Just basic details please.

A 5.0cm^3 sample of 0.135 moldm^3 hydrocholoric acid is added to 995cm^3 of water. Calculate the pH of the solution formed.

mol HCl = (5.0 ×10^-3) × 0.135 = 6.75 × 10^-4

-log[6.75 x 10^-4] = 3.17

pH = 3.17

My question is, why do you do this bit: (5.0 ×10^-3), and where does the x10^-3 come from?

Thank you!

Okay, so I set a picture from my files to my desktop background. It fit the screen perfectly, wasn't zoomed in and wasn't distorted in the slightest.

A few days later, someone changed my background and since then, I tried to re-set it as the picture mentioned above. Only this time, it's either really zoomed in or really distorted, regardless of whether I use any of the three options tile, centre or fit to screen.

I don't want to change the resolution because my whole display changes, not just the desktop background, and I've tried saving the photo from the internet, which worked, but it's far smaller than the original size and not as good as the first time.

How do I get my background so that the larger picture from file is centred and not stretched or zoomed in?

Please help, it's so irritating :(

This isn't as long as it seems, PLEASE read :(

I'm on the combined pill, but I missed two from the packet (separately) about 2 months ago and was advised to start my next pack straight away - so I took two packets back to back.

My bleed after this was late, by about 4 days, and not really a bleed at all; it was brown and dark, and so light that I only needed pantyliners, and this was completely different to normal.

Firstly, I'm not sure if that's just because of taking the two packets back to back or not (that was the first time I've done that).

I was concentrating so hard on what was going on with that, and on a lot of other things too that I forgot to go back on the pill on the right day, and in the book it says that you are protected if you start again on the right day.

I'm now experiencing leukorrhea for the first time, and there's no chance of STI, and I have no itching etc and it's unlikely that it's an infection.

What I'm trying to ask is could this give me a higher chance of being pregnant?

Also, how long into pregnancy does leukorrhea start, and how long after leukorrhea or conception can I take a home test?

Thanks.

And how many weeks till a home test can be done?

If so, how was it different?

I'm on Microgynon 30, but I'd still like to know about your experience even if you're not using this.

So my boyfriend and I need to dress up as any characters from any film with Harrison Ford in it for an engagement party, but we don't have a clue what to go as...

Any ideas? :s

Anything put forward is much appreciated, please leave the movie title too :)

For morning, noon or night :)

Hey...

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to replace the meat with on a Sunday roast..?

And I've read that protein shakes are a good source for veggies, and make for good, quick, easy breakfasts. Can anyone expand on this for me please? I'm not gonna bulge out or something if I have protein shakes am I? lol...

And if you have any ideas on nutritious meals, please share them. :)

Pretty please?

Anything you can, as much as you can, please :)

As in play texts. I'm looking for Sarah Kane's '4:48 Psychosis' for an AS exam. I have the script on order, but I don't know how long it will take to get here, and I need to start selecting pieces, learning lines and blocking A.S.A.P. :s

These sites have been suggested before, I found them useless:

Any other sites? Please help.

How did/are you find(ing) it?

At what point did you feel that you were a non-smoker, and not a smoker who just hasn't had a cigarette in a while, in weeks, or months? Llike, when did you feel you'd accomplished giving up?

[this is the main question]

I've heard that the first week is the worst. Found the first week to be a piece of piss quite frankly, and I haven't had a fag for four and a half weeks after smoking for 36 years, but feel worse than I did while smoking. I'm on patches and lozenges.

Any info's appreciated. I've completely run out apparently... And I don't know exactly what it means. :s

Thanks for any help :)

Similar sort of style to those: http://www.mandmdirect.com/products-Ben-Sherman-Wo...

Something I could wear with nice skirts too, and trousers. That would look good with anything really... :S

Like, riding with no squeezing, kicking, hitting, and maybe looser reigns?

Do you ride with 'leg' - all kick?

Have you ever thought about other ways, without actually hitting your horse?

Hey guys, I have no idea what to eat tonight as a meal with spicy potato cubes. Any ideas?

Okay, sorry this is so long, but to give any kind of advice you'd need to know what actually happened I guess.. Please help..

It's my dad.. We (My mother, little brother (who is disabled), little sister and I) have put up with it for years, and it's not a constant thing, but happens. The only time he really talks to me is to be offensive. He verbally attacks us a lot, swearing and shouting, threatening. And sometimes physically too. Not so long ago he had his mother round, and was getting annoyed because she keeps repeating herself, and I can't remember what actually made him do this, but he chased my little sister across the room and tried to hit her, only my mum got in the way. He smacked her round the back so hard there was a mark for days, and at the time she actually kind of yelped, and couldn't move. She's a lot bigger than my sister, who's eight, and I swear that if he managed to hit her it could have broken her spine.

He went a step further today though. He pelted a remote across the room at my brother, who's very poorly at the moment. My mum saw the remote on the floor and asked what it was doing there, and he shouted. Then he got up to take a wrapper to the bin, which he doesn't normally do, and as he did, he had to walk past my sister who had been misbehaving earlier this morning but was now being perfectly fine. He lunged in toward her and thrust the wrapper in her face quite hard then walked off as she hit her head behind her and burst into tears after letting out a scream. In a raised voice I asked him why he did this and his response was 'I wanted to', and that 'it has nothing to do with you'. I left it at that because I didn't want to make things worse. When he came back in he saw that she was 'sulking' and picked up a pillow and smothered her face. The look on his face was so menacing. I managed to actually physically push him off of her (just about, I'm sixteen btw). The scary thing is, I don't think he would have stopped if I didn't push him off. He then looked at me and shouted that I'm 'not too f-cking old for a good hiding y'know' and looked as though he was about to punch me in the face. Whether he was going to or not I don't know, but he stopped himself, maybe because he saw the look on my face, I don't know.. But he sat back down, took another look at my sister and then smashed her in the face with a folded newspaper, then across the back of the head and then it flew out of his hand and hit her again. She was behaving leading up to this, it was only this morning that she wasn't, hours before. I screamed at him and followed my little sister who had ran off in shock literally screaming and crying her eyes out and tryed to calm her down, and all but him walked out the room too, to upstairs. My mum tried to busy herself by tidying things but was stressing out, and my sister was still crying and holding her head. She said that she couldn't actually breathe at all when he put the pillow over her head, and said that she was really scared and asked me what to do. That's the thing.. I have no idea. 'Dad' then left the house without a word and took the car with him, and he's not back yet. This was only two or so hours ago. My sister's okay, but my mum is still stressed. I asked her what would happen next, but she doesn't know either. She keeps saying that she's a bad mother and that she's let everyone down, and doesn't want to let us down by not doing something, but doesn't want to let him down because if she kicked him out there's no way he would survive on his own.

Which brings me back round to the question; what do I do? Do we do nothing, pretend it never happened, or should mother talk to him which will most definately turn into an agressive argument (and I'm worried that he'll hurt her again), or do I talk to someone or call someone or what? As I said, he's been verbally and physically aggressive many times before, but he's never tryed to actually smother anyone before. My mum doesn't like the idea of telling someone else, but surely something needs to be done? Please help? Any advice appreciated. Sorry this is so long.

It's a really crap theme - geek or freak. I know... :S

But yeah, any ideas other than big glasses? :(
