Official AP Chemistry Thread (2014-2015)

i got 46/50 on the 2014.

i didn’t really record my frq score, but i found it a lot harder than the mc.

Niiiiice, I meant how did you physically find it online tho lol

i honestly didn’t think the 2014 frq was that hard, i made silly mistakes

I found the 2014 frq, where is the mc tho

so how common is it for integrated rate law to show up on free response, that stuff takes so long and i much rather differential rate law
out of the frqs ive done, i haven’t seen it all that much…

Does anyone have tips for quickly solving stoichiometry multiple choice (e.g. limiting reactant, moles of product formed)? It always takes me a few minutes that I feel could be used better :stuck_out_tongue:

@ambitious98 round the numbers they give you, i find that helps me A LOT

@ambitious98 - For balancing, it just takes practice. For limiting reactants and moles of product formed, just use ratios – not sure how you’re doing them right now, but some people use an elaborate dimensional analysis method that takes 2 entire minutes.

Do you have to include units if they don’t ask for it in FRQs? I know they usually ask for it with rate law constants, but merp :3

How many of you got a 5 on the practice test?

You should always include units, just in case.

for #26 on 2013 practice exam if they were put in a 3L container would the pressure end up being 3ATM?

does bond forming release energy?

yes

is bond breaking endothermic?

@APScholar18 you always need to put in energy to break bonds, just remember bEND (bending/breaking a bond requires energy aka endo)

what does a high Kip signify?

has anyone ever come across a question that requires either the arrrhenius equation or the real gas law equation, multiple choice or frq

@thelinah pretty sure they took that out in the new format

@thelinah CB is only interested in the fact that real gases have IMF and the effect that the IMF has on the pressure of the gas in the container (the pressure is lower since the frequency of the collisions of the gas molecules with the walls of the container is lower). You most likely won’t be asked to identify the variables in the Van der Waals equation.
