i think its time to finally move on from that horrible mid year exam and look towards unit 4.
is this topic less theory than unit 3?
what theory parts are there in unit 4?
the reason im asking is because i want to get all the theory parts memorised and understood early, not like unit 3 where i had to learn all the biochemistry stuff/spectroscopy/spectrometry 2 weeks before the exam (i still dont get some of the stuff) which was hinderance for me to do practice exams fully
so yea any1?
-
Equilibrium - general, weak acids
Calorimetry
Redox - Galvanic cells, electrolytic cells, fuel cells

Last night, I had a quick skim over the Heinemann book and I think that Unit 4 contains less calculations.
Is my guess right?

My teacher said that Unit 4 contains alot more maths based questions. lol.

Nah, pretty sure there's way less maths =\ The entire stoic chunk of chem is gone pretty much. Thing with unit 4 is that it's waaaay more conceptual based though, so it might be wise to study ahead and try to learn some.

my teacher is a liar! lol. :-\

Unit 4 > Unit 3
But if I remember correctly, I panicked myself into memorizing the battery formulas (which came out in the exam, so hooah).
Definitely less calculations though. But practice drawing diagrams (of stuff like half cells) since they're easy marks in exams.

Would you say Unit 4 is easier than Unit 3 in general?
-
Unit 4 has way less stoich, so you can forget most of their analytical stuff in unit 3 :)

beware though. there may still be acid-base reactions.

I don't think there's that much less maths. Sure, most of stoich has gone but Unit 4 has a lot of calorimetry and equilibrium constant calculations. If there's less maths, it's because those questions have been replaced with conceptual questions such as what will happen if you change certain variables, and/or recognising graphs of how reactions proceed.

you know how unit 3 included some bio parts?
i'm informed by my chem tutor that unit 4 is more physics cos you do energy and stuff..
-
physics....................................oh no i d rather unit 3 ....
-
physics....................................oh no i d rather unit 3 ....
where did physics come out from???
lmaooooo!!!!
-
huh?
like you learn more of the physical aspect of chemistry lol right?
ask mao :)
-
physics....................................oh no i d rather unit 3 ....
definitely, physics unit 4 = lame
wanna go back to motion. :(
-
whaddaya talkinbout?
magnetizm is teh r0hxxors
-
It's not 'physics' as you know it. but yes, you do learn more about the physical processes of chemical reactions, but that is nothing like the study of physics
-
yeah thats what i meant......xD
-
where and when can we get unit 4 practice exams?
-
I'm sure Mao will post them up once exam period is close :)
