SAT Chemistry - May 2014

<p>So yall agree that this test was very timeconsuming? Didn’t have time to check my work at all…</p>

<p>@onlythebest13‌ I completely agree with you. I don’t think the content was too difficult. There were just a lot of time consuming questions. </p>

<p>I loved this test. Wasn’t as easy as the official practice book but still easier than Kaplans and Barrons. I had 10 minutes left to spare. The balancing ones were great, I loved how there were so many because after you balance them the questions are extremely easy. </p>

<p>sick bro</p>

<p>I finished the test with 3-4 min to spare but I left like 5 blank…anyoneknow what the curve for the chem test is? is it really that harsh to thepoint that anything more than a -2 is less than 800?</p>

<p>I couldn’t figure out the question with white/blue solids, and the equilibrium graph corresponding to time (there were 3 graph problems at the beginning, one with boyle’s law, one with charle’s law, and the other…???).</p>

<p>Could somebody help me on this plox?</p>

<p>@jarjarbinks23 copper and water is the blue solid. The ammonia one was white. The equilibrium graph starts from 0 and goes up and plateaus. Boyles law is volume and pressure so exponential from the top to 0. charles is the linear x=y. the curve is quite harsh on chemistry. losing 2 raw marks is less than 800. unless they change from the norm if most did badly</p>

<p>@lazamataz For the equilibrium question (the options were different graphs), wouldn’t the answer be the graph that starts in the middle and then slopes down to a straight line? If I’m wrong can you explain why it starts at 0.</p>

<p>@TheSubject0835‌ The question was asking about the products at equilibrium. There are initially no products so it starts at 0.</p>

<p>For the metal one I also got TF, and I missed the buret one too XD But seriously. I took a practice Barron’s test and finished on time, and today’s test I was rushing, I’m crossing my fingers that some of my guesses were accurate.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the question of increasing the SO2? I put adding O2, but it said something about displacement… :(</p>

<p>@luckystar888 , it’s definitely adding O2. Straight up Le Chatelier’s principle.</p>

<p>yay! That makes me a little happier. anyone want to start a google doc of the discussion?</p>

<p>And I think the curve is you can miss 10. (raw score - .25(# wrong)) 85-75 = 800</p>

<p>@luckystar888‌ </p>

<p>I think its less than that because if you have to deduct the number of questions you got wrong from the number of questions you got right. </p>

<p>@luckystar888 I’ve heard that the curve is usually only 3-4…not sure how accurate that is though. </p>

<p>Was this test considered a harder one?</p>

<p>What was the answer for the question that was asking which element was radioactive?</p>

<p>I put Rt or whatever it was near the bottom of the periodic table.</p>

<p>Which graph did you guys choose when the statement said that the pressure and temperature were held constant, what would be the variation of volume. I chose the straight line, I just want to make sure.</p>

<p>That question was actually asking about volume vs pressure with only temperature staying constant. I remember thinking that both pressure and temperature were constant at first, but I reread it and found out what it was actually asking. Sorry, man.</p>

<p>What were the answer choices for the question that was asking which element was radioactive? </p>

<p>I know some of them were Ar and Ne. What were the others?</p>
