Official SAT Subject Test - Chemistry - June 2015

@hsalem32 you go to the collegeboard website and click scores and that’s when you view them. They only allow the score to be viewed not like what you got wrong etc.

Does anyone remember for sure what the two ttce questions were?

@6nreddy I put S because sulfur naturally occurs in S8 molecules.

I got 3 ttce but i wasn’t sure about one of them.

Was the iron mesh one for sure ttce?

@ssapbio yes, i’m nearly positive.

@ssapbio the other one was the color/solvent one, I believe.

Na isn’t found in nature on its own at all, so that’s the answer to the question. It was an ambiguous question, but the first one that jumps out is Na because it is very very reactive.

@Arpeggio206 for the one that you put condensation on, I put sublimation because it said its going from C (solid) to CO2 (gas)… I might be wrong though. and I got reduction for the last one. other than that I got the same as you but im not so confident about those questions; kinda just went with my first instinct throughout the whole test…

@Marshmallow99 I put sublimation cause its going from solid C (it gave state symbols in the problem) to gaseous CO2

hey what did yall get for that balancing question with the H2S?

Was one of the answers HF
Also there was a question that said to balance this equation: (Al) + Na or something. and you had to balance charges too.

tetrahedral anyone?

I got C3H8…

definitely isn’t right though

exothermic reactions FORM bonds so it was 2O -> O2 or whatever that answer was

what was the percent yield question?

For the double-bond one, it was C4H6. For the percent yield one, it was 94%. @marie122 since they only give a half reaction, I stand by my decision that it was oxidation. They only mention the C and the CO2, not the O2.

@topaz1116 no it was definitely reduction I checked and double checked… or it could have been oxidation but I know that whatever I put for that question was correct cause I wasted a lot of time at the beginning of the test just double checking the first 20 or so questions…

no I just wanted to know what the percent yield question was, not the answer cause if anyone remembers the question, it would be much easier to debate. personally I put 78% percent or 72% I don’t remember because I know that there was a little more of a difference between the numerator and the denominator than 94%.
