New Student F.A.Q. Page

If people could recommend some good prevoius posts to add to that page it would be greatly appreciated.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

There is no science without fancy, and no art without facts.

Surely there are a load of Borek's posts about pH, titration, ions, concentrations etc that could go in here :)

i agree!

No idea which post to add, but for sure questions about "How to balance equation" with this or that method are posted on a regular basis.

Updated the F.A.Q. with Mike's suggested posts.

Borek: Yeah, if I come across any good ones I plan on adding it. But, if you see any good ones, just provide the link here. It makes my life simpler. :)

Not perfect, but good enough - half reaction method. Oxidation numbers needed as well.

Are you still adding to the student FAQ section?
