Description: The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT II: Chemistry exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about chemistry--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SAT II: Chemistry, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and: * Learn test-taking strategies that will help students outsmart the test and improve scores * Ace the exam by becoming familiar with the format * Use the Process of Elimination and the divide and conquer method to solve complicated problems * Perfect test-taking skills with practice questions and detailed answer explanations *** This book includes 2 full-length simulated SAT II: Chemistry exams. All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained. Contents Include: I Introduction II Test Strategies III Some Basic Stuff Mass Volume Density Pressure Energy Temperature and Specific Heat IV Elements, Atoms, and Ions Atoms and Elements V Chemical Reaction and Stoichiometry Molecules The Mole Chemical Reactions Reaction Stoichiometry Entropy Enthalpy Spontaneity and Gibbs Free Energy VI Electron configurations and Radioactivity Electrons and Orbitals Radioactivity VII The Periodic Table and Bonding The Periodic Table More About the Periodic Table: Some Important Trends VIII Solids, Liquids, and Gases Gases Intermolecular Forces Phase Changes Energy and Phase Changes IX Solutions Solutions Concentrations Solubility and Saturation X Kinetics and Equilibrium Kinetics Factors that Affect Reaction Rate Reversible Reactions and Chemical Equilibrium Le Chatelier's Principle XI Acids and Bases Acids and Bases Titration XII Redox and Electrochemistry Oxidation and Reduction Electrochemistry XIII Organic Chemistry Hydrocarbons Functional Groups XIV Laboratory Safety Rules Accuracy Significant Figures Lab Procedures Laboratory Equipment XV Practice Tests
