Official AP Chemistry Thread (2014-2015)

@SippinCoffee Thats not the arrhenius equation. Thats just the kinetic energy per mole.

Anyone taking the time to remember the Nerst equation?

Also for the people talking about the Arrhenius equation, thats also not covered on the new exam b/c it was stated to be beyond the scope of the curriculum/ap exam

@Frigidcold god dang it bro. I read that it could be used but i have no idea. I dont wanna review that. Im done.

wait, how do you calculate the effective nuclear charge?

why are triple bonds stronger than single?

@SoSophistic

@dallacowboys1 Relatively sure its just the number of protons.

stop complaining lol. I have chem and psych tomorrow. Calc on tues, lit on wed, apush on friday, AND lang next week.

@APScholar18 Doubt that matters for the test, but generally sharing more electrons and triple bonds are short.

My teacher gave me a list of stuff not on the test and one of them was the Nernst equation

Last year’s and this year’s and the next few years’ exams have been made for the past 5 years; thats why they can’t decrease the amount of questions, they can just add time.

someone please explain #20 from '14

can someone explain units for rate laws?

I have Chem tomorrow and then World History and Lang next week. It’s pretty nice. I’m also rather confident about WH and Lang so it’s no big deal. Chem is the one I’m scared for.

@APScholar18 You’re taking Lit AND Lang? Geez that’s rough

Also I think regardless of who’s taking how many APs, we’re all feeling pretty overwhelmed by this Chem thing so I think we should all get a little chance to complain haha :stuck_out_tongue:

@APScholar18 Well, you’re done, good try though lol.

Why do they put only half the rate laws and half-lives under kinetics? Do we need to know the rest?

AP Chemistry is the hardest class I’ve taken so far in high school. I’m only a sophomore, though.
