No thermodynamics on chemistry section?

[sodiumd]

I am looking at the pcat test blueprint right now and it doesn't say anything about thermodynamics or thermochemistry. Can I safely assume they won't be tested? Did you see any such related questions when you took the pcat?

Edit: not sure what was I thinking mentioning PV=nRT. Although, you definitely need to know the equations for enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy. Know what makes a reaction spontaneous and such which is given by Delta G.

I took it in July and I definitely remember a question about Pv=nRT.

"Pv=nRT" would fall more under the category of "gas laws" which is, indeed, listed on the test blueprint.

You need to know enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. You may not get a question asking for q = mcdt, but you will need to know the mechanics.

Then why are you asking if you already have the test blueprint?

To make sure whether thermodynamics is on there or not. "Pv=nRT" is not thermodynamics. I don't understand why you are confused.

You need to know thermodynamics. I remember a question regarding enthalpy on the July PCAT. I don't remember how many questions there were on thermo but it wasn't much.

Thank you.
