Things to remember for final?

[Mauricio Maravilla 3C]

Do we need to memorize the strong/weak acids and bases. For the most part I have em down, but I just want to make sure. Thanks

[Shrey Pawar 2A]

I would say probably have them memorized as there is no harm in playing it safe. I'm pretty sure there weren't that many strong acids so it shouldn't be too bad.

[Jasmin Kumar 1G]

I think that having them memorized will make the final go more smoothly since you won't have to worry about if it a strong acid/base!

[Bethany Yang 2E]

I would suggest memorizing the strong acids/bases, so that in case there is a question about it (i can forsee him throwing one or two), then it would be easier to use process of elimination.

Hello!
I would say have the strong acids memorized, because while there are some key characteristics of strong bases you can know (group 1 and 2 oxides/hydroxides) that will make memorizing all of their names unnecessary, there are no such common trends amongst the strong acids. Also, there are only 7 strong acids, so it shouldn't be too difficult to remember them all.

[Simer_Shera_2D]

I would definitely memorize all the strong acids and bases. There are some pretty good mnemonics online to use if you need some help!

[Isabel_Eslabon_2G]

You only really need to know which acids/bases are strong and if you know the general rules for whether something is an acid or base, you can rule out if it's strong. There's too many weak acids/bases to memorize, but you can remember the strong ones easily.

Ok so I understand we should memorize the strong acids/bases but which ones are they... The ones he mentioned in Week 9 Wed. Lecture?

I believe these are the strong bases he mentioned (Li2O,NaOH,Na2O,KOH,CaO,Ca(OH2),Mg(OH)2) .. but I cannot find the strong acids. can someone list them? thank you!

[Mary Gallo 1G]

Is there some kind of sheet or something in the textbook that lists all of the strong acids/bases we should know for the final?

[Charisma Arreola 2F]

Since there aren’t too many, make flash cards and memorize them! I’m sure you’ll feel better if you do.

These are the 7 strong acids:
HCl - hydrochloric acid
HNO3 - nitric acid
H2SO4 - sulfuric acid
HBr - hydrobromic acid
HI - hydroiodic acid
HClO4 - perchloric acid
HClO3 - chloric acid

[Erika Sosa-Cruz 1J]

I would say to be on the safe side for you to memorize them just in case.

[Jaclyn Dang 3B]

I would memorize them and memorize the factors that make strong acids and bases.

[Mauricio Maravilla 3C]

Thanks for all the helpful answers!

[Lisa Seidl 3H]

There's a page in the "Chempendix" in Macmillan listing all the strong acids and bases and how to identify weak acids and bases that really helped me memorize the important ones!

[Teti Omilana 1G]

Memorizing them would be very helpful.

[Nicolette Simoni 3L]

Hi!

This chart from Macmillan was especially helpful to me, you should check it out! :)

Hi! I would say to memorize them, since we will only be given the periodic table and the formula sheet on the final.

Hey!
I learned a way to memorize the strong acids from the UA sessions. Its as follows:
"SO I BRought NO CLean CLOthes"
SO refers to H2SO4, I refers to HI, BR refers to HBr, NO refers to HNO3, CL refers to HCl, and CLO refers to HClO4/HClO3. I hope this makes it easier for you!

[Katie Phan 1K]

The "SO I BRought NO CLean CLOthes" thing is genius. I typically just memorized them all.

Do we have to remember Ryberg's constant for different units?
