TGIFri-Day 6
Regents: we applied the stoichiometry of a balanced chemical equation to see the relative rates of disappearance of reactants and formation of products.
We then began to discuss how factors can influence the rate of reaction by affecting the frequency of collisions per second and/or affecting the force/energy of collisions per second. We also discussed the requirements for an "effective" collision i.e. a collision that results in bond breakage/chemical reaction.

Honors: we completed a typical cooling curve and did the calculations for the energy lost as a gas is cooled, condensed to a liquid, the liquid is frozen, and the solid is further cooled.
We then just began a discussion of our new unit: Kinetics and Equilibrium.
Make sure that your labs are updated by Monday afternoon. That is your ticket to the bonus test.
Later today, I will post the list on our website. For now, here is a link to the file on edline.com:

AP: we had the big kahuna today: the solubility equilibria exam. The questions were straightforward but you had to be more careful and do more manipulations than on any other test this year.
Now, we can master Thermo and Electrochem and sprint towards AP Test Day with an AP (part I or part II) exam per day! Good times.
