How to learn to solve problems in chemistry

The school curriculum is quite rich, theoretical knowledge is acquired, but there are no practical solution skills. What to do and how to learn how to solve problems in chemistry? What is required first of all from the student?

Solving problems in chemistry has its own specifics, and you need to find a starting point that will help you learn to understand this difficult matter.

What you need to know to solve problems in chemistry

To correctly solve problems in chemistry, first of all, you need to know what the valency of elements is. The composition of the formula of the substance depends on this; the equation of the chemical reaction cannot be compiled or even without taking into account the valency. The periodic table is used in almost every task, you need to learn how to use it correctly to get the necessary information about the chemical elements, their mass, electronic levels. Most often, in tasks it is required to calculate the mass or volume of the resulting product, this is the basis.

If the valency is not determined correctly, all calculations will be incorrect.

And then other, more complex tasks will be solved easier. But above all, the formulas of the substances and the correctly formulated equations of the proceeding reactions, indicating what will ultimately turn out and in what form. This can be a liquid, freely liberated gas, a solid that precipitates or is dissolved in water or another liquid.
