Paris High School AP Chemistry Summer Assignment 2016
To: All Incoming AP Chemistry Students
From: Dr. Janet Dickey, AP Chemistry, 2016 ‐ 2017
Welcome to AP Chemistry!
I am looking forward to meeting all of you and hope our year is filled with learning as well as fun. AP Chemistry is an equivalent course to Introductory Chemistry in college. Taking a college level course in high school is difficult and requires dedication in addition to extra time spent on chemistry outside of class. Come in August ready to learn!
This summer assignment is designed to review the skills you should have and background information that you are expected to know at the start of the course in August. Having not taught you Pre-AP Chemistry, we will have to work together to assure that you are ready for the AP Chemistry material. Additionally, your ability to teach yourself and be resourceful will come into play. If there is something you cannot do, you must find resources in order to figure it out.
One very good resource is Andy Allan’s website; he has generously made his resources available to any teachers or students. The site includes Powerpoints, Interactive Practice Exercises, as well as links to other helpful sources. http://www.sciencegeek.net/APchemistry/index.shtml
PART I: Memorize the names of the elements and their corresponding symbols
· You need to know elements 1-56, plus Pt, Au, Hg, Pb, Rn, Fr, Ra, U, Pu
· Flashcards will be helpful!
· It’s important to know these elements because the periodic table you are provided has only the symbols and not the names of the elements.
· A QUIZ WILL BE GIVEN THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL!
PART II: Memorize the common ions and polyatomic ions (LIST INCLUDED)
Unlike introductory chemistry, these ions must be easily identifiable by name and by formula in order to write adequate, balanced chemical equations. You must be able to write the name of the ion when given the formula and charge, and you must be able to write the formula and charge when given the name. A QUIZ WILL BE GIVEN THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL!
PART III: Complete the attached worksheet. DUE AUGUST 23rd, your first grade for the course.
This Part is designed to review background information from Pre-AP Chemistry. It’s okay if you have to find help online; this is for your review.
Watch my school website. As we get closer to August, I hopefully will have this summer assignment available (for those who misplaced it). Don’t wait until the night before school starts to begin memorizing and working problems; otherwise, you will start behind before class ever begins.

4. Chemical Reactions – Write and balance the following reactions.
a. Glucose (C6H12O6) reacts with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and water vapor.
b. Solid iron (III) sulfide reacts with gaseous hydrogen chloride to form solid iron (III) chloride and hydrogen sulfide gas.
c. Carbon disulfide liquid reacts with ammonia gas to produce hydrogen sulfide gas and solid ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN).
d. Aqueous solutions of lead (II) nitrate and sodium phosphate are mixed resulting in the precipitate formation of lead (II) phosphate and aqueous sodium nitrate as the other product.
e. Solid zinc reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to form aqueous zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
f. Aqueous calcium hydroxide is neutralized by aqueous phosphoric acid to produce solid calcium phosphate and water.
5. Chemical Calculations – You must show the work (on a separate sheet of paper) that leads to your answer to receive credit. Write your answers in the blanks to the left of the question.
Remember that: 1 mole element = 6.022 x 1023 atoms
1 mole compound = 6.022 x 1023 molecules or formula units
· molecules refer to covalent compounds while formula units refer to ionic compounds (mathematically they mean the same thing)
A. Bauxite, the principle ore used in the production of aluminum, has the molecular formula of Al2O3·2H2O (aluminum oxide dihydrate).
______(i) What is the molar mass of bauxite?
______(ii) What is the mass of aluminum in 0.580 mol bauxite?
