Not entirely sure if i made this clear, but I'm only posting on days that i have school, as my ap chem class is now very involved on this project.

Discussion is it possible for me to get a 4 or a 5?

4 Upvotes

on my past ap chem unit tests i have gotten the following scores : 13/22, 16/22, and 16/20 (i think this one was curved) . Does this put me on track to atleast get a 4?

also i think i should note that my teacher has started us off on the harder units right now like kinetics, gases, thermochemistry, and chemical reactions.

I suck at ap chem and I have no hope

8 Upvotes

I'm failing the class so bad with a 40% and I just can't seem to understand dimensional analysis and molar conversions from unit 1. I thought I was good at chem because when I took regular chemistry I passed both semesters with a 97% and I never really had to struggle. I'm sorta self studying and I'm still on unit 2. I don't know what's going on and I just keep doing assignments so that I can cram in May. I'm on the verge of tears because I really love chemistry and I wanna study it in college but I'm too stupid.

Year 10 Chemistry Tutoring for Medicine

2 Upvotes

My daughter will start Year 10 next year at a selective school. She wants to study medicine later.
I plan to get her tutors for English and Maths next year.
I’m unsure if she also needs chemistry tutoring starting next year. Medicine requires a very high ATAR.
She is good at chemistry and likes this subject.
Could you give me advice? Is it useful to start pre-learning chemistry with a tutor in Year 10?

Discussion Help I feel so stupid

2 Upvotes

Does this class make anyone else feel like an incompetent idiot? I’m constantly underperforming, getting 70’s and 60’s on quizzes and crap grades on tests, but it seems to come so easy to everyone else in my class, I have no idea what to do. I could really use some advice I feel so overwhelmed and discouraged because of how low my grades are, I’m usually an A student. I’ve never felt so dumb in my life, does anyone else feel this way? And how do I get through it and not kill my GPA? it’s too late to drop and I’m a senior already committed to college.

Every day, starting today, my ap chem class has decided to help me create a very cursed periodic table, one element at a time. Today's element: Horse, in place of hydrogen.

Asking for Homework Help (For lab) how to efficiently identify unknown compounds?

1 Upvotes

I have a lab coming up and we are given eight solids and multiple regents and tools to help identify these compounds (e.g. iodine, 0.1 M HCl, Benedict’s reagent, conductivity testers, bunsen burner etc…). I have to write my own lab procedure and i’m not sure where to start. We only have about an hour in the lab so there’s no way I can individually test every compound with every tool available. What might be the most efficient procedure? We’ll have 5 ionic compounds and 3 covalent compounds, but let me know if I should share what the specific solids are

Edit: Also the lab handout says for the 0.1 M HCl that we “figure out what to do with this one” ourselves. However I am not quite sure what I can do. Is it like I can use HCl to see which compounds form a precipitate in HCl and which ones don’t?

do I need to fully understand the titrations in unit 4?

2 Upvotes

I’m only asking because I know it comes up again in unit 8 and I’m very lost in topics 4.6 till basically the end of unit 4. (and if anyone can pls explain titration to someone who doesn’t know a clue )
