You should be able to perform calculations in stoichiometry involving each of the problem types we have covered (from mole/mass relationships to empirical formula determinations). Carefully review all of the example problems and understand why various mathematical formulas are used with certain reactants and products from a balanced chemical equation. You should be able to apply the concepts from the thermochemistry unit to calorimetry, heats of reaction, Hess law, and general enthalpy problems. Be sure that you are aware of the units used in enthalpy problems vs. standard enthalpy of formation problems (heats of reaction determination) Continue to carefully review all of your gas law Chemistry and the important associated concepts. Please don t forget the concepts and definitions related to solution Chemistry as well (molarity, molality, colligative properties, ph, strong/weak acids, strong/weak bases). As you continue to review your notes, starter activities, HW problem sets, and reading notes, please try to continually make the important connections between units. Start with trying to balance a chemical equation from a sentence format, and then work with mass/mole relationships, then use the moles in the ideal gas law, then think of the properties that a given gas would have according to solutions and the kinetic theory of gases. This is the integrated approach which you need to be using to really understand and be successful with Chem., or any science material. 5
