Tues-Day 7
AP: thank you all for coming in earlier than farmers to warm up for today's AP exam. You all seemed confident before the test and then confident and GIDDY after the test.
:)
You do realize that the vast majority of AP Chem test-takers do not feel at all elated after taking that exam. The only bad thing about this "easy" test is that you have so much more knowledge that you could easily have demonstrated had you been asked.
We witnessed and experienced a rare classroom occurrence this year: a class of different personalities that greatly complemented each other and made the class have a great personality of its own. The class became a pretty nice family. That was a great thing to see and be a part of.
Have a well-deserved rest tonight and a festive and raucous celebration this weekend!
Honors: we did a few Voltaic cell examples and introduced the quantitative calculations of cell potentials. We also wrote the redox equations that occur overall for a given Voltaic cell.
Regents: we did a few Voltaic cell examples and identified the site of oxidation, the anode (an ox), and the site of reduction, the cathode (red cat). We also wrote the redox equations that occur overall for a given Voltaic cell.
Make sure that you practice your oxidation numbers and redox balancing .
