<p>For the writing reactions/products section, you still leave it in net ionic form with ions disociated and without the spectator ions, correct?</p>
<p>yes and you balance it
and you answer a question about it</p>
<p>Check out this site for the exam format and changes. You will need to register but it is definitely worth it.</p>
<p>Err which site</p>
<p>They'll give you a statement.</p>
<p>You have to write the balanced net ionic equation, with spectators omitted.
Points for this:
3 for reactants & products
1 for correct balancing</p>
<p>Then they ask you a question. Some popular ones, according to my teacher:
-Is the resulting solution acidic or basic?
-What are the spectators?
-What is the color of the resulting solution?
-How can you separate the components of the resulting solution?
-If you do a flame test on the resulting solution, what will be the color of the flame?
-What are the oxidation states of <<insert element="" here="">> before and after the reaction?
-If X number of moles (or liters) of reactant A are reacted (at STP), how many moles of reactant B are created? (or some similar stoichiometry/gas stoichiometry problem)</insert></p>
<p>The question will be worth 1 point.</p>
<p>15 points total for the reactions portion (3 rxns)</p>
