How To Study The Chemistry Experiments?

    I really hate the Chemistry experiments. The definitions and theory part is grand but the experiments are so mundane. I can't really learn it off. The procedure is way too long. I'm ok with the chemicals and equations but they tend to ask procedures in the exam as well.

    How do you study for the experiments? Do you learn of the whole procedure for each experiment?

    And is anyone not studying for the experiments that came up in the last 3 years?

    they never really ask you to repeat the whole procedure just parts, the important bits of the experiment are what you have to learn off

    Well how are you meant to know the important parts?

    For example they asked you on water (dissolved oxygen):

    In making additions to the sample, why should the solutions be concentrated?

    I couldn't find the answer in the book which was:

    To minimise the amount of water displaced/To make sure small volume provides excess of reagents

    Maybe that's just common sense but I wouldn't of known that.

    yeah that always used to happen to me last year when i was doing my lc i see an answer in the marking scheme that was nowhere in the book, sorry mate cant help you with these things. but maybe use the marking scheme to study from too as well andone other usefull thing is use revision books over textbooks as textbooks are a waste of time trust me
