Post by: mz24k on Aug 14, 2011
These are pre test questions I am very bad with chemistery apparently *laughs* So I have been on here as much as possible and see that Lena and I are at the same school taking the same classes. Lena if you need help with ' Mediolegal Inv. into Death" let me know, although I had that class months ago, and see that your done with your chem class, thats where I am now ;-)
So these are pre test questions, anyone that can help and maybe give page number where to look I would appreciate it much :)
Here they are:
