Assignment

The molecule-building project instructions are attached.  Pay attention to the requirements if you want to get full credit!  I will have a sign-up sheet for teams/individuals and their molecule choices on Monday; NO duplicate molecules!  IF someone has already signed up for the one you want, have a backup plan.

FINAL EXAM:  MONDAY APRIL 29th FROM 4:00 PM TO 9:00 PM!  
This is MANDATORY.  You MUST be here!  Only acceptable excuses are
(1) if your sport has a CIF Playoff game, and you are actually playing in it, or
(2) You are deathly ill and this must be confirmed by a DOCTOR's note!  If you're not sick enough to go to the doctor you're not sick enough to miss your final. 
 
I will NOT excuse you for practices, rehearsals, etc.  Your coach or teacher can call me if there's a problem.

Assignment

 
The links below each go to actual sets of released AP Free Response questions from the years 2010 and 2017, respectively.  Your spring break assignment is to do the entire set of problems for each year on your own paper.  Follow the instructions below:
  • Use a separate sheet for each numbered problem (#1 on its own page, #2 on its own page, etc); label the sheet with year and problem number. 
  • Work out each problem to the best of your ability, abiding by the time limits stated for the problem.  DO NOT USE ANY RESOURCES other than the AP equation sheet and P-table, your calculator (graphing is OK), and your brain. NO PHONE. NO GOOGLE. 
  • Show your work clearly, include units in your work and answers, box your final answers to calculations, and round final answers to correct Sig Figs.
  • Once you have completed the ENTIRE SET of problems for that year, go to the rubric link for that year and GRADE YOUR WORK, using a different color pen, and ASSIGN POINTS for your work based on the rubric. Don't give yourself points you didn't earn.  
  • Write your TOTAL SCORE for all problems for each year at the top of your first page of work. You will not be graded on this score, but instead on how thoroughly you corrected your own work. 
  • Staple all the corrected problems for each year into a packet, in order by problem number, for that year.  You will turn in TWO packets, one for each year.  
2010 Free Response Problems (NOTE:  Under rules in place in 2010, you can use your calculator on problems 1-3 ONLY.  You cannot use it on problems 4-7!)

2010 HINTS: #1: Structural formulas for butane and isobutane are attached below since the new exam no longer requires you to know them.
#4a: A hydrated salt is heated to drive off the water of hydration; 4b: the ammonia is the ligand and there will be 6 ligands attached to the central metal cation; 4c: Methylamine is a weak base.
