Synthesis & Decomposition

Synthesis and Decomposition

I learned about synthesis and decomposition through chemical reactions. The part where we had to write out the equation has stood out the most as it requires a lot of thought and precision. I actually enjoyed learning this standard as it was quite easy to comprehend. I did not get confused during this standard. And I look forward to after Thanksgiving when we may select and work in our own groups.

 

Acids, Bases, & pH

~~~~~~Acids, Bases, & pH~~~~~~

 In this section I learned about acids, bases, and pH. I learned about the variation of pH, how low an acid is and how high a base is.

I learned the difference between pOH and pH. H+ is a proton and a lot of these go into an acid. OH- is lame, but a lot of these make up a base. Also, titration is essential in neutralizing an acid of base so we don't kill fishies!!
Some labs and stations were challenging while some were very fun and educational. I look forward to after Thanksgiving so I may work with the "Dream-Team"

Ideal Gas Laws

11. [Gases]

I learned about ideal gas laws and how temperature, pressure, and volume relate. The formula "PV=nRT"

stood out as I quickly learned about it and was able to utilize it. I wasn't completely confused on anything specifically. It is mostly straight forward and easy to understand. The coolest part was seeing Mr. Schouweiler do his magic again by crushing a can by simply pouring out hot water.

That is what I have learned -->
