Chemistry 11:  We started off with a 15 minute discussion focused on writing good Conclusions, definitely a challenging skill that requires practice.  Lab 6B (all Questions and Calculations, Follow-up Questions, and a Conclusion) are due Wednesday.  We also spent time on the green legal sized Stoichiometry Calculations WS.  The last 15 minutes was spent watching a Titration, a procedure used to find an unknown concentration.

Chemistry 12:  After a short review of key terms (proton, hydronium, muriatic acid, lye, battery acid, stomach acid) we took notes on Bronsted-Lowrey Acids and Bases.  We read Unit 4.1 to 4.4, and did # 1-14.  Towards the end we learned about Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs, and completed 15-19.  Your Solubility Unit Test marks are available on myed- well done!

Chemistry 11:  After a review of Endothermic and Exothermic reactions, we worked on Lab 6B, which is due on Tuesday.   I collected Unit 6 # 70 - 80.  Be sure to look at your progress on myed, the term is ending soon.

Chemistry 12:  Today we wrote the Solubility Unit Test after I collected the Practice Test.  Unit 4 # 1-10 are due on Tuesday.  Be sure to have at least one sour food item tonight, just to notice the taste of those Hydrogen ions, which we will often call protons.  ... proton covered candies... mmmm.  Be sure to look at your progress on myed, the term is ending soon.
