A.P. Chemistry Summer Assignment for 2014015 Instructor: Mary Engels Please review the Rules for Solubility, Oxidation Numbers, Significant Figures and Ions. Also review how to write and name binary ionic and binary covalent compounds. Complete the enclosed assignment. It reviews nomenclature/formula writing, writing and balancing equations, and stoichiometry. If you have any questions I may be contacted at the following email address: Mary.Engels@fcps.edu Please be patient for a response as I will not be checking my email on a daily basis. Please purchase an AP Chemistry Review book (your choice of author/publisher) for next year.
Please review the following rules below: Solubility Rules for Salts in Water 1. Most nitrate (NO 3 1 ) salts are soluble. 2. Most salts containing the alkali metals ions (Li +, Na +, K +, Cs +, Rb +, and the ammonium ion (NH 4 + ) are soluble. 3. Most chloride, bromide, and iodide salts are soluble. Notable exceptions are salts containing the Ag +, Pb +2, and Hg 2 +2. 4. Most sulfates are soluble. Notable exceptions are BaSO 4, PbSO 4, Hg 2 SO 4, and CaSO 4. 5. Most hydroxide salts are only slightly soluble. The important soluble hydroxides are NaOH and KOH. The compounds Ba(OH) 2, Sr(OH) 2, and Ca(OH) 2 are marginally soluble. 6. Most sulfides (S ), carbonates (CO 3 ) and phosphates (PO 4 3 ) salts are only slightly soluble. Rules for Assigning Oxidation States 1. An atom in a free element is zero, 0. 2. A monatomic ion is the same as its charge. 3. Fluorine is 1 in its compounds. 4. Oxygen is usually in compounds, except in peroxides in which case it is 1. 5. Hydrogen is +1 in a compound, except in metal hydrides in which case it is 1. 6. In a compound, the sum of all the oxidation numbers must total 0. Rules for Significant Figures 1. In multiplication/division, your answer must have the same number of significant figures as the value with the least number of significant figures. 2. In addition/subtraction, your answer must have the same number of decimal places as the value with the least number of decimal places. 3. Exact numbers, which may be due to counting or equalities such as 1 mol = 6.02 X 10 23 atoms, never limit the number of significant figures in a calculation. 4. All nonzero digits are always significant. 5. Zero s: a. Leading zeros are never significant. b. Sandwiched zeros, zeros between nonzero numbers are always significant. c. Trailing zeros, are significant if there is a decimal and are not significant if there is no decimal.
