- Description
-
AP/IB-SL Chemistry is a second-year, college-level chemistry course designed to prepare students to pass the AP Chemistry and the IB-SL Chemistry exams administered in May. Students are required to attend additional class time throughout the year -- first period meets at 7:15 AM each day except 2-4-6 block days, and sixth period students meet for "night lab" on Mondays from 4 PM to 6:15PM. There is no night lab during the first week or last week of school. Judging from the extraordinary quality of the Honors Chemistry students from last year, this year's AP Chemistry classes should be absolutely phenomenal! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all and having a great time exploring the amazing world of Chemistry. Test dates: AP Chemistry exam: Monday May 6th, 2013, in the morning IB-SL Chemistry Exam: Thursday May 16th, in the afternoon (Papers 1 & 2); Friday May 17th in the morning (Paper 3)

Reaction Prediction Practice!
For each of the reactions, write the balanced net ionic equation.
It helps if you can identify what type of reaction you're looking at before you start trying to write products. The hints I've given below tell you what type of reaction you have.
Do all the reactions for 1997, found here (copy/paste link)
:

Answers can be found here; however, they may not be balanced. Back in 1997, you didn't have to balance the net ionic equation. Now, though, you do.

(There is an error in answer for (e); product should be water, not H30)

1997 reaction hints:
1. Two ionic compounds in aqueous solution = Double replacement with solid precipitate
2. "Acidified" is a key word for Redox (this one does NOT involve Na or K)
3. Nonmetal oxides are acidic anhydrides. Acidic anhydrides react with water resulting in the synthesis of a weak acid
4. Lewis Base (e- pair donor) reacts with Lewis Acid (e- pair acceptor), and a coordinate covalent bond forms
5. Element + compound ("love triangle") = Single replacement
6. KNH2 is potassium amide; it reacts with water to produce ammonia and hydroxide ions
7. synthesis
8. Two ionic compounds in aqueous solution = Double replacement with solid precipitate

More Ions! I know how much you love them. The list of ions posted previously were the ions you had to learn in Honors Chemistry. The list in the link below is more extensive, and includes all the old ions plus several new ones that AP will expect you to know. It also includes alternate names for some ions that IB will expect you to know (if you're IB).
