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

Symbol	Meaning
(aq)	Aqueous solution
(s)	Solid
(l)	Liquid
(g)	Gas
⇌	Reversible reaction
→	Forward reaction
Δ	Heat applied
↑	Gas evolved
↓	Precipitate formed

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
