The following are the learning outcomes that match up with Exam 3. When we write exam questions we try our best to match them up with learning outcomes. Once again we will try for about 20 questions.

Unit 5 - Solubility Equilibria

1. Describe the dissociation of ionic compounds in solution.
2. Understand the concept of the ion product (Ksp)
3. Write total and net ionic equations to identify spectator ions.
4. Determine solubility from Ksp and vice versa.
5. Estimate molar solubility from Ksp (or any other solubility term).
6. Understand and apply the "common ion effect" on solubility.
7. Given concentrations of specific ions, predict if a precipitate will form (amount or concentration) using Q vs K.

Unit 7b - Chemical Kinetics

1. Understand the concept of rate of change associated with chemical change, recognizing that the rate of change and how it can be measured.
2. Determine rate law of chemical change based on experimental data.
3. Be able to identify the reaction order for a chemical change.
4. Understand the concept of pseudo-first order kinetics and when they apply.
5. Apply integrated rate equations to solve for the concentration of chemical species during a reaction of different orders.
6. Understand the concept of mechanism and using rate law data predict whether or not a proposed mechanism is viable or not.
7. Recall and explain why certain factors such as concentration, temperature, medium and the presence of a catalyst will affect the speed of a chemical change.
8. Interpret a reaction coordinate diagram and determine if such a diagram supports a given mechanism, including the concept of the transition state and the reaction intermediate.
9. Understand the concept of an activation energy in the context of the transition state and be able to calculate the activation energy given some experimental data.
10. Recall, manipulate and properly employ the Arrhenius Law.
11. Explain the function and purpose of a catalyst.
