You need to know:
-energy graphs, ie: exothermic and endothermic ones.
-metal reactions with acid, water, and oxygen
-galvanic cells (electrochemistry)
-pollution (crude oil etc)
-distillation
-all the common glassware (eg burette, volumetric flask etc) and HOW they're used
-ionic and covalent bonding
-ionic equations (eg: net, complete etc --> that includes spectator ions)

That's a basic list. Enjoy!
