Neutralisation: when an acid is added to a base and salt and water are produced.
Okay, that was the worst definition ever because I can't remember it, but that's what happens as far as I can remember. There's alkaline and acids cancelling each other out and suchlike.

Question: (geography) What is the greenhouse effect?

declan_lgs

buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere due to cutting down of trees (which provide O2, and use up the CO2), and the burning of trees and fossil fuels. The Suns rays can get in through the atmosphere easily but cannot get out because of the CO2.... close enuff

Applied Science (Food): describe an experiment to test for protein

PurpleFistMixer

To Test for Protein: The Biuret Test.
Mash up food in test tube yadda yadda.
Add an equal volume of 10% sodium hydroxide solution.
Add 3 drops of 1% copper sulphate solution.
Shake.
If protein is present, it will go a violet colour.

Question (Chemistry): (I feel someone's already asked this but oh well, not gonna go and check) What is/Define oxidation and reduction? Both of them, yes.

Oxidation: A reaction in which the atoms in an element lose electrons and the valence of the element is correspondingly increased, e.g. the combination of an element with and oxidising agent like oxygen or chlorine.

Reduction: A reaction in which the atoms in an element gain electrons and the valence of the element is correspondingly reduced, e.g. the combination of oxygen or chlorine with an element alkali or similar.

Geography question to follow.

Questions

1. Name 4 land uses in the photograph.

2. Indentify two leisure / sport uses in the photograph.

3. Name two methods of transport shown on the map, but not shown on the photgraph.

4. Name 4 types of coastal feature on the map.

5. Comment on the road layout on the map.

6. What are the primary types of residential development on the map?

5. Comment on the difference in the density of the road structure to the south of the railway in the bottom centre of the map against the development directly to it's north.

Victor

Any takers?

PurpleFistMixer

The pictures are so small...

Victor

No so small that you could miss the airport?

You can find more photos here, not that they are needed http://www.dublinairport.ie/AR_Dublin/pdf/FinalEISDec04.pdf

ok I haven't studied much geography but I'll give it a shot.

1. Transport, settlement, agriculture and tourism.

2. Running track and grass pitch for football, etc.

3. Rail and sea.

4. Beach, bay, headland, and sea stack. [that was the closest thing to coastal features i could find in my textbook]

5. The main types of roads on the map are regional roads and third class roads. In the bottom of the map, the roads are mainly regional and they connect the villages together and to the motorway in the centre and bottom of the map. In the middle and top of the map the roads are mainly third class roads as there is less settlement. The third class roads link up with both the regional roads in the bottom of the map and the national primary road in the top of the map.

6. The primary types of residential development are clustered and linear. (not sure at all about that one, i think that's settlement, whats development?)

7. The road structure directly to the north of the railway in the bottom centre of the map is much more dense than that of south of the railway.


Well, I didn't have a clue about any of thatbut ah well, geography is NOT my strong point.

Anyway, even though i got that question horribly wrong I am still going to ask a question anyway.

Q: What were the main consequences of the reformation? (history)
[give five good points]

PurpleFistMixer

Consequences of the Reformation:
1) New religions of Lutherism, Protestantism, Calvinism, Anglicanism and Presbyterianism were founded.
2) More generally, Europe was divided into Catholic and Protestant areas.
3) Civil wars broke out all over Europe.
4) Religious wars broke out in Germany.
5) The Council of Trent met to solve the abuses in the Catholic church and set out the beliefs more clearly, in counterattack to the spread of Protestantism.

I'm quite certainly missing a consequence or 3 there, but onwards with the question anyway.

Question: What do these acronyms stand for? (randomly chosen from random subjects for extra fun!)
LDR
VDU
CAR
NICRA
SIPTU
RAM
CAD
ITGWU

I've got a feeling some of them may already have been asked, but oh well.

JBoyle4eva

VDu=Visual Display Unit
CAR=Comaund Annual Rate
RAM=Random Acess memory
CAD=Computrer Aided Design

Can't think of the others of the tope of my head.

What is the difference between an endothermic reaction and an indothermic reaction?

PurpleFistMixer

The rest of the acronyms stand if anyone wants to have a go...

Isn't it endothermic and exothermic, anyway? As in, in an exothermic reaction, heat is given off, and in an indothermic reaction, heat is taken in.

Question...
What is the formula for the equation of a line? (as in how do you find it)

J Campion

LDR = Light Dependent Resistor (go technology!)
VDU = Visual Display Unit.
CAR = Compound Annual Rate
NICRA = Is this the Japanese stock exchange? No wait that's, oh yeah, the National Ice Cream Retailers' Association?
SIPTU = Services, Industrial, Professional and Technical Union.
RAM = Random Access Memory
CAD = Computer Aided Design
ITGWU = Irish Transport and General Workers' Union.

Formula for equation of a line (I think)
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)

Give a brief summary of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, oh wait that's not on the course, is it...

Name 3 different types of monetary aid and give a brief summary of each.

I think its time for a new question, that last one was too hard

I'd say if you've done that topic in Geography it'd be fairly easy.
