Chemical Reactions Test!

Chemical Reactions Test

                 This test was definitely a lot easier than the last test, mainly due to the fact that I was more awake and alert. The only questions I messed up on where the oxidation numbers and one of the solubility ones. I do feel that this test will help my grade a ton though! Hopefully when I go ever the test all my answers will be answered.

First Chemical Reactions Quiz!

First Chemical Reactions Quiz

This first chemical reactions quiz definitely could have gone better, but it never helps to know that you are being timed when taking a quiz! Most questions I got wrong where stupid mistakes I would've caught if I had taken my time :L. Regardless, only missing 3 questions on an 11 question quiz isn't horrible, especially I only count one of the questions as truly wrong, and I still don't know how to solve, better get that taken care of quick!

Double Replacement Lab!

Double Replacement Lab

In this lab, we tested about seven or so different reactants to see if they reacted with each other! Even though our group ran out of time, I still had lots of fun completing the lab! We have another lab coming up soon, where we will test lead and create our own re activity series based off it!

First lecture on Chemical Reactions!

Balancing Chemical Equations.

Balancing equations was tricky when I first learned it in Phys science, but now it seems a bit easier. All you have to do is make sure that all of the elements are balanced. Also don't forget those nasty diatomics!

Chemical Reactions Day 1

Chemical Reactions Day 1!

This unit so far is starting out good, definitely a better start than the disaster of the last unit. I plan to do a lot more studying and to get more study materials. I also hope to finally nail down those Poly atomic's once and for all! This useful website will help with those ever so tricky polys!
