How long will it take me to memorize 1,400 flash cards (index cards)?
Ya, Seriously. One thousand and four hundred flash cards.
Just how many hours will it take?
This is for a contest, not an exam or anything, so I don't need to understand the concepts, just memorize questions and answers. The material is Chemistry based, so don't be confused about why I am just MEMORIZING long word problems involving calculations and equations and their answers. (None of us in the contest have even learned this material yet)
They range in difficulty as shown below: since I have to memorize these, difficulty can mean either in content or length.
EASY
Q: How many atoms in one face-centered cubic unit cell of a metal?
A: Four
SO-SO
Q: If an equal number of moles of the weak acid HCN and the strong base KOH are added to water, is the resulting solution acidic, basic or neutral?
A: Basic
HARD (or at least sort of lengthy)
Q: When a narrow diameter tube is inserted into a body of water, water rises in the hole and its surface inside is concave upwards. Which statement concerning the strength of the intermolecular forces between lass and water molecules compared to those between water molecules is accurate?
A: The forces of attraction between the glass and water are stronger than those in water
HARD (due to length and all those numbers and elements)
Q: Gaseous Hydrogen bromide decomposes at elevated temperatures according to the following equation: 2HBR(g) -->H2(g) +Br2(g). At a certain temperature a 2.00 L flask is initially filled only with 0.600 mol of HBr. What is the value of Kc at that temperture if the flask contains 0.104 mol of H2 at equilibrium?
A: 7.04 x 10^-2
so yea...1400 of those
I am not a GENIUS, but my memory is not HORRIBLE
how long would it take an average person (in hours)
Thanks!
