n=m/M
number of moles = mass/Molar mass
^H=-mC^T
H = heat energy
m= mass
c = specific heat (usually water I think? which is like 4.186 iirc)
delta t = change in temperature (= final - initial temp)
c=n/v
c = concentration
n = number of moles
v = volume
C1V1=C2V2
C1 = Concentration 1
C2 = Concentration 2
V1 = Volume 1
V2 = volume 2
What I usually did when I was lost was write out what I had from the information
e.g. if a question was asking me to find the mass of something.
then in the question I might have a c, and might have had a v.
Then I would figure out which equations this would fit in, so I would calculate an n once I figured that out.
Then I would look, what equation also has an n and has m? and that would be n=m/M
So I would figure out M, rearrange the equation and calculate.
Wow that probably made no sense.. sorry. hahaha. I'm procrastinating from my own study

I complete the Squar3
And always write a balanced equation if one hasn't been provided.

It's okay, you're only in prelims

No I know I can do well in chemistry. I just didn't put the effort in at all.

Chemistry isn't one of those subjects where you can completely forget year 11 content, you should revise it during the holidays.
