Yes, it will be on Science and General Knowledge but not that general. Some Googling would be required. :wink:

Why are there 2 micromass's?
 
  • #25
It was a split decision.
 
  • #26
Actually Q9 has to be: "Which is the tallest mountain when measured from it's base." That gives the correct answer - Mauna Kea.

Yes, that is a formulation I can agree with.

Q11 @ #19 says: "What is the charge of Sulphate in Copper(II)sulphate?"
Wasn't it asked as valency? If it's charge, then ans is -2..

Valency it was, which is why it didn't make sense. Valency is a property of atoms, not of polyatomic ions. But it was apparently asked in the context of the number of possible bonds to other ions, not in the context of charge, which is why I suggested 2 was the correct answer (not -2).
 
  • #30
Okay.. so the question should read 'valency', then it makes sense. You got the 1 point for this, BoreK?
