SAT 2 Chem Discussion May 2 2009

<p>It was volume vs. temperature. It was choice D, if I remember correctly. It was linear and it had a positive slope.</p>

<p>k, thanks.</p>

<p>Well, I put 3.0, but I’m not sure if it was going up to 320 K or going down from 320 K.</p>

<p>Rockermcr, did you put 1.00 for the sig figs problem? I only saw 1.0 g/ml.</p>

<p>I put 1.00. I wrote out the actual calculation and the answer was 1.001 or something like that.</p>

<p>nothing on that problem with .5 moles of one gas and .5 moles of another gas and what ratio of their partial pressures were? i really wasn’t sure about that one and i guessed that since they had the sam amount of moles it would be .5/.5 = 1…and it wasn’t the last question but towards the end of the 50s i think</p>

<p>Yeah, I put 1 for that.</p>

<p>Yea i put 1.00 for sig figs one
And also 3.00 for the other question that required the pv/t formula</p>

<p>Also which question is the one someone said they got .48 does anyone remember that question?</p>

<p>yea really…what is this .48 atm question?</p>

<p>crap… i totally forgot about sig figs :frowning: i put 1.001
■■■.</p>

<p>i probably got at least 5 wrong…
im definitely retaking this in june.</p>

<p>I don’t remember putting 0.48 for anything.</p>

<p>I’m going to wait to get my score before I decide what to do. I’m taking math II in October, so I’ll add chemistry the day of the test if I feel like it.</p>

<p>I don’t remember 0.48 either…</p>

<p>seriously Im getting hella paranoid cuz at at -5 anything pushes me over :frowning: Neone know about the .48 one ???</p>

<p>Getting an 800 is great, but it isn’t necessary. Don’t worry so much. Admissions counsellors won’t differentiate between anything over a 750 and an 800.</p>

<p>i kind of remember .48
what problem is it again?</p>

<p>ok i’m confused.
the barrons book says that 800 is 75-85, while the CB book says 82-85?
which one is right :
i mean CB is more likely to be right, right?
so why would barrons lie ;_;</p>

<p>pressure of atmosphere has to be equalized with the gas in the tube - you can do that by using the water level</p>

<p>barrons just does that because they know their tests are much harder than the real thing. They give a more generous curve in their book because it is specific to their tests. However i felt this test was way harder than barron. Hopefully a 75 curve too haha</p>

<p>lol if this test has a 75/85 curve for an 800…</p>

<p>I’ll be shocked</p>

<p>it’s good to hear i’m not the only one who’s pessimistic about this :-/</p>

<p>and do you guys remember the stoichiometry question whose answers included .125, .250, .500? i put .25, but i might have screwed up there…</p>

<p>oh… i see. blah they misled me :expressionless:
anyway how many does everyone think they got wrong?
i know -5 for sure… maybe even more :
hopefully theres a nice curve ><</p>

<p>I have -8 for sure, and probably a few more mistakes.</p>

<p>Which stoichiometry problem was it? There were quite a few.</p>

<p>And while I would love the curve to deviate substantially, I can’t help but feel that it’ll probably remain around the same.</p>
