Topics Covered:

• Oxidation Numbers

  • How to Calculate 

  • Rules & Exceptions

• Oxidation and Reduction

• Half-Reactions

• Balancing RedOx Reactions

• Solving in Acidic vs Basic Environments

Testing Tips:

The most common (and avoidable) mistake is not realizing that you have to balance a REDOX reaction. Also, double check the charges on both sides in your half reactions.

Topics Covered:

• Postulates of Kinetic Molecular Theory

• Gas Laws

• Ideal vs Real Gases (& how IMFs Affect This)

• VanderWaal's Law

• Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure

• Molar Fraction ("X")

• Diffusion & Effusion

  • Root Mean Squared Average Velocity

• Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution Graphs

Testing Tips:

Partial pressure and molar fractions are the most important to know when doing gas law problems (they're not just PV=nRT, sorry!)
