Chapter 4 Checklist for the Chemistry-First Version of
An Introduction to Chemistry by Mark Bishop



 Read the chapter quickly before the lecture that describes it.



 Study the Chapter Glossary.

 Study all of the Chapter 4 Objectives. You might want to write a description of how you will meet each objective. (Although it is best to master all of the objectives, the following objectives are especially important because they pertain to skills that you will need while studying other chapters of this text: 3, 4, and 10.)

 Reread the Study Sheets called Sample Study Sheet 4.1: Balancing Chemical Equations and Sample Study Sheet 4.2: Predicting Precipitation Reactions and Writing Precipitation Equations and decide whether you will use them or some variation on them to complete the tasks they describe.

 Memorize the following solubility guidelines. Be sure to check with your instructor to determine how much you are expected to know of the following guidelines.

Soluble Cations : Group 1 metallic ions and ammonium, NH4+

Soluble Anions : NO3- and C2H3O2-

Usually Soluble Anions :

Cl-, Br-, and I- except with Ag+ and Pb2+

SO42- except with Ba2+ and Pb2+

Usually Insoluble : CO32-, PO43-, and OH- except with group 1 elements and NH4+



 Ask for help if you need it.
