gen chem

It’s my last day to register for classes. I had an abysmal freshman year as a finance major at Emory university ending with a 3.4 GPA(3.1 first semester and 3.66 second semester). I realized that I don’t like finance and I want to do something rewarding. However I wonder if it’s too late for...

One of the questions asks how to titrate sebacic acid and the answer is to dissolve it in a base and then use acid to titrate. I'm just wondering...why do we dissolve in a base if it's an acid? For all titration questions, do we always dissolve in the opposite solution e.g. if we wanted to...

For anyone who has taken UNE Gen Chem II course any advice would be great. This is a re-take course for me and I was wondering if it were possible to finish it in 6-7 weeks? No other online courses in conjunction and working part-time. What was the level of difficulty and how much time did you...

Hello, all! I am new to SDN, but I have been reading threads for the last few months, and everyone has such great insights! I'm currently studying for the DAT, and I am taking it on August 24th. I have been studying most of the summer for it, every day, for at least 2-3 hours. The only...

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...

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.

I've heard mixed opinions about CC for taking science pre reqs, and I'm in a situation where I need to take Gen Chem 2 this upcoming summer so I can do Orgo at my University in the Fall. I was wondering if it's fine if I take it at my local CC (which is top 5 in my state I'm pretty sure) or...

Hey. I am a first year at a top university in the U.S. I intend to declare a Biology major, however, I am not sure yet. My question is, do you think I should take (our) Gen Chem and Physics 1 in my sophomore year, or Gen Chem and a higher level Bio that is recommended for the MCAT, and...

Hi guys, I Feel like I have a solid background on all subjects the MCAT covers besides gen chem. I got C's in gen chem 1 and 2 (wasnt really motivated my freshman year). All other pre-reqs I got A's. I will dedicate about 3 months of self study to MCAT. How long would it take for me to get a...

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...

Hi! I'm struggling with the general chemistry section of the DAT. I was originally going to take my DAT on July 31st but I wasn't scoring consistently (fluctuating from 16-20) on the different tests I have taken, so I pushed my exam back. I use mostly Kaplan and just started DAT Bootcamp, and...

Hi everyone, I just had a simple question on how to study. I tried following Ari's study guide but i don't really like the style and I feel like i studying multiple 4 things everyday is kind of hard. In conclusion, I was wondering if anybody had studied by doing a whole week of reading Cliffs...

I'm a little confused on why osmotic pressure is the answer for this one. Any thoughts? 24. Which colligative property will produce the largest change when a given solute is added? A. Boiling Pt. B. Freezing Pt. C. Osmotic Pressure D. Vapor Pressure E. All of the above

Quick question about a pre-requisite. My university I am graduating from offers Gen Chem 1 and 2 with lab however for engineering majors (me) they have us take a combined Gen Chem with a lab. This resulted in me only having 4 semesters hours of gen chem with lab. My school doesn't offer any...

Finished the gen chem portion of Chad's videos about a month ago. After a small break due to final exams/life I am back and on pace to finish Chad's ochem vids either tomorrow or early Saturday. Upon completion do you guys think I would be okay jumping right into the destroyer? I know it could...

Hey guys! When I first started undergrad, I was pre-pharm and so I took the CLEP exam for gen chem. I used my credit to skip gen chem 1, but I still took gen chem 2 and the lab for 1 and 2. I finished organic chemistry with labs last semester, and I have made As in all of these courses. I...

I'm taking O chem 1 this Fall, just finished Genchem 2. are there any brave souls out there who seem to find more ease in O chem than they did in Gen chem?

I really do not want to double up on sciences during undergrad because I feel like that'll hurt my GPA. So I was wondering if I could take Gen Chem my freshman year, OChem sophomore year, Gen Bio my junior, and Physics my senior year? I know that you need physics for the MCAT, but I feel like I...

I'm a high school senior and I'm so confused on how college classes work. Couple of questions: 1. Are general chemistry, biology, organic chem all one semester courses or are they a full year course? 2. What's the difference between a quarter and a semester system? Which one is better? 3. If...

What is the relationship between Keq and Ka? I don't understand why A is the answer to this question. Thanks in advance!

So I know that the averages are pretty low for the ACS finals (averages of about 50%), but I thought I could at least get a C+/B without any sort of curve. I just took the ACS Gen Chem I final today and definitely failed because I couldn't finish it on time. I did manage to bubble in D's for...

Guys i have a question about calculating ph problem.. I've been doing this one weird method for every one of those problems and it works.. i want to run it by u guys and see if this is even a thing or I'm just getting lucky lmao so the question states: What is the pH of 1.0 x 10^-4 M Ca(OH)2...

The god of science recently told me that and increase in temperature would increase the Kw of water and that hot H(2)O is slightly acidic. I understand the temperature is one of the few things that can affect a rate constant and that increasing it would increase the amount that water splits up...

Hiiii all, I am really struggling with this destroyer gen chem problem, number 132. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it! 132. The Ksp of Fe(Oh)2 at 25 C is 1.6 x 10 ^-14, What is the solubility of the Fe(OH)2 in 0.025 M of FeCl2? *** I looked at the solution in the back, using...

I graduate with my first bachelors may 2017, i have just 2 classes left at this point. I majored in Public Health and my cum GPA would be 2.5 when i grad as a result of personal difficulties i went through in the earlier part of my college life. I am much more stable now but want to venture on...

@ 16:40 of Nuclear Chemistry Video Fastmode in Chad's Videos he wrote the attached picture on the board. Shouldn't the # of protons be 91, not 93? http://imgur[DOT]com/gallery/CJ8arfD It appears that my image isn't working. Anyways, what he wrote on the board was that 238, 92 U ----> 2 alpha...

Hi all, I'm pretty new here and this is my first post. Anyway, I need some advice, and it's a bit complicated but all advice is appreciated. I'm a freshman pre-med at a T-20 University (I would share the name, but I see people avoid doing that) and I've been struggling a bit. I got a B in my...
