Wednes-Day 6
AP: we had one of the biggest tests of the year featuring a buffer and titration question, one of which is extremely likely to be your first part II question on this year's AP Chem exam.
The next two weeks of material is RELATIVELY difficult and will demand your time and priority, as you will see. When you understand that material, though, the rest of the course will be relatively EASY.
Regents: we finished the gas laws and looked at the ideal gas law, which is obeyed when gases behave "ideally". We discussed this gas behavior with respect to the tenets of kinetic-molecular theory, which is just a fancy name for talking about gases at the particle level.
We may be able to finish the gas law unit tomorrow so be prepared for a test on that unit early next week.
Honors: we did the Ideal Gas Law in its myriad forms. We discussed kinetic-molecular theory and related it to the conditions under which gases behave more ideally (high T and low P).
Tomorrow, we have our second math of chem exam. We have covered a lot of material for that test so make sure that you can do each problem type backwards and forwards. Do well!
