*Official CHEMISTRY (5/6) Thread*

<p>PS arent we not supposed to discuss questions AT ALL? </p>

<p>and question: how do they grade the T/F stuff...is it like all or none, or partial credit somehow?</p>

<p>^i was wondering that while i filled in the bubbles. i couldn't decide whether they would take 1/4 of a point off if i got it wrong. </p>

<p>the only one i've gotten wrong so far is the KI extraction w/ water. i said use the sieve.</p>

<p>haha i had no idea and said use HF... and i got the splashing sulfiuric acid totally wrong too..said FF, and WHAT WAS THAT ENTROPY/BURNING ALCOHOL THING THAT SOMEONE MENTIONED?i think i may have missed like an entire page..oh well...</p>

<p>the entropy one is the rxn where a solid and a liquid yeilded a gas, i believe...</p>

<p>so, how many CEs did everyone get???</p>

<p>why wouldn't it be alcohol burning?? **** they should have been more specific. solid and liquid might yield very little gas but alcohol burning would yield a lot?</p>

<p>hmm, idk...they really weren't very specific there</p>

<p>wait in the sparknotes book it says that if i omit 5 i get around 800 and if i omit 6 and get 4wrong i get around a 750. so is that actually true? i understand that it will be different by maybe 1-2 on different tests because of the curve. but 5 omit and still around 800 seems just too many...</p>

<p>i got 3 CEs, it think it should have been 4 though....other people?</p>

<p>thats right--its got a really big curve.</p>

<p>i think i got 4 ce's but i don't really remember</p>

<p>i got 3 CE's, but i felt like there was another...</p>

<p>I think I got 1 CE in the 1st column and 3 in the 2nd</p>

<p>I believe it said Alcohol BOILING, and that is not a chemical process</p>

<p>what the heck was the answer to solid liquid curve??
was it the graph where it went down and slightliy went up again and then made a flat surface and then went back down again?</p>

<p>that's right</p>

<p>Wait a sec... what kind of curve is it? I wasted time early and ended up not finishing 2, so I actually cancelled scores (I'm in AP chem, so anything sub-800 would be really bad) since I wasn't taking any others that day and I'm going to need to go back in June anyway. Anybody know for sure some numbers on the curve?</p>

<p>Um.. well as far as I know, we can make upto say about 4 mistakes and still get an 800. It's only the percentile that gets affected. I know of people who have received 800 with an 88 percentile who missed around 3 questions but must have gotten everything else right.</p>

<p>you cancelled scores because of 2 questions? i'm in ap chem also (and our teacher thought so highly of us lol -- "for you juniors who are taking the sat ii chem, it's gonna be so EASY it's illegal!") and i skipped at least 3, guessed on a couple. i dunno, i'm praying for anything 700+, haha.</p>

<p>does anybody remember the answer to the pressure-volume question? it was something like 1atm 1L + 2atm 4L or SOMETHING like that</p>

<p>I put 4 atm, I think</p>

<p>cuz you if you use Boyle's law, one of them is 1L<em>4atm=2L</em>P, P=2</p>

<p>The other one is 1atm<em>4L=2L</em>P, P=2</p>

<p>if you add up the two pressures, you get 4 atm.</p>
