Mnemonics for GenChem

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
OIL- oxidation is loss of electrons
RIG-reduction is gain of electrons

those are all i know for gen chem...
 
wonder where u got that from- anything else?

Lol everyone knows it its famous I think its in kaplan book
Also the other one is LEO the lion says GERRRR

Loss of
Electrons
Oxidation

Gian of
Electrons
Reduction
 
MM of a gas is what a dog does outdoors. "Dirt over pee," or
MM=dRT/P (d=density, R=ideal gas constant, T=temp, P=pressure)
 
Also every one prob knows this one or just memorized it but if you dont know this equation just give up now and save your time lol
Dont know how to draw triangles on here so
G=H-T delta S
Goose Hunters Take Shotguns
or Good Honey Tastes Sweet

I saw this one a while back its not great but what the heck

I had this professor for biology whose name was Professor GANS and this lady was a really big PANE. It was weird that HER daughters name was LEO

GANS- Galvanic Anode Negative Spontaneous
PANE- Positive Anode Nonspontaneous Electrolytic
HER- High E* Reduced
LEO- Low E* Oxidized....

I think this ones better For knowing which one is positive in an electrochemical cell think:

Ape and Cabbage (CPG)

Anode
Positive
Electrolytic

Cathode
Positive
Galvanic
 
Last one
VG PHEST (Very Good Festival)
The following are all state functions:
V for volume
G for Gibb's free energy
P for pressure
H for enthalpy
E for internal energy
S for entropyT for temperature
 
in an electrolytic cell the reaction is nonspontaneous so the anode is positive and the cathode is negative requiring an outside power source such as a battery to drive the reaction.

in a galvanic cell the reaction is spontaneous so the anode is negative and the cathode is positive so the electrons from the anode to the cathode w/o an outside power source.

Get Higher Test Scores.........I always remember it that way.
