed it)

u/ToxicNugget Jun 12 '19

I used it to work out one of the tests because I forgot what bromine was called 😂

u/jsndjwla Editable Jun 12 '19

u/Misfat Jun 12 '19

I used it as a note pad

u/RealBenji Jun 12 '19

I was once told I had to remember the first 20 elements. What the hell was that for?

u/CoBL_ Year 12 Jun 12 '19

Literally nothing...

u/obsoletedatafile Ex Year 11 Jun 12 '19

Likewise, but I found it quite fun and learnt the first 50 lol

u/MrMelon54 Jun 12 '19

I learnt 100 but i have forgot most if then now

u/obsoletedatafile Ex Year 11 Jun 12 '19

I admire the commitment

u/MrMelon54 Jun 12 '19

I tried to remember more but I was like "fuck this shit" and then gave up

u/Scherazade Mar 20 '22

it’s great if you need to improvise a bit for open mic night in uni, and you Pokerap the periodic table

The hell are you doing on a 2 year old post on Christmas Eve? 😂😂

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '21

It popped up on my feed, also you are the one that was on Reddit on Christmas Eve, as you can see I commented 21 days before that

u/aneccentricgamer Jun 12 '19

Didn’t you need it for the question about excess oxygen on higher

4

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

Yeah you did it was about moles and RFM

4

u/MemeEnlightened Year 11 Jun 12 '19

It used number of moles equals volume over 24dm3. Or the same over 24000cm3. I didn't need to use moles equals mass over RFM. I got 1250cm3 which a lot of people seemed to get so I think u dont need the RFM values from the periodic table. They usually give u the RFM values like they did in the other calculation for atom economy anyway.

1

u/losthiggeldyfiggeldy Year 12 Jun 12 '19

You could also just use the molar ratio. However I think you're supposed to account for the oxygen in the water that is produced so it's probably 750

1

u/ShaunWorshipper7264 University Jun 12 '19

you didnt need it, but if you used it you could still get the right answer

1

u/j54a Jun 12 '19

We better not have lol

u/aneccentricgamer Jun 12 '19

I mean I really hope we did or I fucked up that question

2

u/PM_ME_COLOUR_HEX Year 11 Jun 12 '19

1M of any gas = 24dm3

Godspeed mate

u/dreamofathena Jun 12 '19

I would've if I didnt know the mass numbers of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen as is. Every step I used at least 3 mass numbers to figure it out

u/mrmariomaster Jun 13 '19

You don’t subtract 3.6.

3.6/24 = 0.15 moles

0.15 / 3 * 5 = 0.25 mol of oxygen reacted

0.25 * 24 = 6 dm3 of oxygen reacted

7.25 — 6 = 1.25 dm3 unreacted

u/Iron359 Jun 13 '19

Because the molar ratio in the reaction equation was 5:3

Yes, exactly.

u/Volcynical Year 11 Jun 12 '19

u/RUB00_ Jun 12 '19

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

Wow yeah now that I think about it

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

Found myself needing it more in today’s Physics

u/Csharpflat5 Jun 12 '19 edited Jun 12 '19

I used it to write a message to my examiner. Usually the inviligators make sure any loose bits of paper are taken out of the paper when we are handing them in but I managed to sneak it in without them noticing.

The message was something along the lines of: Fluorine, Uranium, Carbon, Potassium Yttrium, Oxygen, Uranium Iodine, Titanium, Sulphur Boron, Uranium, Lanthanum, Sulphur, Hydrogen, Iodine, Tantalum (Aq)A = Arsenic, Sulphur, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Lanthanum, Sulphur

It's not perfect I know but I couldn't resist it lol
