This is just my AP Chem imagine my AP History and Pre Cal
Hey dude, two remarks.

First, there's a homework help guild.

Second, the answers to a lot of these are so damned obvious (like the first one) that it's more a test of "Are you in fact a living person, as opposed to some sort of brainless undead creature, or maybe a squirrel?"

If you were honestly having trouble despite your best efforts, you know, that would be all right, I'd be glad to try to help. But you're not even bothering to try.

Shaviv I'm a sophomore in the 10th Grade I don't know what grade your in okay. So can you provide help?

And I'm a grad student, only I'm sick, so I have time on my hands and a more crotchety and abrasive attitude than usual.

Help? Sure, a little, but it's technique help. Not packaged answers.

As I recall, when you take this test, you're given a periodic table. Learn what groups mean in terms of common oxidation states. Learn how to navigate it - what the groups mean and what the periods mean in terms of the arrangements on the table. (PS: groups are columns, periods are rows.)

Learn the names, structures, charges and basic properties of common ions, such as sulfate, sulfide, carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate, oxide, fluoride, hydride, etc. Don't neglect metal-bearing ones like chromate, cuprate or permanganate. And when I say "learn" I mean "memorize". Use flash-cards, have family-members help you out by asking you at random times. Make sure they know the answers, of course...

Be comfortable with converting units. One liter is 1000 mL = 1000 cm^3, which will help you.

Be comfortable with calculating volumes.

Be comfortable with doing algebra. E.g., if you are told that there are two isotopes of an element whose atomic mass is 50 amu, and 60% of that element has an atomic mass of 42 amu, what is the atomic mass of the other isotope? How to figure it out: 50 = 0.6 * 42 + 0.4 * X, solve for X. I think you're allowed to use a calculator, if that makes things faster. (PS: I may have pulled a dumb here. If you think so, point it out.)

Don't panic. Often, questions give you a few key words that are intended to prompt your common sense to start rolling. Well, let your common sense roll. Look at the question about liquids, right? Do liquids have a fixed shape? You tell me. Or the one about concrete. You know how you make concrete? You mix it. And think about how a glob of concrete feels in your hand. Does it feel homogenous? Is it the same texture throughout?

Etc.

I got a 4 in chemistry. I made a few stupid mistakes, like forgetting what color permanganate is (deep purple).

... He did have a point though. Some of these questions are so inane that you clearly didn't bother trying before posting. No AP chem student has an excuse to need help figuring out what properties liquids have.

Captain Fordo

____ 1. Which of the following properties are consistent with liquids?
1. The volume of a liquid is determined by the size of its container.
2. A liquid has a rigid shape and fixed volume.
3. A liquid has a fixed volume that varies little with temperature or pressure changes.
a. 1 only b. 2 only c. 3 only d. 1, 2, and 3


I mean honestly? REALLY? You REALLY need to post this here?

Quote:
____ 2. Concrete is composed of sand, gravel, and calcium oxide. Concrete is best described as
a. a heterogeneous mixture. b. a homogenous mixture. c. a pure substance. d. a chemical compound.


And it was that hard to look up the different terminology there if you don't understand it? This is something you desperately need help with? REALLY? I stand with Shaviv on this, it's not that you needed help despite your best efforts, asking questions like this shows you didn't even bother trying, you simply said "hey, I've got homework, lets post them all!"

The questions you legitimately have trouble with you can ask, but when you ask, show that you've put a little bit of thought into it. Say WHY you are confused. What you think you should do. Show that you have put thought into the problem before we do it for you.

Don't say "here are the questions, help", say "here is the question, I thought X would do it but I'm not sure because of Y, so can anyone help me understand how to do it?"
Hey, I'm a sophomore, too. Honestly, I'm glad you posted this cause I want to try to take AP Chem as a senior, so I'm going to steal some of these problems to work on... and I'll see if there are any I know. I'm just in Honors Chem atm.
Chemistry rules!
36. d. 2
37. b. -2
39. MgO
40. c. AlCl3
41. b. CaF2
42. d. Pb(SO4)2
43. c. magnesium hydroxide
44. c. potassium bicarbonate
45. d. ammonium dichromate

46. c. copper (II) sulfide
47. c. phosphorus pentachloride
48. c. SiO2

49. D. ammonium (I believe that%u2019s it)


alright. I'm too lazy now. xD Hope that helps
