Problem-Solving Patterns
Stoichiometry Problems
- Write balanced equation
- Convert given to moles (using molar mass or molarity)
- Use mole ratio from balanced equation
- Convert to requested units
pH Calculations
| Type | Formula |
|---|---|
| Strong acid | pH = -log[H⁺] |
| Strong base | pOH = -log[OH⁻], pH = 14 - pOH |
| Weak acid | pH = ½(pKa - log C) |
| Buffer | pH = pKa + log([A⁻]/[HA]) |
Redox Balancing (Acidic Solution)
- Separate into half-reactions
- Balance atoms except O and H
- Balance O with H₂O
- Balance H with H⁺
- Balance charge with e⁻
- Multiply to equalize electrons
- Add half-reactions
Common Notation

Lewis Structure Steps
- Count total valence electrons
- Draw skeleton structure (central atom)
- Place bonding pairs
- Distribute remaining electrons as lone pairs
- Check octets (or duets for H)
- Form multiple bonds if needed
