I agree, super helpful

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you!

Aliya Roserie 3I

I would also go through all lecture note practice problems

Aliya Roserie 3I

I love Happy by Pharrell Williams

Aliya Roserie 3I

I would say study textbook problems!

Aliya Roserie 3I

I like to play monopoly as a destressor and eat a tub of ice cream

Aliya Roserie 3I

I love Caesar salad with blackened grilled shrimp! Yumm

Aliya Roserie 3I

I have heard that the professor tries to put a couple of them in there are create similar questions like the textbook problems.

Aliya Roserie 3I

E is not a state function because it is path dependent. We must remember that state functions are recognized when the path taken does not matter.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I would recommend Sociology 1, and Film TV 4. Both manageable classes!

Aliya Roserie 3I

State functions is when u can simply solve a problem by observing the final state minus the initial state.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I agree with Nane! Great explanation!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thanks for sharing. I honestly make the same silly mistakes and I just think more and more practice problems will help!

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think this happens maybe when they are trying to check or adjust something with the grades.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think they will return back soon. Dont panic

Aliya Roserie 3I

I say dont overthink and just understand the basics. practice sapling and hw textbook problems.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you for this post! this is very helpful.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Sapling is definitely helpful for the midterm. I would highly recommend using it as a study tool.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Does anyone know how to post a question?

Aliya Roserie 3I

I am not too sure!

Aliya Roserie 3I

We should all be getting grades back sometime this Friday !

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hi Aliya! I am sure you did great ! Don't worry too much about the midterm ! Im sure you did great! If it brings any sort of joy, my name is Aliya too!!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Yes! You are correct. I haven't heard of any exceptions to this rule.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I would recommend taking BL and CL with your chem classes but be mindful of adding many classes to your schedule as it can get really busy with the labs! I am taking it now (chem 14BL ) with chem 14B and it is definitely manageable.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hi Sarah, Yes you are correct ! I absolutely agree!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thanks to all who replied. This was one of my questions too!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Does anyone know how to post a question?

Aliya Roserie 3I

There are a couple audio visual resources available but the main focus was on Chemical Equilibrium! Hope this helps.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you so much! Definitely super helpful. This is so generous of you! Thanks again. Happy Studying.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I am doing wonderful! Super nervous for midterms but keeping strong so far as I continue to study for them.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I did not have this issue. Try emailing your TA to ensure that your grade is accounted for !

Aliya Roserie 3I

If a reaction requires some form of energy then it is endothermic, and if it releases then it is exothermic. typically a positive delta indicates endothermic, and a negative delta is exothermic.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Remember we can only account this for gases, we exclude liquids and solids.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Yes that is correct. You can most definitely use the ICE box to solve partial pressures!

Aliya Roserie 3I

I agree with everyone that sapling is due every other week.

Aliya Roserie 3I

thanks everyone!

Aliya Roserie 3I

We may use some of the concepts in 14A to help understand the concepts of 14B, however I have heard that 14B is less conceptual and more mathematical.

Aliya Roserie 3I

when you say that a chemical equation favors the left, what you are essentially saying is that there may be more reactant and therefore the reaction will go in the forward direction. If you say that the chemical equation favors the right, what you are essentially saying is that there are more produc...

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think its best to just try to post 5 times a week to ensure that you are receiving all the points for the week.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I believe it will! We should all have respondus downloaded to be more prepared for the exam.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think the general rule of thumb is that acids are proton donors and bases are acceptors. We know that acids give off H+ and bases OH-

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thanks Julia !

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thanks for the reply! I was curious as well!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you professor Lavelle for a wonderful quarter! I do hope that you keep safe! thanks for making this quarter fun and memorable!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Honestly same, super unfair :( im going to cry !

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you so much! I appreciate it !

Aliya Roserie 3I

Does anyone know if Dr. Lavelle is going to unlock the two previous midterms--so we can review the problems? I'm not sure, I think that as of right now the only way to see the previous midterm questions is going to office hours with your TA and even then they'll just read out the questions instead ...

Aliya Roserie 3I

I had a similar question. Thanks to everyone who responded! super helpful!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Will the final be taken during the discussion section?

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think what helps is not studying the day of the exam because we can often overthink our own self confidence.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I study by watching YouTube videos of each topic with a practice problem which are really helpful!

Aliya Roserie 3I

Sorry! I am not. I do feel that it will be okay! I am doing Chem 14B and BL and heard that it's manageable.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I also had a similar question. These posts are all very helpful! Do you guys think he will be curving the grades?

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think its really good to speak with some friends, possible FaceTime them. I personally like to color or do something on the creative side to get my mind off of studies for a little bit.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I also feel like midterm 2 was a bit difficult. But keep it up and study hard. You can do it !

Aliya Roserie 3I

I really would love some extra credit opportunity! I hope professor Lavelle can take this into thought for students struggling with the material.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I appreciate all your advice.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hey! How are you? Nice to know there is someone out there with the same spelling too!

yoooo what's up Aliya we got the same name[/quote]

Aliya Roserie 3I

I had a similar question to this. Thank you Grace for inserting the link. I will definitely be looking at that.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Honestly same. I personally had a hard time focusing in the beginning because other students had difficulty asking the exam. I hope he keeps it under 12 plzz.

Aliya Roserie 3I

The midterm is multiple choice, so the instructions should hopefully be clear if a drawing of the structure is needed. Most likely you would have to draw it, but the multiple choice would give you different structures to choose from. However, I advice you to draw the structure with the lowest formal...

Aliya Roserie 3I

I also think that it will help conceptually to connect how the energies relate to the SPDF orbitals and how they are placed on the periodic table.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I also wanted to know.. How do we check to ensure we have posted 5 times each week?

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think that you should choose just a few study choices. I feel like going to everything offered and doing everything that is optional can be a bit overwhelming. I would recommend just doing what works best with the way that you learn chem. :)

Aliya Roserie 3I

I do not recommend taking them simultaneously as they both require a lot of time and effort for both. I do recommend completing chemistry before the LS series. Chemistry is a lot of pre reqs for other classes you would need to take later on.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hello! I think its really important to know that covalent bonds share electrons, this is what separates the difference between ionic and covalent interactions with other electrons.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hey Guys! Honestly, I just want to appreciate everyone and the kind and supportive words. This midterm was definitely tough and I know with each other we can do our best on the next one.

Aliya Roserie 3I

N,F,O are typically the ones we see forming hydrogen bonds.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think the last test taken was on Friday so we should receive grades by Wednesday.

Aliya Roserie 3I

We can use Avogadro's number in order to convert to a unit of necessity such as molecules, atoms, etc.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Happy Halloween to everyone! Be safe especially over the weekend! Have fun everyone!

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think if you watch a couple YouTube videos on those you will feel more comfortable with understanding the material. thats what helps me the most.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I believe he will post them once all the students have taken the exam.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hi Kyla, Im not too sure on the number of questions on the exam. What I have heard is around 10-20 questions that are all MC.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I am not too sure about the passing rate of the chemistry classes. Don't be nervous, you got it! just keep studying and everything will be okay.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I heard from my TA that it would be around 20 questions. I am not sure how true that Is given the time limit we have been given.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think that it is important to keep the significant figures in mind because your answer would be more accurate when you follow the sig fig rules.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I agree with the above posts. It is important to know the general ones because we will be using those constantly while solving problems in class.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you to everyone who answered my question. Your responses have been more than helpful to me. Thanks guys.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Ive heard that the midterm is around 20 questions. I am not sure how true that is given that there are only 50 minutes.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Thank you for replying to this question! I do was missing some equations from my personal notes. I had a close question, do you guys think that for the exam the equations will be provided for our reference?

Aliya Roserie 3I

I had a similar question as well. I too like to read the questions aloud. Does anyone know if we can be muted for the duration of the exam?

Aliya Roserie 3I

Also, just for some helpful Information, the homework is the tab on CCLE and it will automatically direct you to Sapling where you put in your access code.

Aliya Roserie 3I

I dont think you need to know them for the exam. But just understanding how those laws relate to the content can be helpful to understanding larger contexts.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Did anyone confirm that the midterm would be MCQ only with the professor or a TA?

Aliya Roserie 3I

It can also depend on your TA. But, I believe you will be okay with using your cell phone as a web cam.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Sampling gives us unlimited attempts. As long as you complete it you are good. you aren't graded on the number of attempts, just completing it and getting them right eventually. Hope this helps !

Aliya Roserie 3I

You can purchase sapling from the bruin store in person if you still are unable to locate it online. Once you have the sapling code, then you can just click on the homework in week 1 and it should direct you to inputting a sapling code to access the course.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hi guys! I am a little confused on what the Avogadro constant represents and when best to use it? do we use it to help convert unit identification or something else?

Aliya Roserie 3I

I am also pretty rusty on chemistry and need additional resources to catch up to the speed that this chem class is going. One of the resources that I thought was also pretty helpful are the bar charts and periodic table packets that you can purchase from the bruin store. They give definitions and sm...

Aliya Roserie 3I

I think once you purchase sapling it will have the digital textbook on there. I also have a pdf version of the textbook so if you would like to access the textbook that way, please feel free to reach out to me through the groupme created.

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hey Guys, in regards to sapling HW. I was finally able to grab a hold on the access code. Are the HW problems in the syllabus, are the problems submitted on sapling?

Aliya Roserie 3I

1 mole is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon 12, which equals 6.022 * 10^23 (Avogadro constant). Specifically for this question, I think that it could be solved by dividing the number of carbon atoms by Avogadro constant, according to the definition of 1 mole. This was very helpful. Thank yo...

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hello, I am confused about the difference between a chemical and formula unit. Please provide insight on what they mean in chemistry and problem solving. Thank you! I also have a question in regards to using Avogadros"s number. Is there a certain formula to use when trying to work with convers...

Aliya Roserie 3I

This homework problem reads: E.1 The field of nanotechnology offers some intriguing possibili- ties, such as the creation of fibers one atom wide. Suppose you were able to string together 1.00 mol Ag atoms, each of radius 144 pm, into one of these fibers by encapsulating them in carbon nanotubes. H...

Aliya Roserie 3I

Hi! Just to make sure, our first test next week will be on the fundamentals only right? Or is it going to include everything we cover in lecture till the test day including the quantum stuff? Yes, our first test will only be on the fundamentals not the quantum section. To add on to that, just to co...

Aliya Roserie 3I

You have inspired me immensely! I know this is a bit unrelated to Chemistry and its topics, but how was the transition when it came to applying to medical school? what were some of the big necessities that made applying to medical school make you stand out?
