Lab Day 2

Today we finished the Copper (II) Chloride lab. My partner and I determined that our iron that was used had a 3+ charge. The lab was fun and very helpful in practicing our stoichiometry skills and actually applying them to a real problem that we collected data for.

Exam Thoughts

I thought the exam was okay, but I think I could have prepared for it more. Next time I am going to do the problems in the book, all the practice test and watch videos on the topic. Hopefully next semester will go better!

Exam Moved to Tomorrow!

Thank you to Mrs. Frankenberg for moving the exam to tomorrow. The exam will be over everything we have learned in chapter 9, here are some links to help study for the test!

Copper (II) Chloride Lab

Last week we spent two days in lab. The first day my partner and I placed an iron nail in a jar of Copper (II) Chloride and water and let it sit over night. The next day we removed the nail and cleaned off the copper with hydrochloric acid and distilled water. It was cool to see all the copper that was left in the jar after cleaning it.

Combustion Reactions

In  combustion reaction a hydrocarbon combusts and it always produces carbon dioxide and water. Also in order for this reaction to take place oxygen has to be present. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sgHDzTH_GyU/maxresdefault.jpgbe

Unit Exam

Today we had our unit exam. I believe that the exam was somewhat easy, however a few of the questions were difficult. I hope that i did well on this exam!

Solubility Rules Lab

Today in class we performed a solubility rules lab. The lab was used to determine whether certain chemicals would react or not. When the reactions did occur they would create a solid or color change.

Finally Took My Quiz

After being absent the days before Thanksgiving I finally made up my quiz. I don't believe it was too difficult. The hardest part for me was correctly balancing all of the equations and getting the correct sum of coefficients.

Metals Lab

Yesterday we did a lab in class to test the reactivity of certain metals. The most reaction metal was calcium, it reacted with all of the chemicals it was placed with.
