Oh yeah. Just different focuses. Equilibrium will be cycling out for something else, can't remember what is due...

Okay, thanks. Do you think hydrogeology will replace anything next year?

As far as I know Hydrogeology isn't slated to replace anything, sorry

Just a clarification: each student can bring a double-sided cheat-sheet, so our team can bring a total of 4 pages, right?

So kinetics is one of the new topics next year, yeah?! How can I prepare for this event with this new topic in rotation for next year? What kind of labs should I expect? Any resources I can use to start preparing?

Find some chemistry books, study the kinetics chapters, and do the practice problems.

I imagine you might need to time a reaction to completion (picture this: given different catalysts or amounts of the same catalyst, time how long it will take for the reaction to go to completion in each case, do stuff with your data, etc.) But I think most of the hands-on/lab portion will be in the reactions/stoich topic b/c there's a wide range of things you can do with that
