AP Unit 3 Free Response Questions

On the AP Exam: The Free Response Questions are 50% of your grade on the final AP Exam. There will be 7 FRQ's and you will have 1 hr and 45 minutes.*

-For the AP Chemistry free-response section, aim to spend about 23 minutes on each of the three long questions and 9 minutes on each of the four short questions. Remember that you can use a calculator for the entire section and should plan your time by starting with your strongest questions to maximize points. 

Free-response question timing:

• Long Questions (3 questions): ~23 minutes each (worth 10 points each)

• Short Questions (4 questions): ~9 minutes each (worth 4 points each) 

Strategies for managing time:

• Look over all questions first: Before starting, take a few minutes to skim all seven questions to decide which one you want to answer first.

• Start with your strengths: Tackling your strongest questions first can build momentum and ensure you don't get stuck on a problem you don't know and use up all your time.

• Show your work: Always show your calculations and the steps you took to get the answer, as this is required for credit, even if you don't get the final answer correct.

• Keep an eye on the clock: Use a timer to keep track of your progress on each question to avoid spending too much time on any single one.

• Don't get stuck: If you don't know how to solve a question, don't spend too much time on it. You can always come back to it later, and partial credit is often available for showing your knowledge of the concepts involved

For Today: Write your answers on your own piece of paper. Another student will be grading this so write legibly and clearly.

• You will work with your lab partner on this FRQ (in the future you will be doing them alone) but everybody will write our their own answers.

• You will have 30 minutes. A timer is set on your test (I will give a 5 minute buffer, which means you can still finish questions up to 5 minutes after the timer goes off).

• Go to AP Classroom and click on Assignments then Unit 3 FRQ

• You may use your AP periodic table, and orange AP Formulas sheet.

• Scoring

  • • When finished, you and your lab partner swap your FRQ for theirs. 

    • Using a red colored pencil, write your Corrected by: and Your Name at the top and score your classmates FRQ's to offer them feedback. 

    • When you get your FRQ's back, fix any errors using a green colored pencil

    • If no red and green markups are on your paper, it will not be entered as a grade in the grade book.

Test Prep: Unit 3 AP Video Lessons Review - Prepping for the Exam

Exam FRQ on Thursday, Exam MCQ on Friday

• All video lessons are assigned in AP Classroom. I highly encourage making time to watch them. 

• For each section where you watch the video(s) entirely, and complete all the practice problems for that section, you will earn +1% on your Unit 3 exam. There are 13 sections which means you have the potential to earn 13 xc points on the exam.

• Another great resource to prepare for this exam is Khan Academy (Highly Recommended): https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-chemistry-beta/x2eef969c74e0d802:intermolecular-forces-and-properties 

• **Note: If you prefer Khan Academy videos and quizzes to the AP Classroom ones, let me know and you can share your progress with me and get the xcred from Khan Academy instead - visit with me first.

Quiz: Chapter 3: The Mole - The Central Unit in Chemistry

• You will take the quiz with your lab partner.

• Close all tabs on your computer, you may not use the book or the internet.

• Since you did this chapter all on your own, you may use any notes you took from the reading but no other resources.

• You may take the quiz 2 times. Both scores will be averaged together.

Study: AP Unit 1 Test - Thursday and Monday

• Thursday - Free Response Question Test (FRQ)

• Friday - Grade FRQ's and get feedback

• Monday - Multiple Choice Question Test (MCQ)

• Unit 1 includes Chapters 1,2,3 in our book but the Unit Exam is not from your book it is from AP. Check the "Course at a Glance" to see the topics covered in the Unit 1 exam (pink sheet I gave to you).

• Log in to AP Classroom

  • • Unit 1 - Each section has AP Daily Videos and Topic Questions. These can be used at any time to help you with AP Chemistry.

    • Assignments: I've assigned several practice problems and other resources. They have been assigned but will not be graded. They were assigned to ensure that you have access to all of the resources. The Test on Tuesday will be on AP Classroom so the questions will be very similar to the Topic Questions that have been assigned. Spend your time where you need the most practice/help.

    • Do each of the assigned problems and KNOW HOW TO ANSWER similar problems to what you are practicing. Recall that the exact questions on the practice problems will not show up on the exam but some will be VERY similar with different numbers. 

    • If you don't know how to answer a certain type of question, refer back to your book to learn how to do it.

• Help? I will be here every day before and after school to help and to answer your questions.

Rutherfords Gold Foil Experiment

• Prior to 1909, the atom was thought to be a sphere of positively charged particles with negative particles (named "electrons" by their discoverer, JJ Thompson).  From 1909 to 1911, Ernest Rutherford and other scientists experimented by shooting alpha particles (Helium nuclei with no electrons) at thin sheets of gold (called "gold foil"). They noticed that many of the alpha particles went straight through but some of the particles did not. They were deflected when they encountered 'something' inside the foil. Because alpha particles are positively charged, Rutherford reasoned that there must be small positively charged objects inside the foil that were deflecting the small charged alpha particles. Shooting countless particles over numerous experiments, Rutherford was able to conclude that there is a positively charged nucleus at the center of an atom with electrons around the outside. 

• Watch this quick video on Instagram showing the Rutherford Experiment 

• Try out this amazing simulation by shooting Alpha particles at nuclei to see they are deflected.

Lab: Spectroscopy - Analysis of Food Dyes in Beverages

Day 1 - Introductory Activity

• • Lab Explanation and Clarifications

    • • Overview

        • • What are we doing in the Introductory Activity

          • I am giving you a solution of blue dye with a KNOWN concentration. You will then dilute this so that you have several solutions of blue dye at known concentrations.

          • The amount of light absorbed by each sample is recorded. The data is then plotted on a graph.

          • Using this information, we should be able to determine the concentration of blue dye in anything containing blue dye by putting it in our photospectrometer and  determining its Absorbance. We plot the unknown samples Absorbance on our graph and it will tell us the concentration.

      • Cuvettes

        • • Clean them thoroughly with lens wipes. Why?

      • Measuring and Pipettes

        • • Be very accurate with measuring so your samples are the correct concentration. Why?

      • Plotting your data

        • • Note: Our machines give us Absorbance so we DO NOT need to convert %Transmittance into Absorbance - yay for fancy lab equipment!!

          • Make a graph of concentration vs absorbance. Is it a straight line graph? Can we find a true line of best fit? If not, we need to plot it in different ways until we find a good straight line so we can solve for unknowns.

• Notice: I did not assign practice problem - you need to do practice problems for the sections where you need to refresh your memory. I am giving you the opportunity to figure out what you need study and practice.

• Quiz will be next week.

Coming up...

Monday: 

September 18 - Thursday

What will we learn today? Refresh our memory on topics from Chemistry 1 in including moles, mole ratios, balancing chemical equations.

How will we know if we've learned it? I can develop a 'recipe' for a smoke cake based off the mole ratios presented
