AP Chem - Lab Data

The percent water in a hydrate lab did not go over well....the science must go on. Here is what the data should have looked like. Use it in your calculations to determine the number of waters in the formula for your hydrates.

Hydrate Data

General Chem - Acid/Base PROJECT

Remember to ALL GenChem classes...presentations begin tomorrow (Wednesday Nov. 2nd). Please either email me your projects ahead of time, share them on Google docs or bring a flash drive to make it easier to get started. Mac users...bring your laptop and stop up to see Mr. Charney for the correct adapter to hook up the projector BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS..

Also, for the group that has missed class time due to school related activities, your exam is still next week. There is a review packet that has been passed out. Stop in and get it early if you want to. Any material on the packet - and therefore the exam - that has not been covered in class can be found either on the PowerPoint, tutor websites or classroom textbook.

AP Chemistry - Lab Work

Friday's Lab - Percent Water in a Hydrate is available to preview/download. Find it under the AP- Lab Work tab.

General Chem - Acid/Base PROJECT

Here is a link for our Unit 2 project we will be doing next week. It involves YOU designing, collecting data, and analyzing results for an experiment focused on neutralization reactions. Instead of a written lab report, a presentation will be given in-class. There is a rubric attached that describes in detail point values assigned for this project. Get the Unit 2 Project HERE.

General Chem - Study Resources

New posts have been added under the General Chem - Study Resources tab. They include help with predicting products and balancing equations.

Acid/Base Lab - WEDNESDAY OCT. 5th

The lab handout for TOMORROW is located in the General Chemistry - lab work tab above. Read it. I would google image search some of the equipment to have an idea of what it looks like (i.e. 24-well plate). I will attach a color copy of the universal indicator/pH ranges tomorrow. Check out Universal Indicator on the image search as well. Remember I will have ONE COPY PER GROUP of the lab handout printed out for you tomorrow.

General Chemistry - QUIZ TOMORROW - UPDATE

I am feeling generous...therefore if you bring in a copy of the paper that lists the Ions, Charges and Elements to class tomorrow you may use it for the quiz. This is ONLY for this specific ionic compound quiz and will never ever ever happen again...

However, if you choose to attempt to study and learn the material the way I expect you to and NOT use the paper, I will be impressed.

Your Choice.

General Chem - Practice with Naming - Everything

There are multiple documents under the General Chemistry - Study Resources tab. If you need the practice.....

AP Chemistry - FPD lab Tuesday January 25th

Here is the lab hand-out for the FPD lab.  We will run it pretty much the way it is on the hand-out.  We may change up the solvent and/or solute.

History of the Atomic Theory Timeline Presentation

The week of February 14-16 students in General Chemistry will be presenting the history of the atomic theory.  Individual projects will be given in chronological order so the entire class will have an understanding of how we have come to the current model of the atom.  Click on the link here to get the assignment details.

Due to the necessity of presenting in chronological order, penalties for late work will be severe.  Late work will suffer a minimum drop in letter grade per day.
