Hey Gang,

A few notes for this week:

• As you complete the test this week, please remember:
  • Do not round masses from the Periodic Table.
  • Be sure to use only the Periodic Table linked to the homework page.  DO NOT use the book periodic table.
  • You should not be using anything during the test except a calculator and the LINKED Periodic Table.
  • All formulas must be memorized.
• Continue working this week through the videos here.  These will be very helpful!
• Quiz Dec 4 on the Polyatomic Ions on p.288.
• Complete and bring the linked Atomic Structure handout to class to be collected Nov 20.
• The last day of the semester is December 4.  We will have a regular class that day, so please be present.

Enjoy your weekend!  jb

Parents and Students,

9:30a/9:45a classes are canceled at The Bridge today due to inclement weather and road closings.  All other classes will take place as scheduled.

My first class will simply follow the homework as outlined on the Assignment Sheet as usual.  Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! jb

When you have time Monday or Tuesday, watch this video (and any of the others along the left-hand side of the page) for a review of this week’s material.

Enjoy your weekend! Geaux Tigers! 🙂 jb

UNKNOWN 1=> BaCl2
UNKNOWN 2 => KNO3

Mark these as errors in your post lab if you missed them, and try to explain 🙂

Again, good work today!

A student found a typo on the test and called today… The question in #8 should read, “If the reaction in problem 7 was run with excess water…”

Thanks!  jb

Students-

I’m getting several questions today about this, so I thought I’d send this to everyone. For your Flame Test Prelab, write up the usual lab report in your lab notebook (sections I-IV) using the handout. Don’t copy the handout, put it in your own words.

Do you remember the Unit Conversion Lab? We did the same thing. Use the handout just as you would use an experiment written in the book. There are no changes to the format.

Thanks! JB

Hey Guys,

As you are finishing your handout from today, it might be helpful to have the answers to the remaining three problems. Here you go:

1- 2.88g
2- 5.5g
3- 7.12 g
4- 9.167 X 10^-3 g
5- 0.365g

The balancing on #5 is hard, so as always, call or email with questions! jb

Ok Gang,

Your new homework is posted.  Only 4 classes to go until Christmas Break!  Let’s finish strong.  Check your homework and call/email with questions.  Have a great week!  jb

Students-

You are on the downhill slope now… only 5 classes to go before Christmas Break!  Yay!  Keep working hard and finish well.

If you are having trouble with Stoichiometry, try watching this video (or any of them down the left-hand side of that page).  Also, work on the exercises on the left side of that page.  Please remember that you are welcome to stop by after class for extra help (or call/email). It usually only takes a minute or two for me to help with any questions.

Don’t forget to finish the calculations from today’s lab. Use the Solutions Manual (p.39) for help. This is part of your postlab grade.

New homework is posted.  I will see you next week! jb
