Gr.11 Chemistry Exam Review
The best way to study for your Chem exam is to review your tests. I have put copies of your tests into
the shared gr.11 Chemistry folder. Please print them off as you need.
Unit 1: Review of Gr.10 and VSEPR Theory
1) You will not be asked specific questions from the gr.10 review, but should obviously be proficient
at all of these skills
2) VSEPR Theory
a. What it is
b. Predicting and drawing 3-D shapes
c. Predicting polarity based on shape and electronegativity differences
d. What is electronegativity?
Units 2&3: Moles and Stoichiometry
1) Determine average atomic mass using isotopes and their relative abundance. Include: atomic
mass unit (amu)
2) Write formulas and names for polyatomic compounds using International Union of Pure and
Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature.
3) Calculate the mass of compounds in atomic mass units.
4) Write and classify balanced chemical equations from written descriptions of reactions. Include:
polyatomic ions (gr.10)
5) Predict the products of chemical reactions, given the reactants and type of reaction. Include:
polyatomic ions (gr.10)
6) Describe the concept of the mole and its importance to measurement in chemistry.
7) Calculate the molar mass of various substances.
8) Solve problems requiring interconversions between moles, mass, volume, and number of
particles.
9) Determine empirical and molecular formulas from percent composition or mass data.
10) Interpret a balanced equation in terms of moles, mass, and volumes of gases.
11) Solve stoichiometric problems involving moles, mass, and volume, given the reactants and
products in a balanced chemical reaction. Include: heat of reaction problems
12) Identify the limiting reactant and calculate the mass of a product, given the reaction equation
and reactant data.
Unit 4: Solutions
1) What is a solution
2) Terms: solute, solvent, solution, insoluble, soluble, immiscible, miscible
3) Concentration (molarity), what it is, solve for moles, concentration or volume
4) Dilutions: C1V1=C2V2
5) Titrations: BCaVa = ACbVb
6) Describe the structure of water in terms of electronegativity and the polarity of its chemical
bonds.
7) Explain heat of solution with reference to specific applications- dissolving acids, solubility
variation with temperature changes!
8) Solubility curves – interpret and analyze
9) Explain how a change in temperature affects the solubility of gases, solids
10) Explain how a change in pressure affects the solubility of gases.
