Just curious (and nervous bc the test is tomorrow) but is the equation sheet given on the multiple choice section or only on the free response part? Thanks for your help!

I don't take AP Chemistry. But in terms of studying, I'd recommend memorizing all your equations anyway. If you know your equations and don't have to look at the sheet you can finish the Exam faster and take more time to think on the questions.

Good luck on your test!
 
Thanks for your note but there is no way I can memorize all those equations tonight. I know I'll have the equations on the the free response part and just curious about the multiple choice part. Thanks for the luck and note!
 
Well, I took my test. Wasn't too bad actually. But for any of you that might have been wondering, the equation sheet was not given on the mulitple choice part of the test but it really wasn't need eigther.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
