Study Guides
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Learn dimensional analysis and significant figures now to make the rest of the semester much easier. More links. If you're all done copying your notes, and have finished the homework and read the book, here are some extra practice problems for Chapter 2. These will not be graded. If you're still lost in Chapter 2, you are not alone. Here are some questions that my students have asked in the past, and my answers to each question. Here are some unit conversion factors that might be used in my class.
Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5
Chapter 6 Remember the patterns for nomenclature. For oxyanions and oxyacids, learn the -ate and -ic ions, then use the pattern to get the others. Check these links for some help on naming compounds: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, Link 4 Chapter 7
