Quiz:
Know IGE and GGE forwards and backwards. Remember that the relationship between a gas and dissolving that gas into water is the moles (they don’t change… see the video below). Also remember the partial pressure problems - know Dalton’s law of partial pressures.
Know the basic thermo and Hess law terms (define/apply) and a basic problem.
WPR:
Think the Quiz plus 2 lessons (explosives). We have the calorimetry lab in class (I’ll demo it this week: add 2 M NaOH and 2 M HCl together and monitor temperature). If you max the quiz, you’ll have the majority of it covered. If not…

~ 20 min, long but great imo
Think about combining concepts into a more complicated problem.

Covers Lsns 1-11. You get your calculator, RDC, and pencils.
Do not study by yourself. Groups are better for problem solving UNLESS you find yourself being LEAD/SPOON FED… if so, find yourself the time to re-work
Go over old WPRs and ensure you can do *every* problem.
Go over as many Combustion (2 variants: CxHy only and CxHyOz) as possible.
Go over as many Limiting Reactant problems as possible.
When I’m authorized to return Quiz #2 I will. Ensure you can max it.
Know the naming flow chart.
HOFBrINCl
Fig. 2.19 with Tables 2.3 and 2.4
element - defined by protons (Atomic Number)
ion - defined by electrons (monatomic or polyatomic)
isotope - defined by neutrons (carbon-12, carbon-13 etc)
Know all Define/Apply terms from the GLOSSARY!!!
Pay special attention to the word problems (like the last one on Quiz 2) where you have to tease out: A) the chemical formula that you need to balance; B) Chemical formulas for individual compounds so you can calculate molar masses; and C) the data you want to start with for your picket fence.
Always start your picket fence with what you want to find, like this (fake numbers):
