<p>for the C2O3 question… does anyone remember if one of the choices was C3O2? cuz that’s what i thought i put but i might be confusing it with the C2O3</p>

<p>other choices were:
never pour water into sulfuric acid (I)
Always put excess chemicals back into their containers (II)
Always wear your safety goggles (III)</p>

<p>so I&III only right?</p>

<p>What was the Neon TTCE question anyway?</p>

<p>And can someone confirm that the 334 Joules question was 6000 Joules?</p>

<p>It was 334 joules/g x 18.02 g/ 1 mol H2O = approx 6,000 joules…</p>

<p>Idk about the neon.
(I) I think it was neon emits a linen spectra when electric current is passed through it (? might not have been electric current) (T- i said)
(II) because the electrons release rays of light as the go from a higher energy state to their ground state (T - also and CE)</p>

<p>It said that when electricity is fed through a tube filled with neon at low pressure, light is produced. The latter part said that excited electrons in a neon atom release photons of colored light when jumping down to a lower energy level. So, TTCE.</p>

<p>I know I put 6000 joules.</p>

<p>Starport, where’s that book?</p>

<p>Calm down Skyway. I got your book back already. </p>

<p>Anyway, can someone explain why the polymerization was E (the one with “n”) and not C (the one with the hydrocarbons). Because I checked online and the one with hydrocarbons represents a Condensation Polymerization reaction.</p>

<p>I put E, but do you remember what the condensation one was exactly?</p>

<p>because the one they showed us (C) was an alcohol reacting with a carboxyl group to form as ester.</p>

<p>that’s a possible way that polymerization could occur but polymerization is the joining together of many identical monomers n-CH2 or something to form (–>) a large polymer n(CH2). The one with the carboxyl group/alcohol didn’t include many monomers joining to form a polymer. So E</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question involving the exothermic equilibrium reaction (heat was one of the products) where it asked you to choose an action that would increase the amount of a specific product (i think it was either SO3 or SO2)?</p>

<p>lets go over how many CEs you guys got…thats a good indicator of how you did in that section i know i got 8</p>

<p>I think I put something along the lines of “increase concentration of O2”.</p>

<p>yeah i wasnt thinking i chose an increase in temperature which would actually decrease the amount of products because the reaction was exothermic</p>

<p>yeah i said increase concentration O2. I think I got 7 CEs, maybe 8,</p>

<p>im pretty sure there was a multiple choice question asking for lowest ionization energy and i think the answer was potassium</p>

<p>what were other options? i forget that one lol. if there were anyothers lower down in the first family it was that one, but if not k is right</p>

<p>Do you remember which CE’s you got? (8 seems like a lot) A lot of people I talked to only had 4-5</p>

<p>Did you have any TT without CE?</p>

<p>I think K was the lowest one given in family IA.</p>

<p>I had a lot of CE’s… like 4 in a row in the second column. Can’t remember about TT’s… might have had 1 :/</p>

<p>yeahh i had 4 in a row on second column too! Im not sure if it was 8, but I am pretty sure I had 2-4 more than that, atleast 2 iin the first column…</p>

<p>Do you remember which ones they were? LOL.</p>

<p>^ Yay that makes me feel good! :]</p>
