    confused about this one: If an acid is weak, thus giving off less particles, wouldn’t that make less of a difference on the boiling/freezing point? Because the vant Hoff factor would be a smaller number... Explanation says: “HClO would be the weakest acid thus giving the fewest particles...

    Is Gen Chem 1 or Gen Chem 2 more heavily weighted on the DAT?

    Does the DAT emphasize more content from Gen Chem 1 or 2? And what do they generally provide for that section? Do they provide all the formulas or do you have to remember them? Solubility rules? Polyatomic ions etc.? Thanks.

    Pre med grades

    after my first semester I got a d in gen chem. Its not because I didn't understand the materials, it was because I forgot my calculator for the first midterm and had half of the time to take it, and had incompatibilities with my roommate so it was difficult to focus/study in general. I am...
