The night before the unit test

I feel really good about this test. I have studied a lot by studying in a group, by going over notes, by doing online worksheets, watching videos, and doing the stoichiometry section in my final review guide. After going over my quiz it seems like I only made little mistakes but actually had a decent understanding over all of these concepts. Also I think that after doing the lab in class I feel more confident in my ability to do percent yield.

Getting our Quiz Back

After learning my grade I felt like I was hopeless for this unit. I thought that I had a good understanding of the concept but once receiving my grade back it showed that I had not had as good of an understanding that I had thought. But once actually getting our quiz back I had noticed that it wasn't that I had done the math section wrong but had instead either wrote out the equations wrong or balanced them wrong. If it wasn't for this I probably could have gotten a decent grade. Before our unit test I need to make sure I am confident on my skills of writing an equation and balancing it.

Lab day 1 and 2

In this lab we added Copper (II) Chloride and water to a baby food jar. Then after we stirred the solution we placed a nail into it. After placing the nail into the solution we left it for one day. Then when we came back the next day we had to siphon off the Iron (II) Chloride leaving all the copper in the baby jar. After doing this we had to wash off the copper. Finally we have to let it dry for 1 to 2 days. I thought this was a pretty cool lab and the pre lab quiz was fairly simple because it was a question based off stoichiometry. Here are some pictures from are lab.

Stoichiometry

Google defines Stoichiometry as, "the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers." From what we have learned in class it seems like a pretty simple concept. In some of our simpler problems we were given a specific amount of a substance and had to see how many grams of our product would be produced. In other problems we would have to find how much of a reactant we would need to make a specific amount of product. Here are a couple of examples

Studying all night

Today we had our unit test for chemical reactions. I was very worried that I wouldn't do good because the last test I took I didn't understand much of it. For this test I went above and beyond to study: I studied with friends, I did all the study guides, I read the chapters in the textbook, I watched a bunch of videos, and I found some more websites that helped me. I believe this studying paid off because I was able to understand most of the test. I also believe that because the test had less math it was easier to finish on time.

Reactivity Series Lab

For this unit we did a chemical reaction lab that focused on reactivity series. During this lab we combined different compounds to see if a reaction would happen then based on those reactions we were able to create are own reactivity series. I believe that this lab really helped me understand this concept. Then when we did the post lab problems I was very confused at first but then when I started getting a hang of it I was really able to understand reactivity series.
