    For the silver question... I get the method fine and I think I'm using the correct numbers, but how accurate do you have to be with the answer?

    Re: Cambridge Chemistry Challenge
    How big is the answer to the silver level question, roughly? Am I looking for a number smaller than 1 or maybe very big?

    I suggest reading the 2nd paragraph of "The Online Challenge" on the homepage.
