How to Excel Analytical Chemistry

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a recent Analytical Chemistry test where the grade received was acceptable but not satisfactory. The participant notes that many students believe time constraints affected their performance, while they feel the test included question types not covered in their textbook. They express a need for more challenging problems and exercises to enhance their understanding. Additionally, they seek recommendations for comprehensive notes that thoroughly cover analytical chemistry topics. The conversation also includes a light-hearted comment about staying engaged in class.

I just got my Analytical Chemistry test grade. It's fine but not a great grade. Everybody thinks it was a problem of time constraint.I think it's because were given question types that are different from what is in our book. Around 70% is very acceptable. The rest is a complicated problem that requires a deeper and a different approach of consideration.

That's said, I am not satisfied with the books problem and I need suggestions for more complicated problems and exercises.

I also want to know if anybody knows some REALLY comprehensive analytical chemistry notes that cover everything fully.
Thanks,

How do you excel in analytical chem? By trying not to fall asleep in class... :smile:
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

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...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

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!!
