This "lab" helps students to learn to concept of estimating an additional place value beyond the place value for which the measuring tool has marks for, understanding the precision of various measuring tools, and using the rules for significant figures when making lab calculations. In addition, they will read measurements for the length, width, height, and mass of a box and then perform various calculations and conversions using these measurements. The measurements first need to be recorded to
AP Chemistry Topic 1.5 Electron Configurations worksheets. This worksheet includes a periodic table with some of the electron configuration pattern filled in and the student completes the pattern. This introduces the s, p, d, and f blocks, helps them to see patterns for energy levels and sublevels, and see and visualize where the f block fits into the table. The next page helps students to see the patterns between principle energy levels, sublevels, and orbitals. The third page is an electro
AP Chemistry Topic 1.4 Worksheet: Composition of Mixtures. WARNING: Students must know stoichiometry, which is the 4.5 topic, in order to complete this worksheet. Worksheet includes problems involving both impurities and stoichiometry as well as a lab error analysis question. Answers included.
AP Chemistry Topic 1.2: Mass Spectroscopy of Elements. This worksheet is short, but covers the topic. There are three problems giving masses and percent abundances of multiple isotopes of an element for the student to calculate the weighted mass average of that element and a problem with a mass spec graph. Answers are provided.
AP Chemistry Topic 4.5 Stoichiometry Worksheet. This worksheet includes stoichiometry problems along with problems involving limiting and excess reagents. Answers are included.
AP Chemistry Unit 1 Lab: Percent Purity. Warning: This lab requires writing a balanced chemical equation and stoichiometry (these are unit 4 topics), but it can be easily altered by the instructor providing that information so the students don't need to know it to do it. Students are given a mixture of a substance with an impurity and will run and experiment that purifies the mixture and then use the results to calculate the percent purity of the original mixture. Instructor notes as well as
AP Chemistry Topic 1.1: Moles and Molar Mass. This worksheet covers molar mass and conversions between moles and volume, mass, and number of particles. The answers to each problem are included.
AP Chemistry Topic 1.8 Valence Electrons and Ionic Compounds Worksheet. Practice drawing lewis dot structures, determining valence electrons, and ion charge for monatomic ions and a page of determining formula unit (cross the charges) for binary ionic compounds. Key included.
Rules for significant figures and practice (key included) as well as rules for significant figures when adding and subtracting versus multiplying and dividing with practice problems (key included).
