<p>Hey guys.</p>
<p>So how many of you plan on taking the AP Chemistry exam in May? I'm sure there are plenty of you out there. Let's use this thread as a discussion for topic matter, and questions that we may have about the test in general.</p>
<p>Just wondering, what part of the curriculum are you guys up to? We're a bit behind, since we are starting equilibrium this week.</p>
<p>We are about to finish up Weak Acids and Bases.</p>
<p>So apparently this years “This is Sparta” is: “Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”
Hahahahaha</p>
<p>We finished equilibrium, and we just have acids/bases, thermodynamics, and a couple more topics. My teacher told me we’d be done about a week before the AP exam. If you’re studying from Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity by Kotz, we have just chapters 17-20 to finish.</p>
<p>All we have left is Electrochemistry and then we’re reviewing for all of fourth quarter.</p>
<p>Does anybody else love this class? AP Chemistry is definitely my favorite class I’ve ever taken. …so much better than AP Bio…</p>
<p>So if this is supposed to be like the one for AP Bio, I guess I’ll ask a few questions!</p>
<p>Pi bonding is found in all of the following EXCEPT:
(A) N2
(B) SCN-
(C) CO32-
(D) AsH3
(E) C (graphite)</p>
<hr>
<p>Excess nitric acid is added to solid calcium carbonate.</p>
<p>(i) Write a balanced net-ionic equation
(ii) Explain why statues made of marble displayed outdoors in urban areas are deteriorating.</p>
<p>I am taking it! About to finish Phases and starting on Solutions</p>
<p>im self studying for the exam. (I’m in IB Chem HL this year). we’re finishing up on acids and bases right now and then orgo… ughh</p>
<p>AP Chem will be the blemish of my hitherto perfect record :b</p>
<p>AP Chem is awesome, you learn how to use your mind more!
Topics covered:
Solutions
Atomic structure/geometry stuff
Kinetics and Thermodynamics
Phases
Nukes
Gases
Is our class behind/just right?</p>
<p>although not taking chem anymore, @nicksyn, D cuz double bonds usually mean that the compound has pi bond and D does not have a double bond.</p>
<p>hobbithill, if you haven’t done equilibrium yet then you are definitely a bit behind.</p>
<p>Anyone else using Zumdahl? We’re on kinetics now and according to our teacher we have four chapters and the nuclear chemistry chapter we skipped during winter break…seems kind of far behind :P</p>
<p>We did kinetics a month ago, so you are behind for sure. Have you done equilibrium, acid-base equilibria, electrochemistry or thermochemistry? I’m guessing that these are the four chapters you have left. These are the four hardest chapters and are covered most on the AP. </p>
<p>We have two chapters left and skipped nuclear chemistry as well.</p>
<p>We’ve done the chapter with Hess’ Law (Zumdahl), so I guess it’s just equilibrium and acid-base things left. When does one study oxidation-reduction reactions, or whatever they’re called? How hard are the remaining topics?</p>
<p>I just got 61% on my Phase test…</p>
<p>Ouch. What got you?</p>
<p>My class is testing over Thermo on monday, then all that is left is electrochemistry. Our teacher seems to go very fast paced. Should be done with electrochemistry by the end of the month.</p>
<p>I’m excited! There are only a few days left on Electrochemistry and then we’re going straight to reviewing!</p>
<p>We’re finishing at the end of march then spending April reviewing.</p>
<p>Gonna bump this up.</p>
<p>I envy those who have fast paced classes. I’m going to have to self study electro-chem, acid base, organic, nuclear, and solutions on my own. Could you guys please order the topics from most important to least.</p>
