AP Chemistry Summer Assignment Robin Stefurak, M.Ed Welcome to AP Chemistry! This is a demanding, challenging and stimulating course, with accompanying lab, that will cover the first year of College Chemistry. In preparation for the up and coming school year, you will want to complete the Summer Assignment before the first day of school. The material in this packet is a review of some concepts covered in a Pre-AP / Honors Level Chemistry Course. These are concepts that need to be firmly in place prior to the first day of AP Chemistry Class. The number one indicator of how a student will perform in AP Chemistry is SELF MOTIVATION!!!!! The Summer Assignment is very reasonable. However, DO NOT wait until the end of summer break to begin the packet. Materials needed for class! 1. Completed Summer Assignment Packet (please have completed the first day of school) 2. Three Ring Binder (2.5 in.) 3. Blue or Black Ink Pen 4. A Pencil 5. A Red Pen 6. A Calculator that you know how to use. A graphing calculator is not necessary. A TI-30 will suffice. FINALLY, the first Exam will be over the material covered in the Summer Assignment. It is on the THIRD DAY of school. Khan Academy is a wonderful resource if you need assistance with any of the material covered in this assignment.

AP Chemistry Summer Assignment Robin Stefurak, M.Ed
Welcome to AP Chemistry! This is a demanding, challenging and stimulating course, with
accompanying lab, that will cover the first year of College Chemistry.
In preparation for the up and coming school year, you will want to complete the Summer
Assignment before the first day of school. The material in this packet is a review of some
concepts covered in a Pre-AP / Honors Level Chemistry Course. These are concepts that need
to be firmly in place prior to the first day of AP Chemistry Class.
The number one indicator of how a student will perform in AP Chemistry is SELF
MOTIVATION!!!!!
The Summer Assignment is very reasonable. However, DO NOT wait until the end of summer
break to begin the packet.
Materials needed for class!
1. Completed Summer Assignment Packet (please have completed the first day of
school)
2. Three Ring Binder (2.5 in.)
3. Blue or Black Ink Pen
4. A Pencil
5. A Red Pen
6. A Calculator that you know how to use. A graphing calculator is not necessary. A TI-30
will suffice.
FINALLY, the first Exam will be over the material covered in the Summer
Assignment. It is on the THIRD DAY of school.
Khan Academy is a wonderful resource if you need assistance with any of the material
covered in this assignment. Videos for Khan Academy can be viewed directly from the site or
on Youtube.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W. CHURCHILL
You will need to know:
1. Polyatomic Ions. A list of relevant Polyatomic Ions is included. These need to be
memorized prior to the first day of school.
2. Memorize the 7 Diatomic Molecules, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, and H2 (remember, it
looks like an upside down L or seven on the periodic table and H)
3. Elements #1 (H) – # 88 (Ra) AND Uranium (U) and Plutonium (Pu) on the Periodic
Table. ( You will not be given a periodic table with the names of the elements in AP
Chem. )
4. Know where the metals, nonmetals, metalloids are on the periodic table
5. Nomenclature and formula writing
6. Determine if a compound has covalent bonds, ionic bonds or both
7. Naming Acids
8. Balancing
9. Reaction Types (Synthesis, Decomposition, Double Displacement, Single
11. Oxidation Numbers: Determine the oxidation number for each element in the
following.
a. H2O i. SO-2
b. CO2 j. F2
c. H2SO4 k. Zn
d. NaOH l. NH+
e. HF
f. H2O2
g. MgCO3
h. LiNO3
12. Oxidation Reduction Reactions: For each reaction, determine what is being oxidized
and what is being reduced ( remember: OIL, RIG )
a. 2Li + CaCl2 Ca + 2LiCl
b. 2Mg + O2 2 MgO
c. HNO3 + H3PO3 NO + H3PO4
d. 4Al + 3O2 2Al2O3
13. Net-Ionic Equations: Write the balanced complete, total ionic, and net ionic equation
for the following. Some will actions will require you to predict the products first. (use
the Solubility Rules below)
a. AgNO3 (aq) + KCl (aq) AgCl (s) + KNO3 (aq)
b. manganese(II) chloride (aq) + ammonium carbonate (aq)
manganese(II) carbonate (s) + ammonium chloride (aq)
c. K3PO4 (aq) + Al(NO3)3 (aq)
d. cobalt(III) bromide + potassium sulfide
Solubility Rules: (These DO NOT have to be memorized, you only have to know the BIG
THREE)
1. All salts of Group IA, and ammonium are soluble.
2. All salts of nitrates, chlorates and acetates are soluble.
3. All salts of halides are soluble except those of silver(I), copper(I), lead(II), and
mercury(I).
4. All salts of sulfate are soluble except for barium sulfate, lead(II) sulfate, and strontium
sulfate.
5. All salts of carbonate, phosphate and sulfite are insoluble, except for those of group IA
and ammonium.
6. All oxides and hydroxides are insoluble except for those of group IA, calcium,
strontium and barium.
7. All salts of sulfides and insoluble except for those of Group IA and IIA elements and
of ammonium.
BIG THREE:
1.) All nitrates (NO3-) are soluble!!!!!
2.) All Group I Metals and Ammonium (NH4+) are soluble!!!!!
3.) All Halogens are soluble except when combined with Pb, Ag, Hg!!!!
