Week 3 Test
Does anybody know, in terms of the assigned homework for this chapter, what numbered problems correlate to what we are actually being tested on in Week 3?, Professor has talked about omitting part of the chapter, the part he is teaching next week, but what numbered problems should I be doing to prepare myself for Week 3's Test?

Re: Week 3 Test
In terms of numbered problems, the only ones I see that have isothermal reversible expansion are 8.11 part B and 8.12 part B, so just omit those.

Re: Week 3 Test 1 Topic is endorsed
Test 1: I have decided that we need to do more examples and you need more time for ‘work’ and ‘energy’. :-)
Calculations involving work and internal energy will not be on Test 1.
Concept questions involving work and internal energy will be on Test 1, but not calculating w and delta U.

Re: Week 3 Test
Also, anything involving bond enthalpies, enthalpies of formation, and calculating energy from a calorimeter will be on the test.

Re: Week 3 Test
I would focus more on the concepts of work and internal energy as well as calculating enthalpy and heat. This includes: the different methods of solving for enthalpy, calorimeter calculations. Don't worry about the equations that you need to calculate the actual work and internal energy. Hope this helps!

Re: Week 3 Test
Does anyone know which homework problems from Chapter 8 are the ones we don't need to study for test 1?

Re: Week 3 Test
For the test do we need to know how to derive the work equation? I know Dr. Lavelle said work and DU won't be on the test but this seems like a conceptual thing to me so I'm not entirely sure.

Does anyone know if the born-haber cycle will be tested? There is a whole section on it in the chapter but we have not talked about it in class

Re: Week 3 Test
Can anyone give me an example of a conceptual question that has to do with work or energy?

Re: Week 3 Test
Yes, a formula sheet with constants and equations will be provided.
Here's the sheet: https://lavelle.chem.ucla.edu/wp-conten ... ations.pdf

this is equation 4, and Lavelle said not to worry about it for test 1. But know conceptually
Re: Week 3 Test
Calculating values for work, internal energy and solving reversible expansion problems will not be on the test!

Re: Week 3 Test
Doing ALL the problems (except for the ones he said to skip) he assigns will prepare you enough for the test

Re: Week 3 Test
After going through the homework I noticed numbers 3-13,25-31, and 47-49 all have to do with calculating work or internal energy. I would suggest studying all the other homework problems specifically for this upcoming test.

We won't be required to solve for internal energy, I believe, but there will probably be concept questions on it.

For the most part, Dr. Lavelle covers everything we should know for the test conceptually with some examples, but it's definitely recommended to prepare by doing the homework while also reviewing notes!

Dr. Lavelle usually includes a homework problem or one that is very similar to the homework in his tests, so it can be pretty similar. In general I find it really helpful to do the homework! If anything, sometimes the homework can be less straightforward than test problems.

In 14A it was pretty much if he didn't cover the topic in class then we do not need to know it for the test. The HW problems are pretty good indicators of what he will test on.

Re: Week 3 Test
What sort of concepts should we be comfortable with for internal energy and work? I'm confused what we will be tested on conceptually - I feel like internal energy and work deals mostly with calculations.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Can anyone else confirm that these problems aren't going to be tested on?

Will we be tested on memorizing the formulas in section 8.10: A Molecular Interlude: The Origin of the Heat Capacities of Gases? Thanks!

These equations are included on the constants and equations worksheet. We would likely just need to know how to apply them.

On the syllabus, it says, "Homework problems will be included in tests and exams"! And I believe I saw somewhere that said at least 1 homework problem will be on the test? Either way, doing the homework always helps for Lavelle's tests!

Content from this week won't be on the exam, right? I'm pretty sure it's just material from Weeks 1 and 2

Yes, he wrote on his website that the test will only have material covered in weeks 1 and 2.

There are no calculations on heat and internal energy but you do have to understand the concepts.

Re: Week 3 Test
understanding the concepts just means like being able to interpret what the equations solve for?

I think for example he could give you a scenario where the walls between the system and the surroundings are adiabatic. Then, it could be true/false for a series of things like:
q=0 True
q>0 False
delta U = w True
delta U = q True if w=0
