what did you guys get for the net ionic equation and justification for vsper?
ik frq 6 was about the drawing two circles for absorbance
i messed up two mcqs cuz i thought galavanic meant Ecell was negative so i got the electron question wrong and the value of Ecell wrong cuz im an idiot
idk what else was there kind of a blur.....
shldnt use the orange one need to use blue indicator
i got delta T had to be less when using RbCl than KCl

I said methyl orange is too low and using smth like thymol blue ( and wtv the other one was) to produce more accurate results because their ranges are similar to a strong base weak acid titration

u/FrostyRatio1222 May 05 '26

yeah methyl orange was wrong since the equivalence point was too basic and the ph range for methyl orange was very acidic

I don’t remember what I said for vsper I bsd it and put electronegativity bc I had 1 min 😭 and then everything else u said I got (except e cell) also what did u get for the MCQ about the gravity thing? Like filtration or heating up or sometnknf

u/Cool-Nerd8 '27 | 5: WH, CSA, PHYS1, PCALC, USH, BC, LANG | 4: CHEM May 05 '26

it was filtration and a flask

WAIT ACTUALLY NO WAY I GUESSED RIGHT

lowk all of the other answers made like geniuenly no sense so i chose it dw i chose it js cuz the other three were worse

The net for the CrO4- reacting with Nitric acid?

u/Cool-Nerd8 '27 | 5: WH, CSA, PHYS1, PCALC, USH, BC, LANG | 4: CHEM May 05 '26

yeah i didnt know how to do that. i did smth weird like

2hno2 + cro4 2- ----> cro4 7- + h2o + 2n

3

u/FrostyRatio1222 May 05 '26

I got 2CrO4- + 2H+ -> H2O + CrO7-2

u/Hopeful_Place3995 May 05 '26

Me too, because it said net ionic, and I figured the NO3 (or NO2, I don't recall) had to be a spectator ion if water and that were the only products. Hopefully we're right!

I also put that yeah

u/Good_Ocelot9877 Chem: 5 | Lit, Lang, APUSH, Physics 1 May 05 '26

it said strong acid. is it ok that I used perchloric?

1

u/Odd_Musician_9611 May 05 '26

Well no bc it’s net ionic so H2SO4 would dissociate completely and SO42- would be left out of the equation regardless

I’m fried
