ABOUT THE AUTHORS John Moore grew up in the foothills of western North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina–Asheville, where he received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry. He earned his master’s degree in chemistry from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. After a stint in the United States Army he decided to try his hand at teaching. In 1971 he joined the faculty of Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, where he still teaches chemistry. In 1985 he started back to school part-time, and in 1991 received his doctorate in education from Texas A&M University. In 2003 his first book, Chemistry for Dummies, was published. Richard Langley grew up in southwestern Ohio. He attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he earned bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and mineralogy and a master’s degree in chemistry. He next went to the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, where he received his doctorate in chemistry. He took a postdoctoral position at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, then became a visiting assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls. He has taught at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, since 1982. The authors are coauthors of Chemistry for the Utterly Confused, Biochemistry for Dummies, and Organic Chemistry II for Dummies. Both authors are graders for the free-response portion of the AP Chemistry exam. In fact, between them, they have over twenty-five years of AP grading experience and estimate that together they have graded over 125,000 exams. 00-Moore_FM_i-xx.indd 5 30/05/18 6:59 pm This page intentionally left blank 00-Moore_FM_i-xx.indd 6 30/05/18 6:59 pm CONTENTS Preface, xiii Acknowledgments, xv Introduction: The Five-Step Program, xvii STEP 1 Set Up Your Study Program 1 What You Need to Know About the AP Chemistry Exam, 3 Background of the Advanced Placement Program, 3 Who Writes the AP Chemistry Exam?, 4 The AP Grades and Who Receives Them, 4 Reasons for Taking the AP Chemistry Exam, 4 Questions Frequently Asked About the AP Chemistry Exam, 5 2 How to Plan Your Time, 9 Three Approaches to Preparing for the AP Chemistry Exam, 9 Calendar for Each Plan, 11 STEP 2 Determine Your Test Readiness 3 Take a Diagnostic Exam, 17 Getting Started: The Diagnostic Exam, 18 Answers and Explanations, 28 Scoring and Interpretation, 32 STEP 3 Develop Strategies for Success 4 How to Approach Each Question Type, 35 Multiple-Choice Questions, 35 Free-Response Questions, 38 STEP 4 Review the Knowledge You Need to Score High 5 Basics, 45 Units and Measurements, 46 Dimensional Analysis—the Factor Label Method, 47 The States of Matter, 48 The Structure of the Atom, 48 Periodic Table, 52 Oxidation Numbers, 55 Nomenclature Overview, 55 Experiments, 61 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 61 Review Questions, 62 Answers and Explanations, 65 Free-Response Question, 66 Answer and Explanation, 66 Rapid Review, 67 ‹ vii 00-Moore_FM_i-xx.indd 7 30/05/18 6:59 pm › viii Contents 6 Reactions and Periodicity, 69 AP Exam Format, 70 General Aspects of Chemical Reactions and Equations, 70 General Properties of Aqueous Solutions, 71 Precipitation Reactions, 72 Oxidation–Reduction Reactions, 73 Coordination Compounds, 77 Acid–Base Reactions, 78 Experiments, 82 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 82 Review Questions, 83 Answers and Explanations, 85 Free-Response Question, 86 Answer and Explanation, 86 Rapid Review, 86 7 Stoichiometry, 88 Moles and Molar Mass, 89 Percent Composition and Empirical Formulas, 89 Reaction Stoichiometry, 91 Limiting Reactants, 92 Percent Yield, 93 Molarity and Solution Calculations, 94 Experiments, 95 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 95 Review Questions, 95 Answers and Explanations, 98 Free-Response Question, 100 Answer and Explanation, 101 Rapid Review, 102 8 Gases, 103 Kinetic Molecular Theory, 104 Gas Law Relationships, 105 Experiments, 113 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 114 Review Questions, 115 Answers and Explanations, 117 Free-Response Question, 119 Answer and Explanation, 119 Rapid Review, 120 9 Thermodynamics, 122 Calorimetry, 123 Laws of Thermodynamics, 125 Products Minus Reactants, 125 Thermodynamics and Equilibrium, 129 Experiments, 130 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 130 Review Questions, 131 Answers and Explanations, 134 00-Moore_FM_i-xx.indd 8 30/05/18 6:59 pm ‹ Contents ix Free-Response Question, 135 Answer and Explanation, 136 Rapid Review, 137 10 Spectroscopy, Light, and Electrons, 138 The Nature of Light, 138 Wave Properties of Matter, 140 Atomic Spectra, 140 Atomic Orbitals, 141 Photoelectron (Photoemission) Spectroscopy (PES), 142 Experiments, 143 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 143 Review Questions, 143 Answers and Explanations, 145 Free-Response Question, 146 Answer and Explanation, 146 Rapid Review, 147 11 Bonding, 148 Lewis Electron-Dot Structures, 149 Ionic and Covalent Bonding, 149 Molecular Geometry—VSEPR, 153 Valence Bond Theory, 155 Molecular Orbital Theory, 157 Resonance, 158 Bond Length, Strength, and Magnetic Properties, 159 Experiments, 159 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 159 Review Questions, 160 Answers and Explanations, 162 Free-Response Question, 163 Answer and Explanation, 164 Rapid Review, 165 12 Solids, Liquids, and Intermolecular Forces, 167 Structures and Intermolecular Forces, 168 The Liquid State, 169 The Solid State, 170 Phase Diagrams, 172 Relationship of Intermolecular Forces to Phase Changes, 174 Experiments, 174 Common Mistakes to Avoid, 174 Review Questions, 175 Answers and Explanations, 177 Free-Response Question, 178 Answer and Explanation, 178 Rapid Review, 179 13 Solutions and Colligative Properties, 180 Concentration Units, 181 Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes, 184 Colligative Properties, 184 00-Moore_FM_i-xx.indd 9 30/05/18 6:59 pm
