4. The Importance of Units Units must be carried into the answer, unless they cancel. 0.64 kg-m s2s2 5.2 kg (2.9 m) (18 s)(1.3 s) = 4.8 kg (23 s) (5.2 s)(37 s) = 0.57 kg s

5. Basic Algebra Solve the following for x. x + y = z – y x = z – y x and y are connected by addition. Separate them using subtraction. In general, use opposing functions to separate things. The +y and –y cancel on the left, leaving us with…

6. Basic Algebra Solve for x. x – 24 = 13 +24 x = 37 x and 24 are connected by subtraction. Separate them using the opposite function: addition. The –24 and +24 cancel on the left, leaving us with…

7. Basic Algebra Solve for x. F = k x kk x = F k __ x and k are connected by multiplication. Separate them using the opposite function: division. () __1 k F = k x () __1 k (or) The two k’s cancel on the left, leaving us with…

8. x = 8 7 __ Basic Algebra Solve for x. 8 = 7 x 77 x and 7 are connected by multiplication. Separate them using the opposite function: division. () __1 7 8 = 7 x () __1 7 (or) The two 7’s cancel on the right, leaving us with…

9. ___ BAH TR x = Basic Algebra Solve for x. ___ x BA = TR H ___ BAH = xTR One way to solve this is to cross-multiply. BAH = xTR Then, divide both sides by TR. The answer is… 1 TR () ___1 TR () ___

10. Solve for T 2, where… P 1 = 1.08 atm P 2 = 0.86 atm V 1 = 3.22 L V 2 = 1.43 L T 1 = 373 K P 1 V 1 T 2 = P 2 V 2 T 1 ____ T1T1 P1V1P1V1 = P2V2P2V2 T2T2 1 P1V1P1V1 () 1 P1V1P1V1 () T 2 = P1V1P1V1 ______ P2V2T1P2V2T1 130 T 2 = (1.08 atm)(3.22 L) _____________________ (0.85 atm)(1.43 L)(373 K) = K

11. A General Procedure for Solving Problems Read the problem carefully and make a list of the “knowns” and the ‘unknowns” Look up all needed information –Y–Your lecture notes will have much, if not all, of the needed information Work out a plan and, following your plan, obtain an answer by carrying out the required math. Check over your work –T–This is best done by estimating your answer –A–Ask yourself: “Does the answer seem reasonable?”

12. How to Succeed in Chemistry Learn the language Use the illustrations Review your notes frequently Work as many problems as possible Do NOT cram for exams.
