Qualitative Analysis and Final Exam Unit 8

For the last few weeks of school we will be working on lab qualitative analysis of unknown solutions. This is one half of your final exam in Chemistry.   This extended lab will summarize many of the reaction types we have studied this year and will increase student analytical skills.

The paper final exam will be comprehensive.  Students should review all notes from the year, study chapter reviews, use the blog resources and videos and complete a practice exam during the last days before the final exam.

Stoichiometry Unit 4

This unit is on Stoichiometry (measuring elements).  You will be studying chemical formulas, reactions, equations and the mole concept. There will also be some work done learning mass and gaseous volume relationships; the ideal gas equation. Chapter 8 complete questions 1 to 35 odd.  Chapter 9 complete questions 1 to 29 odd.  There are many online videos that can help you learn stoichiometry.  Outside of what we learn in class, I suggest using Khan academy or DeWitt to 'pick it up the first time' and reviewing with the IB style Thornley videos or CrashCourse... see links below.  Continue to work on memorizing ions from the previous unit if you have not learned them all yet. You will use them throughout the rest of the year. If you have a difficult time with math plan on spending more time on this unit. Get help early if you need it.  Keep memorizing ions!  Test 

 In addition to study of the text and your class notes you should consider the internet, especially YouTube chemistry channels, an essential part of learning chemistry well.  WATCH THE VIDEOS... you will build important concepts...

ABOUT CHEMISTRY...
You need to know HOW TO STUDY CHEMISTRY.  This course can quickly become difficult if you do not have study skills and do not PRACTICE study skills.  Read page 904 to 907 in the text book on study skills, it has some quite useful advice.  The most useful is to read and problem solve ahead of class.  
Students who are not prepared in math skills are the students who struggle the most and have to spend the most time on chemistry.  If you are not concurrently enrolled in algebra 3-4 or above you may not really have the prerequisite math ability for chemistry.  Students in geometry will need to spend more time on parts of chemistry, especially in the second semester to keep up.  If you have questions about your ability to do math and chemistry please talk to me right away.

Please read the syllabus and put the important websites from this link into your notes.  In addition to study of the text and your class notes you should consider the internet, especially YouTube chemistry channels, an essential part of learning chemistry well.  WATCH THE VIDEOS... you will slowly build important concepts...
