subparblog: No more chemistry, we need to celebrate

subparblog: YAY I LOVE YOU H(TOO)O. ok so NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY. Half lives and shit. Basically all reference table stuff (N & O). So you make a chart and it's pretty easy to figure out. And just remember that the most energy is released when it's nuclear energy. Transmutation reactions have mass and charge with the element. Artificial vs natural transmutation: X+Y=> L+W (you add something in the beginning of the reaction to allow it to occur so it's artificial) A=>B+C (natural because it decayed by itself).

subparblog: One more thing about organic chem: OTHER ORGANIC REACTIONS aka substitution, ersterification, fermentation, and addition. They'll never ask you to actually write one out, but you might need to identify it. Addition is basically synthesis but with alkynes and alkenes. Substitution is basically a double replacement (organic chem edition). And fermentation- look for glucose and alcohol and sometimes yeast (or some type of enzyme). Esterification: acid+alcohol=>ester+water

subparblog: ACIDS AND BASES. This is a pretty lengthy topic but just remember H+ is acid (something they'll say "arrhenius acid to try to mess you up but it means the same thing). OH- is a base. Also whenever the regents talks about acids or bases, they'll probably be on rt K and L. Acid-base indicators- if it's within the range, it will be the color that the two colors listed would make together (???) Titration (rt T): remember to check the # of H+ or OH- for the titration in the acids/bases.

Anonymous: For oxidation-reduction, you can also use LEO-GER (loses electrons oxidized- gains electrons reduced) or OIL-RIG (oxidized is loss- reduced is gain) to help you remember which one is which.
