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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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?

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...

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...

That makes perfect sense now. Thanks for explaining it.

I feel stupid asking this, but I just can't see it. I need to simply this and I already know the answer, but I don't know why this is the answer. simplify 3p-3q 5p-5q My first reaction was to remove a factor of p-q but that would leave p-q(3-3) p-q(5-5) Which would be 0/0. I...

I know that part would just be 1 / √x but I can't do much more than that

Thanks, that does make it easier to deal with. I'm still having issues though, as the problem is I can't simply them. I know this is meant to be a basic step just to clean it up, but I just don't seem to be able to do it. Using your method of avoiding the quotient rule I came up with this (I...

This isn't about any specific problem, I'm just hoping for a bit of advice. I've been out of education for a long time and am now doing an OU degree. I've passed the first level with high marks but have been struggling in some of the maths. Basically, I've been doing calculus and the bit I'm...

just realized it was in raidians mode. Whoops!

My calculator gives 8cos70 = 5.067 and 8sin20 = 7.304.

I need to find the length AD. I thought that with the numbers given, and angle A worked out to being 70o there would be two different ways of working length AD out. I thought 8sin20 and 8cos70 would both be acceptable ways of calculating the length but they give different values. Where have I...

I recall watching a documentary a while ago that explained the production of different force carriers. A bit that stuck in my head was that (if I remember correctly) W and Z bosons were able to violate the law of energy conservation. The energy to create these particles was apparently...

That makes sense now, think I need a bit more practice to make sure I pick things like that up. Thanks for explaining.

Could you give me a hint on the quicker way to do it please? I can't see it. The question doesn't require a minimal number of steps so I've already answered it the longer way, I'm just curious what I'm missing though.

That's good to know, that's what I was going to do but for some reason I got into my head that I couldn't. Thanks!

I need to rearrange an equation to end up with something else. It's supposed to be an easy question but I can't see what I'm doing wrong. Posting the actual text here would mess up the formatting so I posted a screenshot to keep it neat, I hope that's okay. Have I done the entire thing wrong or...

I recently started a (self study) degree in physics and I'm enjoying it so far, but I feel like my brain has turned to mush. I've been out of education for a while but back when I was in school and college, I could pick new things up really easily, do big calculations in my head, etc. but I just...

ohh I feel really stupid now. Any number to the zero power is equal to 1. I already knew this but mistakingly thought that the result of calculating kg0 would be 1kg, but the answer is literally just 1, isn't it? So the kg does actually cancel. I feel silly for not realising, thanks very much...

I'm trying to do a calculation using: Heat transferred = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature q=mc∆T But the value I'm trying to calculate is the change in temperature so I've rearranged the equation to ∆T= q/mc I think the numbers and answer I have are correct, but the...

Thanks for clarifying that. Is this process solely down to mass-energy conversion or does it relate to any other theorys? Like I said previously I've been reading about this theory but found very little mention of how it relates to the universe. Is it just not mentioned because it's obvious or...

I've always been interested in Physics so have finally decided to do a Physics degree. I've been reading various things to help prepare myself and have just been reading about the laws of thermodynamics and mass-energy equivalence. As I'm reading through different articles about these subjects...
