Upcoming Half-Yearlies

Hey guys, just a quick question in preparation for my upcoming half yearlies.

From modules 1 and 2, which dotpoints usually appear as long response questions?
not exactly long response but like 6-8 markers

Also, how in-depth do you need to know your batteries because I'm always struggling with the anode and cathode half-equations for like dry cells and silver button cells, they look so complicated and there are so many variations of them when looking through trials and solutions???

Hey! Long response questions are generally:

Production
- Ethanol/Renewability etc.
- Batteries/cells
- Radioisotopes

Acidic
- Acidic oxides
- Titrations
- Esterification

I totally struggled with those equations as well in my HSC year. I got them by the end of the year, but definitely not half-yearlies. Do your best to remember them, but don't stress too much; with practice, you'll remember them over time!
