    Programs Struggling to decide on MSc following chemistry degree

    I'm not yet in a position to choose, hence my original reason for posting. Reaching a certain point in my education doesn't suddenly give me knowledge about the present state of different industries. Thanks anyway though. If anyone has experience in chemical engineering, forensic science...

    Programs Struggling to decide on MSc following chemistry degree

    Which part of my post makes it sound like I must be in high school? I'm nearing the end of a bachelor's degree in chemistry and on track to graduate with a 2:1. Whether I'm in high school or close to graduating university doesn't really have any bearing on my knowledge of the professions I'm...

    Programs Struggling to decide on MSc following chemistry degree

    I was hoping for a bit of advice about the options I'm considering, or if anyone knows of a good place I can ask the same question, that would also be appreciated. I'm considering a few different masters degrees but there isn't really one that I think I'd enjoy significantly more than the...

    Programs BSc Chemistry to MSc Chemical Engineering?

    I was just hoping for a bit of feedback on how realistic of a transition this would be. I'm nearing the end of an honors degree in chemistry and the job prospects look a bit dire. In my area there are lab technician jobs that require the applicant to have a degree, and the pay is less than what...

    Question about tenting in H NMR

    If tenting is observed in a 1H NMR spectrum, I understand what causes the tenting to occur, but can the presence of tenting allow anything be deduced about the proximity or arrangement of the protons responsible?

    Do you see a problem with the wording of this chemistry question?

    Okay thanks. I think I'm just interpreting "account for" in the wrong way.

    Do you see a problem with the wording of this chemistry question?

    I don't need help with the actual question, I just wanted to know if anyone else thinks there's an issue with this question of it it's just me. I've spoke to my tutor and he's confirmed what I need to do so I'm fine on that front, but I was curious if I'm just interpreting the wording...

    Science education vs general science knowledge

    This feels like a strange question but it's something I've often wondered so I was curious about other peoples opinions. I'm currently half way through a Chemistry degree and have been doing reasonably well. However I feel that the chemistry knowledge I have is only good for helping me answer...

    Confused about some details of potential difference

    I understand how to do calculations involving potential difference but I've never been able to find any information that helps me understand what is physically happening to cause it. My assumption is that for a PD to occur, there must be a build up of charge to cause the difference in...

    In the haber process why is the yield higher when liquid?

    Sorry, I really do appreciate your help, but I can't see how your reply provides an answer to this question that I posted the link to "What effect would there be on the position of equilibrium if the reaction was cooled to below ammonia's boiling point and ammonia collected as a liquid?" With...

    In the haber process why is the yield higher when liquid?

    Thanks, that was an interesting read but I couldn't find anything that seemed to provide an explanation to the question I posted the link to.

    In the haber process why is the yield higher when liquid?

    I was doing this quiz and my question relates to question 5 on here. I may not have explained it very well http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/quiz/q88871702

    In the haber process why is the yield higher when liquid?

    I know that setting the conditions so that the product is formed as a liquid will produce a higher yield in the manufacture of Ammonia, but why is this?

    Chemistry Struggling to decide between physics of chemistry for career prospects

    Thanks for the quick reply. To be honest I don't really know what I want, that's why I'm curious about which careers have good prospects and are in demand. There isn't a specific area that I'm interested in at the moment, I just want to collect some options that are likely to help me into a good...

    Chemistry Struggling to decide between physics of chemistry for career prospects

    I'm having trouble deciding between the two as I don't want to go into any specific field, my goal is just to be in a position to have a proper career. I don't know which subject has more prospects in the industry but I'll probably want to progress to a masters eventually and obviously will have...
