Chemistry Olympiad 2013!

<p>wait anybody here made camp last year?? im thinking only 5 spots open of the twenty since there are fifteen top 20 from last year who weren’t seniors…doesnt bode well</p>

<p>Going to camp in freshman/sophomore/junior year doesn’t guarantee you a spot for the next year. I would imagine at least a few people would not study and get lower.</p>

<p>^ true, and i’m hoping that people dont study, but i would suspect most would repeat…</p>

<p>I think I got a 53/60 and a 85% on the FR, which I’m actually realistically hoping will get me camp, the scores will be lower this year guys!</p>

<p>Haha well … the wait is upon us.</p>

<p>Anyone feel like discussing FR tomorrow?</p>

<p>I’m pretty confident in my answers, but then again, without an actual trasncript, it’s gonna turn into a whole bunch of
“NO THE QUESTION WAS ASKING FOR <strong><em>"
"I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER IT ASKING FOR _</em></strong>
”</p>

<p>I also got part ii and i’ll upload that tonight</p>

<p>Do top 150 get notified before the 5/6 date either by email or phone or is it just simply we find out on the date through the website?
Anyone from last year’s olympiad know?</p>

<p>Sorry to keep bombarding you guys with questions but I want top 150 so bad. Im estimating ~42 on MC so do I have a small chance?</p>

<p>There’s no notification for top 50/150 people. You just have to keep checking the ACS website starting a few days before the published date for releasing top 150 results - they tend to get stuff done a a little before they say they will.</p>

<p>Yes, I also think that they will announce top 20 before top 50/150 b/c that’s what has happened traditionally even though the dates on the website says otherwise.</p>

<p>42 on mc would most likely make it this year. The scores would dip to probably 40-41 for top 150 I think.</p>

<p>as promised: [part</a> ii - Imgur](<a href=“http://imgur.com/a/KaySN]part”>part ii - Album on Imgur)</p>

<p>What do you think the cutoff for HIGH honors will be? (I don’t think I’ll even get honors, I’m just wondering.) Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>thanks piphi!</p>

<p>@SciMathNerd I think 50, 75-80% FRQ?</p>

<p>@ Sophia</p>

<p>Agreed.</p>

<p>I redid the FRQ and [url=&lt;a href=“http://imgur.com/ic8aU4Q,D680VBC,N277si0,K3YbAlU,Ty1XE7C,VgWTRBE]here[/url”&gt;Imgur: The magic of the Internet]here[/url</a>] are my answers!</p>

<p>I got all of the same answers except for…
6.d. I just had no idea…
7.b.ii. The line should be slightly curved as this is a non-ideal solution (heat of mixing <0). If you have Atkin’s, you can see a similar graph in the Physical Equilibria chapter, I think.</p>

<p>@wagawaga yeah I agree. If you do the calculations and plot points you get a slightly curved line.</p>

<p>@Sophia7X, if the responses that you posted are the ones that you had on the actual exam, you’re going to make camp for sure!</p>
