Chemblog!

Given that we are not going to have much of a class tomorrow (unless you want to do mixture problems in the stands at the pep rally...nah, let's not), I'm definitely not going to put any kind of percent composition of a MIXTURE analysis problem on Monday's exam. There will be a couple of mixture analyses on the next test then.
In fact, to focus your study, allow me to inform you of the question TYPES on Monday's exam:
here we go...
- 2 redox balancing problems, one in acidic solution, the other in basic solution
along with identifying the oxidizing and reducing AGENTS
- gravimetric analysis (we did a couple of those today...i.e. identify element X via gravimetric analysis)
- combustion analysis in order to determine empirical formula; then, given molar mass of the compound, calculate the molecular formula
-analysis of a hydrate question (e.g. determining the formula
of CuSO4 o 5H2O )
- predict products of and name the type of reaction (e.g. acid + carbonate = salt + water + CO2, gas formation reaction)
- knowing and applying solubility rules to make specific products and also writing NET ionic equations
