IB Question Bank

 I'm pretty sure that this is not a free service, but you CAN access it without paying if you have a viable link. This is an official IBO service with actual past IB exam questions that are great for testing your understanding. Question banks are available for most of the courses. Props to Mr. Radnai for hooking us up with this!  https://www.ibdocuments.com/IB%20QUESTIONBANKS/4.%20Fourth%20Edition/index.html

Chapter 5/15 Review: Cambridge (Worked, Exam-Style Questions)

Image
The answers for these review questions are available, however worked examples are invaluable when you've gotten the answer wrong, but cannot figure out why.

Spontaneous and Non-Spontaneous Reactions

 This might help the memory:      For Gibbs, greatness was not spontaneous. It took energy. In Chemistry terms, G>0 is not spontaneous, and the reaction is endothermic.  Then, all you must remember is that entropy (S) is the inverse. Therefore, S>0 is  spontaneous. 

Answers to Data-Based Questions

 This may be generally frowned upon, but I found it helpful. https://global.oup.com/education/secondary/curricula/ib-diploma/science/biologyanswers/?region=international

Welcome

 A few of us were throwing around the idea of making a website to share study resources for Chemistry, so I figured I'd start the ball rolling. There will be resources for other IB classes as well, so use the different pages to navigate your way to them. If you want to be a blog editor, just ask, otherwise let me know if you have something that you want to add, or something you would like to see! 👍
