A NOTE FOR TEACHERS

The Applied Practice in AP Chemistry series was designed for use by teachers as an instructional supplement to major units in the AP Chemistry curriculum. This series was also conceived as a resource for teachers in preparing students for the AP Chemistry Exam. As you teach each unit, your students will have the opportunity to practice and to develop those skills required on the exams. Each book in the series includes:

• Teaching notes and strategies • Glossary of terms • 75 multiple-choice questions replicating Section I of the AP Chemistry Exam • Multiple-choice answer keys and answer explanations • 6 free-response questions replicating Section II of the AP Chemistry Exam • Free-response answer keys and scoring guide

We offer a few suggestions and explanations to help you receive the maximum benefit from our materials:

1. Applied Practice booklets do not purport to duplicate exactly an Advanced Placement Examination. However, questions are modeled on those typically encountered on these exams. Thus, students using these materials will become familiar and comfortable with the format, question types, and terminology of Advanced Placement Examinations.

2. Each Applied Practice booklet focuses on one topic within the AP Chemistry

curriculum. These booklets are excellent resources for teachers and their students. Their unique format includes questions designed for use during the initial teaching of the required topics. Other questions are exceptional for the review phase of the course, as students pull the entire year together leading up to the AP Chemistry Exam. The AP exam often will require knowledge in multiple content areas on the same question.

3. You have the option of using the Applied Practice booklets for your own lesson

and test preparation or, if you so choose, students may work through an Applied Practice test booklet on their own as they progress though the course. The students can check their own answers with the answer key and read the answer explanations provided in the teacher edition, conferring with the teacher as needed.

4. The order of topics in the Applied Practice booklets has been organized to follow a logical progression that is similar to the sequence in many of the most widely selected AP chemistry textbooks. You will find that they can easily be adapted to whatever sequence you find most productive at your school.

Page 8: Applied Practice in · 2016-08-24 · A NOTE FOR TEACHERS The Applied Practice in AP Chemistry series was designed for use by teachers as an instructional supplement to major units

5. The free-response questions in each topic were created to provide practice questions similar to both those given in part A of the AP Chemistry Exam, which allows use of a calculator, and those given in part B, in which no calculator is allowed. In a few cases, the specific content is best assessed with a combination of both types.

6. Due to the emphasis on laboratory experience in the College Board’s AP Chemistry program, the Applied Practice booklets in AP Chemistry frequently include laboratory-based questions appropriate to the subtopic addressed. A required laboratory-based question does appear on the AP Chemistry Exam. While most Applied Practice booklets in the AP Chemistry series do contain laboratory-based free-response questions, some topics do not lend themselves to the College Board-recommended laboratory experiments. However, each Applied Practice booklet does contain multiple-choice questions related to both laboratory and descriptive chemistry. Only one of the six free-response questions included on the AP Chemistry Exam is laboratory based.

7. Each booklet includes a glossary of terms that applies to the vocabulary of that

particular topic. 8. If the teacher wishes to replicate the conditions under which students will take the

actual AP Chemistry Exam, he or she should understand the following about multiple-choice versus free-response questions when using Applied Practice booklets: When answering multiple-choice questions (AP Exam, Section I) students are not allowed the use of a calculator, and the only reference information available to them is a periodic table (with only symbol, mass number, atomic number) and a small table of abbreviations/symbols used in the questions. When answering free-response questions (AP Exam, Section II), much more information is available to the student. In addition to the periodic table, a table of standard reduction potentials in aqueous solutions and a relatively complete list of equations, constants, and abbreviations/symbols are provided.

TEACHING STRATEGIES

Following are some suggestions for using Applied Practice materials as you work to help your students develop mastery in answering AP-style questions. GENERAL The AP Chemistry Exam will be a challenge for all students. In this section, we have provided strategies for answering the questions themselves as well as some suggestions for teachers to keep in mind when presenting the material. 1. A certain amount of rote memorization is required. We offer the following

suggestions to help students prepare for this:

• Mnemonic devices are excellent tools for memorizing hard facts. For example, in Kings Play Chess On Funny Green Squares, the first letter of each word represents the divisions of the classification system in binomial nomenclature: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

• Students are also encouraged to create flashcards; a tried and true method that can help them be successful.

Items that students are required to know for the AP Chemistry Exam include: • names and formulas of polyatomic ions • names and formulas of strong acids and bases, as well as common acids and bases • the metric prefixes from pico to giga • the Greek prefixes in molecular nomenclature: mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, etc. • the solubility rules for ionic compounds • the identity of the seven diatomic elements • the phases of all elements at room temperature (25oC) • the SI quantities and their units • rules for significant figures • rules for assigning oxidation numbers to atoms in compounds

2. Students will see many graphs in both the multiple-choice and free-response

questions. In a few instances, they may be required to produce the graph from given information. Teachers should incorporate interpretation of scientific data written in graphs during instruction both in the classroom and the laboratory. The more graphs that students are required to produce during the year, the easier the questions containing this type of information will be for them on the exam.

Page 11: Applied Practice in · 2016-08-24 · A NOTE FOR TEACHERS The Applied Practice in AP Chemistry series was designed for use by teachers as an instructional supplement to major units

MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS (MC): 1. The questions in these booklets are valuable for both the initial teaching of the

concepts of chemistry and for preparing students for the style of questions and the level of difficulty encountered on the AP Chemistry Exam. In particular, some subtopics are more fundamental than others. While these subtopics are required in order for students to be able to comprehend more advanced material later on, they would not necessarily appear “as is” in a question on the AP exam. However, we have included multiple-choice questions over this material to support instruction, to provide an expanded test bank of questions, and to familiarize students with this type of assessment.

2. The question most commonly asked by students preparing for the AP exam is: “How

many multiple-choice questions should I answer in Section I?” To answer this question, we will consider what is required for a student to receive a score of “3” (which is labeled as “qualified” by the College Board and considered “passing”; thus, this score is a reasonable goal for most students.) Judging by released past exams for which full data is available, a student typically must score approximately 52–58 points out of the160 possible on Sections I and II combined in order to receive a “3.” Thus, it is reasonable to assume that to pass the AP Chemistry Exam, students need to earn 26–29 points or more from Section I. For each question answered incorrectly, a 0.25 point penalty will be subtracted from the score. Typically, if students are answering more questions correctly than incorrectly, they should continue to increase the number of questions they answer, for it takes four incorrect answers to cancel one correct answer. Most students reach a point at which answering additional questions merely lowers their score. Successful students over the years typically answer the following numbers of questions corresponding to these eventual scores:

• 35–50 questions: “3” • 45–60 questions: “4” • 55–70 questions: “5”

This formula by no means guarantees a particular score; each student is unique in his or her approach to answering questions. This is simply offered as a guideline; an average number of questions a student may choose to answer out of the 75 total questions in an effort to attain a particular achievement level.

3. Another question related to multiple-choice questions on Section I of the AP Chemistry Exam is, “Should I guess?” Because of the penalty for wrong answers (-0.25) and the fact that there is no penalty for questions not answered (just no points earned), it is advisable not to answer questions if the student has little or no knowledge of the information addressed in the question. However, if students can eliminate one or more of the answer choices, it may be a good idea to select an answer, as statistically the odds are then in their favor overall for those questions.

Page 12: Applied Practice in · 2016-08-24 · A NOTE FOR TEACHERS The Applied Practice in AP Chemistry series was designed for use by teachers as an instructional supplement to major units

4. A general strategy for multiple-choice questions involves time management. Since the exam limits students’ time to 90 minutes for Section I, they will need to learn to be efficient. While some students simply work more quickly than others, virtually all students find that time is a limiting factor on the AP Chemistry Exam. The ability to read and comprehend quickly is a tremendous advantage. Another skill that will help students overcome the time factor is reading and assessing the level of difficulty of each multiple-choice question quickly. Those questions that students believe they can answer but will take quite a bit of time to analyze should be skipped over initially. Students can mark those questions and return to them later, provided there is enough time. The vast majority of questions answered correctly by students are those for which they can determine the answer almost immediately. Those questions that consume the most time are also those that are most likely to be answered incorrectly.

5. As students approach AP-level question sets, teachers should prepare students to be

satisfied with a lower percentage of correct answers than is typical for them up to this point in their educational experience. Most schools around the country consider 90% an “A” grade, and many AP chemistry students are disappointed when earning test scores in the 70% or 80% range. However, the AP Chemistry Exam is scored in such a way that a successful “passing” score is between 34% and 50%, and a “5”—the highest score possible—is achieved with any point total above approximately 63%. Thus, it will take some time for students to adjust psychologically. Students should understand that a typical passing rate nationwide on the AP Chemistry Exam is approximately 56% of those taking the exam. It is definitely an achievement for a high school student to find success with a “3,” “4,” or “5” on one of the most challenging AP exams. One way to help students cope with a lower percentage of correctly-answered questions is to point out that identifying one’s weakest areas is actually very beneficial when taking the exam. Students who can identify these questions quickly and spend little time on them can accumulate precious minutes to use on other questions, thus raising their score.

6. The percentage scores on AP exams noted above refer to data published by the

College Board on their released questions and will vary from year to year, as individual students and classes of students vary in their abilities from year to year. Also keep in mind is that when students are being assessed on tests in class during the school year, they are often assessed on a concentrated, narrow amount of information – helpful for formative assessment and preparation, but not necessarily characteristic of a final AP exam administered after course has been completed. While students may achieve a higher degree of success on AP-level multiple-choice questions when they are tested immediately at the end of a unit; teachers are encouraged to factor in the level of difficulty and drastically reduced raw score that is regarded as highly successful by the College Board when assessing the students’ efforts.

Page 13: Applied Practice in · 2016-08-24 · A NOTE FOR TEACHERS The Applied Practice in AP Chemistry series was designed for use by teachers as an instructional supplement to major units

7. AP chemistry students typically do struggle with AP-level questions early in the course. AP-level questions require a broad background in the overall chemistry curriculum, and are also more difficult than those most students have encountered up to this point. It is advisable to provide answers to practice questions for students, especially early in the school year. They will find it helpful to read the question, work out an answer, and then get immediate feedback. Providing answer keys allows students to work backward from the answer and develops their understanding of how to attack multiple-choice questions at this level of difficulty. The answer explanations provided in the Applied Practice booklets are particularly useful in this regard. In addition to allowing some access to answer keys (unless, of course, you will be using these questions for assessment), teachers should plan to include time in class for guided practice of these questions, working them out with the students. Collaboration among students in small learning groups is also a useful technique. Chemistry is much easier to learn when students are able to talk about the content and reason out answers together.

8. A simple but useful tip for students is to underline, or in some way highlight, key

terms in the questions. Many times, a student will choose an incorrect answer because he or she simply misread the question.

Page 14: Applied Practice in · 2016-08-24 · A NOTE FOR TEACHERS The Applied Practice in AP Chemistry series was designed for use by teachers as an instructional supplement to major units

FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS (FRQs): 1. One of the most common reasons for producing an unsatisfactory response to a free-

response question on an AP Chemistry Exam is that the student did not answer the specific question that was asked. Often, students write information that is factually correct but does not apply to the question, or their response relates to information in the question without actually answering the question. Free-response questions often present a great deal of information when only small bits of that information are actually needed to answer each of many different parts of the question. Students should read the entire question before they begin to write. They should underline, or in some way highlight, exactly what is being asked in each part of the question. After writing their response, students should proofread their work to be sure they answered the question specifically. Often, students will look back over their answers when their papers are returned and realize their answers make little sense, often responding, “But I meant to say ____.” They will likely experience greater success when they take time to read over their answers to verify they actually wrote what they intended to say.

2. Students should be specific in their answers and should understand the difference

between a definition and information that justifies or explains their answer. In most cases, students should use complete sentences. A few questions have parts that merely require a list of items, and others ask for additions to diagrams, but for the most part, students will need to write coherently. A one-word answer is not sufficient to earn credit.

3. Students should be sure they understand the difference between an answer that

justifies their point and one that merely cites a correlation. A common example on past tests is a question about what determines the relative strength of London dispersion forces between molecules. Larger-sized atoms and molecules have more electrons and are more easily “ionizable”; thus, they are more likely to form dispersion forces. As atoms and molecules get larger, their nuclei get heavier, and thus the atomic and molecular weights increase along with dispersion forces. However, while increasing mass correlates to increasing strength of attraction between molecules, it does not explain or justify the increase.

An analogy illustrating this concept would be a graph of children’s mass with their level of intelligence. As they age, their brains develop at the same time their bodies grow and become heavier. Thus, older children are both smarter and heavier than younger children. But it would be incorrect to say that the children are becoming smarter because they are becoming heavier.

4. When teaching concepts in chemistry, it is tempting to make atoms, ions, and

molecules anthropomorphic. Humans tend to more easily understand concepts that are explained in a way that is relevant to the way we think and behave. Teachers must be careful not to instruct the students about what the atoms “want” or “need.” Often,

Page 15: Applied Practice in · 2016-08-24 · A NOTE FOR TEACHERS The Applied Practice in AP Chemistry series was designed for use by teachers as an instructional supplement to major units

students will write answers about an atom that is “happy” because it got the electron it “needed.” Even though students may have come to an appropriate level of comprehension on this concept, they will not receive credit when citing the emotions of a piece of matter on the AP Chemistry Exam.

5. Students should write out words fully, unless the abbreviations are universally

accepted. While their teachers may have come to understand a particular student’s shorthand, students are likely to lose out when the AP exams are graded.

6. Students should develop the habit of avoiding pronouns in their written answers, such

as beginning their first sentence with “it.” In many questions, there are dozens of things to which “it” could refer, and students will receive no credit for their answer if they use vague pronouns.

7. Using the free-response questions in the Applied Practice books is a good way to

develop students’ writing skills. Answers, explanations, and scoring guides for each of the six questions in an Applied Practice booklet are provided. The more writing students do, the better they will become at answering the questions in Section II of the AP exam. Although it takes time to grade students’ writing, the time will be well worth it in terms of their improvement and eventual success. Free-response questions are of three general types: large calculation questions that require good problem solving skills, equation writing, and “essay” types that require good writing skills. The first type of question will be seen on Section A of Part II of the exam, and the last two types will be found on Section B of Part II.

8. When answering free-response questions that require calculations (section II, part A,

questions 1, 2, and 3), students should develop these good habits from the beginning of the year:

Always list any mathematical formula to be used (i.e. PV=nRT) at the beginning of

the question. Never put numerical information in an equation without first writing that equation down first. The vast majority of all mathematical formulas to be used are listed in the reference sheets provided on the AP Chemistry Exam in section II. Some knowledge of mathematical formulas will be required on section I (multiple- choice), so it is good for students to know them and not always rely on the reference sheets.

While students’ work must be shown, typically much less work is required than that

required by most high school math teachers. If the student lists the mathematical formula, substitutes the correct numerical values from the question into the proper location, and clearly marks the answer, the student does not need to write out each of the various algebraic steps. However, there is no disadvantage in scoring if students are more confident showing their work. They simply need to be coached in the amount of time to use on each calculation question. Some students will need to write fewer steps if time becomes a factor overall.

Once the students calculate and write a final answer, they should do the following each time:

• Double check the number of significant figures in the answer. They must be

within one significant figure up or down from the correct number. • Double check the calculations. • Make sure they have labeled their answer as to which quantity it is (do not leave

answer as “x=0.050”). A label helps ensure they are answering the question correctly.

• Always include units (except for a few that do not use units, such as specific gravity and the equilibrium constant, Keq, etc).

• Box in the final answer. This not only helps the grader, but it provides an easy way for the students to check their work to ensure they have finished each part of each question. Also, answers from previous sections are often used on subsequent parts of the question. It is easier to find this information if it is boxed.

1. An experiment is conducted to determine the molar reacting ratio in the reaction between AgNO3(aq) and an aqueous unknown, group 1 phosphate. The method of continuous variation is used. In continuous variation, different amount of reactants are brought together and some physical property resulting from the reaction is measured. In this case, varying volumes (in each case adding up to a total volume of 40.0 mL) of 0.25M solutions are reacted together, a precipitate is formed and its mass is measured.

(a) Data are collected and plotted on the graph in figure 1 below. Add lines to the graph that

will allow the determination of the reacting ratio.

(b) What are the optimum volumes of the two solutions, i.e. the volumes that produce the

greatest amount of product? (c) Write and balance a FULL chemical equation for the reaction, using the symbol X for

the cation associated with the phosphate ion in the unknown solution. (d) Re-write the equation in (c), this time writing the net ionic equation. (e) Moving left to right on the graph, which reactant is limiting AFTER the maximum mass

of precipitate has been formed? Explain your answer. (f) Continuous variation can be used in other reactions where precipitates are not formed.

Suggest another physical property that could be monitored to determine an optimum ratio of reactants

The answer is determined simply from the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation. All others have 1:1 ratios. 18. (A) 2Na+ + O2- Na2O. 1 mole of Na2O has a total of three atoms. All other choices have more than 3. 19. (D) 10. Coefficients are 1, 4, 1, and 4, so the total is 10. 20. (D) 12. Coefficients are 2, 3, 1, and 6, so the total is 12. 21. (C) 6.

Hydrogen is in excess so will be left in the reaction vessel at the end of reaction along with the product. 39. (B) 20.0%. 246 g of nitrobenzene is 2 moles. From the equation we can see that there is a 1:1 of nitrobenzene to the product so we should get 2 moles of product.

From the equation we can see that there is a 1:1 of CaCO3 to CO2 so we should get 0.5 moles of CO2. CO2 has a molar mass of 44 g mol-1, so we should get 22 g of CO2. 50% of 22 g is 11 g. 42.

(E) None of the statements are true. Statement I is untrue since the mass of N in NO is 14 g and the mass of O is 16 g – i.e., NOT 50:50. Statement II is untrue since the empirical formula (simplest whole number ratio) is 1:2, and N2O5 and NO2 ARE in their simplest whole number forms so they have different empirical formulas. 44.

TYPES OF REACTIONS 46. (A) Precipitation. Silver ions will precipitate the bromide ions in the net ionic equation, Ag+

(aq) + Br-(aq) AgBr(s).

47. (D) Decomposition. The reaction is summarized thus: MgCO3 MgO + CO2 48. (B) Single Replacement. The reaction is a hydrogen displacement from water by a reactive metal. The equation is: 2K + 2H2O 2KOH + H2. 49. (E) I, II, III and IV. The single metal displacement reaction can be summarized thus: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq). Iron(II) sulfate is produced along with copper metal. The Fe is oxidized and the Cu is reduced. 50. (C) I and II only. Reaction in I would precipitate insoluble AgBr; reaction in II would precipitate insoluble PbI2; reaction in III is a hydrogen displacement from water by a reactive metal and yields no precipitates. 51. (D) I and III only. This reaction is a displacement of hydrogen by a metal from an acid, and can be summarized by this net ionic equation: Zn(s) + 2H+

(aq) Zn2+(aq) + H2(g).

52. (C) I, III and IV only. Reducing agents cause reduction by giving electrons away. In the process they are oxidized. A redox process must have an electron “source” and a “sink” – the electrons have to come FROM somewhere and have to go TO somewhere. All equations must balance in terms of charge AND mass. 53. (A) It gains electrons and Mn2+

(aq) is a product. Manganate(VII) (or permanganate) ions are oxidizing agents and as such gain electrons and are reduced in redox reactions. In acid solution the Mn species will tend to gain 5 electrons. 54. (C) The corresponding oxide and CO2. A typical reaction is CaCO3 CaO + CO2 where Ca can be replaced by any group 2 metal. 55. (C) Synthesis. The reaction can be summarized thus: S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g). The combination of elements to form (make) a compound can be classified as a synthesis (combination). 56. (B) Solid copper(II) hydroxide and a solution that contains sodium and sulfate ions. The net ionic reaction is Cu2+

(aq) + 2OH-(aq) Cu(OH)2(s). Sodium and sulfate ions

remain in solution and therefore are spectators. 57. (C) Mg3(PO4)2(s). The net ionic equation is: 3Mg2+

(aq) + 2PO43-

(aq) Mg3(PO4)2(s). The sodium and chloride ions remain in solution, are spectators and as such do not appear in the net ionic equation.

The reaction is a combination or synthesis where two elements combine to form a new compound.

When water of crystallization is driven off by heating, the residue left behind is said to be anhydrous, or “without water”. 63. (D) Constant mass.

Molar ratio of MgSO4 to H2O = 1:7. 65. (C) Reheat the sample to a constant mass and then carry out the procedure in (A) with the new mass rather than 4.18 g. When determining their formula, hydrated salts must be heated to remove ALL of the water of crystallization. To ensure this, they must be heated to a “constant mass,” i.e., heated until no more water can be removed. Essentially (A) is the correct procedure, but one must ensure that constant mass has been achieved. 66. (C) I and II only. Bromide ions will also precipitate out with silver ions, meaning that some precipitate is NOT AgCl as one may assume. Failure to dry the precipitate will give a mass of AgCl that is artificially high. Potassium ions will not precipitate chloride ions. 67. (C) 31.0. In one molecule or formula unit of a compound, there must be a whole number of T atoms. 31 is a common factor to the masses of T present in the four different compounds meaning there are different (whole) numbers of T atoms in each of the compounds. 68. (C) 48 g mol-1. Two moles of oxygen atoms have a mass of 32 g. If 32 g is equivalent to 40%, then 100% has a mass of 80 g. This makes the mass of J = 80 -32 g = 48 g.

(B) The residue after heating will be recorded as being smaller than the correct value and as a result the percentage of water calculated will be too large. Loss of salt will result in smaller mass being recorded for the residue, which in turn will report a larger value for the mass of water lost. BOTH of these factors contribute to the percentage of water being reported too high. 72. (D) I and II only. Bromide and chloride ions will precipitate with the silver ions but nitrate ions will not.

Since this reacts with 1 mole of Fe the formula is FeCl2. 74. (A) MgSO4.7H2O. Heating one mole of this salt to a constant mass will cause 126 g of water to be lost, leaving 120 g of anhydrous salt, i.e. over half of the mass will be lost. All of the other salts will lose less that 50% of their total mass since the anhydrous parts have a greater mass than the water of crystallization present. 75. (C) III only.

(e) Unknown phosphate is limiting. Up to the apex the silver nitrate was

limiting (adding more of it continued to produce greater mass of precipitate). After the apex the silver nitrate is in excess (i.e., the phosphate is limiting) since adding greater amounts of it does not produce greater masses of precipitates. (1 point for identifying the unknown phosphate as the salt; 1 point for the explanation)

(f) Temperature change, conductivity change, absorption change etc. (1 point)

the following: • Clean and dry the crucible and weigh it. (1 point for the mass of the clean,

empty crucible) • Add a known mass of silver oxide. (1 point for weighing the crucible with

the compound) • Heat carefully at first followed by more vigorous heating until no further

reaction occurs. (1 point for heating) • Allow crucible to cool and reweigh. (1 point for weighing the crucible with

the product) (c) (i) Silver metal. (1 point for the correct product) (ii) Mass of silver oxide = 24.821 – 21.986 g = 2.835 g Mass of silver at end of experiment = 24.627 – 21.986 g = 2.641 g Mass of oxygen released = 2.835 – 2.641 g = 0.194 g

5. (a) (i) This is to ensure that all potential impurities have been removed, and that the masses recorded are strictly ONLY those of the hydrated salt and crucible. (1 point for explanation)

(ii) To avoid splattering and the loss of salt. (1 point for explanation) (iii) To ensure that all of the water of crystallization has been driven off. At

this point the mass will not undergo any further change, and is said to be a “constant mass.” (1 point for indicating that this is the signal that the reaction is complete)

(b) The mass of water will be recorded as being too small, meaning the moles of

water will be calculated as being too small in the final formula. (2 points: 1 point for the effect on the formula and one point for the explanation why.)

(c) (i) Grease from fingers may add to the total mass of the crucible and its

contents, which would suggest that less water has been removed than actually has been. This would lead to a calculation of too few moles of H2O in the final analysis. (2 points: 1 point for effect on the formula and 1 point for explanation; students may consider the issue of safety, handling a hot crucible, and possibly spilling the salt)

(ii) All of the water may not escape, meaning the mass of water lost

calculated would be too small. This would lead to a calculation of too few moles of H2O in the final analysis. (2 points: 1 point for effect on formula and 1 point for the explanation)
