Tuesday, Day 1: THIRD QUARTER COMMENCES!

AP: we learned the time-dependent expressions of the rate laws for first and second order reactions. From the first order equation, we determined the relationship half-life time and the rate constant of a first order reaction (remember, you only need to know the UNITS of the rate constant to know the order of the reaction).
We will derive the second order half-life equation tomorrow as well as the zeroth order rate law, constant, and half-life equation....good math, good times...thanks for the help with the calculus today!

Honors: today we reviewed the various types of intermolecular attractions; we began to relate the relative strengths of these intermolecular attractions to various physical properties: vapor pressure, boiling point temperature, melting point temperature, and miscibility/solubility with other substances.
We will continue these explanations tomorrow.

Regents: we reviewed the intermolecular forces of attraction and gave multiple examples of molecules that exhibit a given type of attraction e.g. H2O = hydrogen "bonding" attractions , Br2 = induced dipole/London Dispersion/VanderWaal's attractions.
We mostly focused on induced dipole attractions. Tomorrow, we will relate each type of intermolecular attraction to the physical properties of the substances.
Study your notes...
