@sippincoffee what did you just realize we need?
For people asking about spectroscopy, I think all you need to know is Beer’s Law. Pretty straight forward formula, higher concentration = higher absorbance. 
Mathman97’s explanation about the galvanic/electrolytic cell @APScholar18
@mathman97 how you do #2 on 2014 mc?
@Frigidcold it’s even on the reference sheet; very straightforward equation
Also, @Mathman97 since when does anode and cathode reverse in electrolytic?!

I don’t think the anode and cathode reverse in electrolytic…it’s just the electron flow that reverses.
@glasshours I heard we can’t rip it out 
which sucks alot
I know there have already been a bunch of speculation on what topics the FRQs are going to be in general. What do you guys think will be specifically on the long frqs? I really hope its not Acid-base. I suck at buffers and titrations (both my teacher barely went over and couldnt explain well)
@APScholar18 The fact that it does not conduct as a solid, but does as an aqueous solution points to the fact that what you’re looking for is ionic. The high melting point also confirms this. Believe the answer would be NaOH, hope that helps.
on the periodic table it says in bold letters “DO NOT DETACH FROM BOOK”.
(for both 2014 and 2013 exams)
So no i dont think you can rip it out.
@Zeppelin7 look up Rene McCormick she’s on Vimeo and has a great tutorial for titrations and buffers. Long video but I thought it was worth it. Also more on youtube that explain the basic and are shorter but I found this really helpful.
@glasshours Would you say that the AP curriculum overall prepared you pretty well for the SAT II?
Yeah the cathode always reduces no matter what. Its just what is at the cathode that switches with the anode i think for electrolysis
Could someone tell me what factors affect the rate constant, k?
I never said reduction/oxidation switches i said the charge of the anode/cathode is reversed
For the whole electrolysis thing, look at this:

I think it might help
Isn’t it just temperature ? @gxiy12
@gxiy12 The only thing that changes k is temperature. Hope that helps.
rate constant depends on the concentrations of the reactants, so temperature and pressure affect the constant
@Xurian for SATIIs you’re going to have to do some extra prep. You’ll have to know manometers for one thing and possibly some colligative properties. You should look a t practice tests but it’s pretty different. Easier definitely, but also different material
