<p>Does anyone have any predictions as to what will be on the free response for chem (particularly in the first half w/calculator) I'm hoping there won't be a full acid and base titration...any other thoughts?</p>
<p>I think #7 is going to be something to do with periodic trends, electron structure and hybridization/shapes</p>
<ol>
<li>Acid/Base titration or solubility equilibrium</li>
<li>Kinetics</li>
<li>Experimental</li>
<li>Equations (duh)</li>
<li>Electrochem</li>
<li>Periodic trends</li>
</ol>
<p>Do you really think they’ll want you to do the entire titration? Would that comprise all of question number one?</p>
<p>nothing on thermo??</p>
<p>3 or 5 could very well be thermochem.</p>
<p>Ya I think number one would be titration.</p>
<p>Would that comprise the entire question or just a part?</p>
<p>When i took chem, our teacher told us that number 1 is always a titration/buffer question, and sure enough last year’s exam had titration/buffer as number 1, from there on I think anything significant is fair game.</p>
<p>Eww…those titration curves take like 30 minutes to do completely! :(</p>
<p>May God help me if electrochem is one of the topics…</p>
<p>Damn. I hope there isnt any lab question on the test. Would be screwed since my teacher only gave us 4 labs to do throughout the year and i forgot all…</p>
<p>im feelin an electrochem this year. and solubility…</p>
<p>my teacher said there always is a lab essay question</p>
<p>we can just hope its something easy like collecting a gas over water!</p>
<p>watch it be spectrophotometer lab, lol</p>
<p>^ I hope it is. I’ve actually done that one.</p>
<p>I did it too…doesnt mean that I remember anything about it! :P</p>
<p>lol hopefully its similar to the spectro lab from bio cause we didnt do it for chem:P</p>
<p>Number 1 is always equilibrium (be that acid/base, Ksp, Kp, or regular Kc equilibrium)</p>
<p>So here are my guesses (I took 2009 practice today and am partially putting what was NOT on that exam because I feel like they wouldn;t make the tests too similar):</p>
<ol>
<li>Ksp</li>
<li>Kinetics/Rates</li>
<li>Electro</li>
<li>Reactions (obviously) ,I’m calling a neutralization, a redox, and a decomposition</li>
<li>Lab - determining moles of H20 in a hydrated salt</li>
<li>IMFs and their relation to properties (ex: boiling and melting points)</li>
</ol>
