# Aww . . .

Well, my 21 yr old stepson had English yesterday (retake - he's V dyslexic) and he thinks he's done alright . . . so in a bizarre illogical step this means you'll be fine too! HUZZAH!

# There was a stupid scientist

# nah that's not one of them
I remember cause I thought it was one on a test. Bad move.

# HF is not a strong acid . . . ?

# it's not one of the six we're supposed to remember and associate with being a strong acid
I figured out the last one. HI.

# Yeah . . .but HI isn't as strong as HF

This typifies education! Misteaching to pass exams rather than teaching to provide learning!

Bah!

# HI stronger than HF ???
inconceivable !! then again, i can't remember. i thought HF was used for etching things.

# hf is a weak acid
it doesn't dissociate as much as the 'strong' acids, not sure why - I guess the H-F bond is strong, or something.

but it is nasty stuff.
