CHEM 1101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Scientific Notation, Periodic Table, Chemical Formula
8 views1 pages

These are things that I expect you to ALREADY know/be
able to do – though we will review them in passing, and if
you haven’t been taught any of these, you are welcome to
come see me for help:
Arithmetic: rearrange linear equations and solve for any variable
Arithmetic: solve quadratic equations (quadratic formula given)
Exponential and scientic notation
Conversions from one unit to another (conversion factors given)
Insert or remove unit prexes (prex values not given)
Electromagnetic radiation and relation between energy and wavelength E
= h c / λ
Electron congurations (not necessarily the exceptions) from Periodic
Table/atomic number
Periodic table – molar mass given a chemical formula
Use units of molarity and do dilution calculations
Balancing chemical equations by inspection
Stoichiometry including limiting
