assumed knowledge - HELP! (1 Viewer)

what are some assumed knowledge in year 12 chemistry from year 11....

anything in particular which we should revise over the holidays??

fopr example like mole concept..

thanks for da help!

 

[tennille]

The mole concept, as you mentioned, balancing standard equations/reactions and ionic equations (if you did that in year 11). That's all I can think of at the moment.

ok thanks... any1 else have any more info..

It's handy to be familiar with the common elements of the periodic table (first 20 or so). Knowing some of the common polyatomic ions like phosphate and carbonate will also be assumed knowledge.

Familiar, to what extent?

And I can't remember the solubility rules ...

Solubility rules don't need to be remembered to succeed in chemistry, but they are certainly helpful. It'll help you to understand 'why' some substances are used and others are not, for instance in the salt bridge in electrolytic cells (KNO3 since they are soluble).

Share us your knowledge on solubility rules, it does not help me to just rely on a strip of paper to learn the solubility rules ...

Know their common name + formula including their valence number, e.g Phosphate PO₄^3-

ok thanks for the help!

Also, i was just starting production of materials and i realised it would be very useful to revise some organic chemistry from the yr11 energy module before beginning.

thanks for da heads up!
