Worst / Hardest / Most Annoying Parts of Unit3 Chem?

[luken93]

So I'm just finishing up Spectroscopy, and I'm really not liking Spectro/Chrom
I much prefer the math type questions of Volumetric/Gravametric, but it seems that U3 is a lot more concept based that 1/2 Chem (Apart from the fact that 1/2 is a new introduction to a lot of things)

How did everyone else feel about it, and what were your most and least favorite parts of Unit 3?

Learning about the spectro/chromo and all them machines was a pain
They all semmed the same to me!

I thought NMR was the most annoying

Bloody back titration does my head in! It took me 16 days to complete Unit 3 and I'm not satisfied

16 days is awesome LOL

[Greatness]

It seems as though spectroscopy is the most challenging topic alongwith back titrations...
How long would it usually take someone to finish the course?

Oh goody, I'm tackling this tomorrow. Wish me luck guys haha

lol, it will take more than tomorrow

[Greatness]

Dayum!!! is NMR really that difficult??

uh oh hahaha
Oh well, better to get it done now that later

NMR isnt toooo bad, it takes a while to get the knack of it but its pretty straight forward after u get it

all of spectroscopy bored me to death...a lot of random content, and the extent to which you must know each technique is not 100% clear.

Yeh that was the underlying question, a lot of it seems completely random and I'm not sure what's required. I'll have to check the Study Design to see if it states anything specific.

I must say though, I'm working out of both StudyOn (my school text) and Heinemann, and each has things missing that I would've thought would be important. So glad I'm working out of both, so much easier for explanations

Yeah the more complex titration questions did my head in..
I completed the course in about 4 days - maybe too quick to fully grasp the more tricky things!

Guys- NMR is easy peezzzy, just practice, learning to interpret/understand while avoid learning the unnecessary stuff and you will be sweet.
