Notes to Self

[cjsmith]

Next time you agree to take on an extra seven-hour shift, check to see whether it's midterms week.

Never mind the solubility rules; memorize the strong acids and bases.

This week, get ahead of things instead of playing catch-up, okay? Sleep is good stuff. You want some. Really.

Do you have to memorize the weird ones too, like triflic acid and fluorantimonic acid? Or just the usual six?

Nope, we just have to memorize the six strong ones and assume everything else is weak. We've encountered homework problems on stuff I had to look up on Google to get the formula (seriously, the textbook used the compound but never told us what it was).
