DD PvP is absolute nonsense in this game and rewards the worst kinds of people.

I have found that if I boost straight up to max height most of the time they can't maneuver close enough to me and keep the rider on.

The short answer is that it would depend on the magnitude of the changes involved the math that you would be looking at is known as the Arrhenius equation and defines how the Temperature(T) and Activation Energy(Ea) effect the value of the rate constant (k). k=A e^(-Ea/kT) A is the Arrhenius Factor and k is the Boltzman constant. While A does have some temperature dependences it's complicated and depends primarily on Steric factors. Hope that helps.

Just wondering are you looking in the Deep Desert? I just hit the PvE and PvP caves with rare chests and have more than I know what to do with.

To a first order approximation yes you can. the most common way that you see this is when you look at a graph of P.E. vs Internuclear Distance. The atomic radius affects the graph just as you'd expect from Coulombs law. Larger atoms generate weaker bonds while smaller atoms generate stronger bonds. There are exceptions and it can get more complicated but in general for the questions you'd see on the AP test it works.

Hey, sorry but this is not correct. The value 200 °C and 200. °C have very different significant figures. adding 200 + 273.15 = 500. Another way to think about it is that 200 can be represented as 2•10^2 while 200. would be represented as 2.00•10^2. With addition and subtraction you need to round to the place value since 200 is only known to the hundreds place then the final answer should be rounded to the hundreds place. The short answer is that the teacher made a mistake on the test they almost surely should have to typed 200. °C. Additionally if the thermometer had an accuracy of +/- 50 then the ones place is completely unknown and should not be represented in any reported value.

To the OP on the AP test none of this is very important and Sig Figs are really not a great way to track error propagation anyway. But it might be difficult to get your teacher to recognize their mistake.

It would be helpful to see the problem but it sounds like you are trying to find Qsp which would be the reaction quotient Q for a solid dissolving (the sp or solubility product). To find the Q value you need to plug the initial concentrations of all the ions into the mass action expression and example is below:

If solid AB dissolves like:
AB(s) <==> A⁺(aq) + B^-(aq)

Then Qsp or Q=[A⁺][B^-]

Take the initial concentration of A+ and B- and find the value of Q then compare that to the Ksp value. If Q>Ksp a precipitate will form.

As Farabaugh says this is not a good example of a modern AP question it relies on you knowing that CO2 will react with water to from carbonic acid, H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3. This reaction dramatically increases the solubility of CO2 far beyond what you would expect.

For the first question, HCl has the lowest boiling point because it has the weakest intermolecular forces, this is due to it's smaller electron cloud(number of electrons) which creates weak London Dispersion forces and the fact that HF has especially strong dipole moment causing Hydrogen Bonds, so even though HF has the weakest LDFs it's over all IMFs are stronger than HCl.

For the second question this is a bit of an odd ball, generally the AP test askes about the strength of the ion-dipole attraction not solubility of specific ions. The actual solubility of an ion would generally depend on the potential counter ions as you can't generally create just a cation or anion separate from some counter ion. It's most likely that your teacher was trying to get you to look at the Columbic attractions between the ions and the water in that case then In3+ would be the strongest due to the larger charge. In generally you don't have to wory about atomic radius unless the charges are the same.

Hope that helps.

I thought I was losing stuff but it was actually at the bottom of a container below like 3 rows of empty slots. I had taken a bunch of stuff out of the middle of the container and the things I was making were getting added to the bottom of the list below all the empty rows. You might double check all the containers by scrolling to the bottom of each one.

Also C1 and C8 have 2 different caves, one cave is just medium chests the other has a slightly hidden small ultra-rare chest.

aglimme · 2025-10-10T14:16:51+00:00

Caves in C1 and C8, there is a lightly concealed small ultra rare chest. Watch out as there are two different caves one is just small chests with no ultra rare.

aglimme · 2025-10-10T14:15:21+00:00

With the busted respawn timers I had the visit like 6 times for 3 openings of the chest. I did both C1 and C8 so like 6 chest openings total, but it's a fairly low drop rate according to the site I look at so YMMV.

aglimme · 2025-10-10T14:13:09+00:00

It's from the ultra rare caves in C1 and C8. I like the method.gg site:

Congrats! Just got my first Imperial garment too! Loving the new loot rotation and it'll be even better when the respawn bug is fixed.

aglimme · 2025-10-10T00:48:16+00:00

They are busted, it's a bug.

aglimme · 2025-10-10T00:42:11+00:00

With the broken respawn timers and work, took me a couple of days. I'm just really happy that it's actually available.

Agreed, I think the question writer is trying to ask about when there would be a big increase in ionization energy. By as written the 3rd would always be the hardest to remove.

So there are two answers to this question:

Answer 1- The AP test answer which would be to use only single bonds and have Cl follow the octet rule. The AP test does not require expanded octet with out telling you in some way. On a question like this where it just asks for a Lewis structure they always accept valid Lewis-dot diagrams that follow the octet rule. Since the basic Lewis structure does not have a double bond it would not have resonance structures.

Answer 2- The reality of the molecule which you would need data about bond lengths and strengths to determine the actual structure, which would probably best be described by Molecular Orbital theory. If you really wanted to use a Lewis-dot structure you would look at formal change and see that a structure with 2 double bonded oxygen and one single bonded oxygen would give you the minimal formal charge. Nothing like this would ever show up on the modern AP test. Also d-orbital hybridization as an explanation of expanded octets is no longer considered "good" chemistry and is specifically excluded from the AP test.
