Mon-Day 5

AP: we wrapped up the Thermo unit with a discussion of each of the thermo problem types. We then discussed electrical potential and half-cells. We also discussed free energy and work. We discussed the advantage of using electrochemical cells to avoid thermal energy loss to the surroundings.
We will continue with that unit after the test tomorrow, briefly. We will also do a quick thermo lab. The test will go till about 9AM and will have proportionately fewer questions. There will be only Thermodynamics questions on this unit test.

Honors: we discussed each type of equilibrium and set up for the upcoming most important concept of the rest of the course: Le Chatelier's Principle. Sadly, we will have to wait until after the break to explain that. We have the first test of the last quarter tomorrow: this will cover the notes from heating and cooling curves through the notes on kinetics and potential energy/ enthalpy diagrams.

Regents: we discussed each type of equilibrium and the various terms associated with each.
We will have a brief quiz tomorrow on enthalpy diagrams, heats of reaction, and heating/cooling curves and then we will continue with our equilibrium unit.
