Organic waste: Students are investigating the reactions and properties of organic compounds from Heinemann Chemistry 2 VCE units 3 & 4.
Esters – preparation, properties and disposal
This is a combination of several questions
Organic chemistry: Could someone please advise about the safe storage and disposal of esters.
Dissecting cane toads in WA: Could you please advise on the status of importing cane toads into WA as preserved specimens.
