The Official AP Chemistry Discussion Thread

<p>The AP Chem Exam is soooooo fun. Did 6 practice tests and got 85-95%. So ready to take it on tomorrow. :slight_smile: I’m glad I have a chem teacher with a 98% pass rate for the past 10 years. :D</p>

<p>^ Nice, this is my AP Chemistry teacher’s first year teaching AP Chemistry. Basically, I’m self-studying and hoping for a 5 on the AP test tomorrow. =/</p>

<p>where are the answers to the 1999 test?</p>

<p>do we multiply chem mc raw score by anthing?</p>

<p>My teacher gave them to us in a text file, so I reorganized it a little.</p>

<p>wow goodluck dragon</p>

<p>our schools teacher got preggers halfway through and left.
i had her last year and got a 4
but these years kids are screwed…</p>

<p>How important are quantum numbers and isomers? I haven’t seen very much of them.</p>

<p>not terribly important, but they do show up enough (especially in the MC) that if you have time, you should definitely look them over.</p>

<p>Do you guys think there will be any questions on electroplating?</p>

<p>hey my teacher just went over that today. I doubt it. But know that in electroplating, E standard is 0.</p>

<p>Can someone enlighten me on how electroplating is in AP Chem?</p>

<p>anyone have any review guides/quick links that have some good general stuff we an revise. Like a quick reference of some of the more important concepts. Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s when the anode and cathode reactions are the exact opposite of each other. for example, Cu2+ + 2e- =>Cu and Cu => Cu2+ + 2e-. Mostly used to plate something, like a golden shoe.</p>

<p>Here: <a href=“http://www.phs.princeton.k12.oh.us/departments/science/ldusch/appdfs/awesome%20review%20sheet.pdf[/url]”>http://www.phs.princeton.k12.oh.us/departments/science/ldusch/appdfs/awesome%20review%20sheet.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>^That’s from Dr. Kumar, right? </p>

<p>for electroplating, but then your balanced reaction doesn’t exist…</p>

<p>It may appear that, but the ions in the solution will move on to the metal as the electric current still runs with a power source. So only electrolysis.</p>

<p>From PR</p>

<p>Use I = q/t to get q</p>

<p>q/96,500 = mol e-</p>

<p>Use the half reaction to get mol whatever you’re electroplating</p>

<p>Use molar mass to get grams</p>

<p>Ah cool, so it’s just another way of saying that the ions are moving to the cathode.</p>

<p>Can someone list all of the IMF bonds in order of strength? And I mean stuff like, ionic, metallic, network covalent (NOT JUST COVALENT), Dipole-dipole, London Dispersion Forces, and Hydrogen Bonds.</p>

<p>Also, for a Lewis structure, how do you determine if it is polar or nonpolar?</p>

<p>I think this is how it goes
Metallic Network Covalent
H bonding
Covalent
Ionic</p>

<p>oh and London forces at the bottom</p>
