I am starting Chem II this semester. Anyone want to start a club??? :rolleyes:

Good luck!

I need luck too I have an exam tonight. I didn't do so well on the quiz either hopefully this help to point me in the right direction.

Our 1st exam is next Tuesday. He told us today that we're allowed to use a "cheat sheet". It has to be a 3x5 index card, but we can use the front & back. I'm going to be writing very tiny and abbreviating! So far we've learned about density/mass/volume, 12 of the elements, scientific notation, significant figures, chemical/physical properties and metric conversions. Ugh :(

I'm surviving O-Chem. Though what really helps is partial credit and a bonus question. I can get little things wrong but still get 103% on the last quiz.

Though as someone pointed out this morning, we really need to know what we're supposed to know for the quizes and exams. This is so we can find new places in our memory to cram all this in. I joked that I suppose I can forget all I learned in microbiology, but need to hold on to A&P for the pharmacology class I'm taking now.:chuckle I guess it's pathetic that we're finding this so funny and it's only the 4th week in.

Good luck to everyone on their exams and quizes. It's still early in the semester/quarter so I'm sure you can still find room in your brains to cram in the Chemistry.

well thanks kat & december for those websites... they have really helped me out. It just reading this book.. its so long and dense and doesnt explain things well.. just to see it short, quick and to the point on the website is very helpful.

Had the first exam last night. Think it went pretty crappy- but who knows.. we should get grades back by tomorrow. I still disagree with lady that chem is easy.. maybe for you- but it definetely is challenging for a lot of us. The person who had the CSI lab.. thats awesome, i wish our school did interesting things like that. Right now our lab is some boring crap on acids and bases, I think the most exciting one we do is something about Beano. lol I really hate the lab ( I could probably deal with the class itself, but lab is a whole different story) - our labs are completely separate from the class so none of the ideas match up. Then of course the labs make no sense and the TAs are not very helpful.

hmm.. Chem sucks.. maybe thats not the right attitude but what can I say, it does suck.

Well good luck to all that have exams coming up soon!

Jayde, where in North Carolina are you located? I'm also taking Chem 131 and 131a with Craven Community College.

My teacher from last quarter taught us a trick for the Density mass volume equation to remember as DMV - Department of Motor vehicles you can also remember if you put the letters D M V in a triangle with D in the lower left corner, M in the upper angle and V in the lower right corner and remember D=M/V, M=(D)(V), and V=M/D this is hard to see with out being able to draw it out in the triangle.

Okay Chem Club. I'm Having trouble with THE MOLE (i hate it). Question:

How many moles of Li (ions) are there in 144 moles of Li3P?

Hi all!

Chemistry not going so good here:( Could anyone recommend any good study sites for Chemistry? I have web access with my book, but I need all the help and practice I can get. I made some stupid mistakes on my last test. Do not really understand electron configurations, now on top of that

have hybridization, which apparently is not even in our book:uhoh3: If anyone knows anything about either of these subjects, or any good Chemistry sites, I would be very grateful!!

I know this is really stupid but go to Chem4kids.com. It's a really basic site and it helped me out a lot. Just keep reading and rereading and eventually it will click.

Good luck.

Hi Everyone, hope your semester is off to a great start. I'm fortunate enough to have two professors who seem approachable if I need help.

I have a question I forgot to ask before leaving class last night....does anyone know how to do subscripts using microsoft word? I'm trying to type my lab report and I can't remember how to do this.

Thanks so much!!!
