Jennie to scribe for Thursday
Monday, May 28, 2007
the topic for the day is about Acid and Base Dissociation Constant.
Acid Dissociation Constant:
- strong acids/base dissociate completely :. do not establish equilibrium
- if Ka > 1 = strong acid
- weak acids/base - establish equilibrium
- The equilibrium law: Ka= [H3O+][A-] / [HA]
-the Ka reflects the equilibrium that exists for as acid
Kb=[B+][OH-] / [BOH]
-the larger the Ka/Kb, the stronger the acid/base.
-the smaller the Ka/Kb, the weaker the acid/base.
that's about it.
note: June 1, due date of research project
: )

Scribe Post.
1.If they have more than one Hydrogen, there will be more ionization equations.
2.The Ka decreased as you go down the list
3.HCO3- is weaker because its Ka is smaller than H2PO4-.
4. phosphorous <-> H+ + H2PO3-, phosphorous - 1H <-> H + HPO3, phosphorous - 2H <-> H + PO3.
5.
a) Ka=[H][HCl]/[H2CO3]
b) Ka=[H+][HCOO-]/[HCOOH]
6. because it's a 1 to 1 ratio.
also we are to do questions 6 to 15 by tomorrow.
next scribe is "romina".

SOLUBILITY & COMMON IONS!
Today class we went over the rest of the Chemical Equilibrium booklet that Ms. K handed out last weeek, started from page 3. We did the examples 4 and 5 for "Solubility" and examples 1, 2, and 3 for "Common Ions"! So for those who weren't in class, Ms. K had posted the steps of the solutions in the slide show below. It's pretty much about finding the Ksp and the concentrations of each ion, but in different cases, where we might have initial concentration for one of the ion. And if you have any questions, or dont understand the steps, please ask Ms. K?!?! Other than that, the test has moved to Tuesday, which is yay for those who are lazy to study in the weekend! And that's about it. Homework will be Assignment # 3, question from 1-3!
And the next scribe will be keith!!

[+] Corrected Chapter 19 Worksheet
[+] Chemical Kinetics Test was given back
[+] Worksheet on Concentration vs. Time Graph
was handed out
[+] Chapter 18 Chemical Equilibrium
Worksheet was given to work on
We didn't really do much lesson today, but the
Concentration vs. Time Graph was explained.
* However, here are some things that we should remember!
- When the system is initially at equilibrium & a stress is added, after an instantaneous change, the system will allow to reestablish equilibrium.
- When reaction is at equilibrium, the concentration of both reactant and product are constant.
- When more reactant is added, the concentration of the reactant increases immediately. As the reactant is consumed in the reaction, its concentration decreases to a constant value. Therefore, more product is formed and the concentration of the product increases to a new constant value, which reestablish a new equilibrium position.
- When a reactant is removed, the concentration of the reactant decreases immediately. As more reactant is being produced its concentration increases to a new constant value. Therefore, the product can no longer be form at the same rate, so the concentration of the product decreases to a new constant value, which reestablish a new equilibrium position.
- Also remember that when adding a catalyst, it does not speed up the reaction, but stays unchanged.
Tomorrow's scribe is Sean.

Disrupting Equilibrium Systems
Crystal is the scribe for tomorrow
THURSDAY'S SCRIBE
Necessities Include;
- must be a closed system
- applies only to a gas and aqueous reactions
- reversible
- dynamic
- rates are equal
That same day, we received a handout on Le Chatelier's Principle. remember he stated that "WHEN A SYSTEM IS SUBJECTED TO STRESS, THE SYSTEM WILL ADJUST SO AS TO RELIEVE THE STRESS." Also, there were various "rules" to follow to figure out if the product or reactant was favoured. Some factors included changing concentration, pressure changes and temperature changes. Don't forget what we were reminded several times, "TEMPERATURE IS THE ONLY FACTOR WHICH WILL CHANGE THE VALUE OF KC" Also, something tricky, adding a catalyst to a system, lowers the activation energy of both the forward and reverse reaction equally thus it will not effect the equilibrium position. Although, if it wasn't at equilibrium the catalyst would make the system reach equilibrium much faster.

Chemistry
Change in concentrations example:
A + B <--> C
- if you add more A, the equilibrium shifts to the right producing more C
- if you add more B, the equilibrium shifts to the right producing more C
- if you add more C, the equilibrium shifts to the left producing more A & B
Change in pressure
A + B <--> C
- an increase in pressure will cause a shift to the right, producing more C (product)
Change in temperature
A + B <--> C
- the shift caused by a change in temperature depends whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic
- increasing the temperature will cause a shift to the left using the excess heat and an increase in forward reaction would produce even more heat because it is exothermic reaction.
Thus conclude me scribe post aaaaaaaarrrrrrr....
have you guys seen a blue folder with killer whales? waaaaahhh please give it to me if you find it because all my chem. stuff are in there waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh......KEER i choose you to be the next scribe

Ms K handed our 4 & 5 questions back and we went over them since some had trouble...(me). haha. k yeea anyways. The steps are on the previous blog Ms K had posted up for us.
We then went over the homework assigned yesterday in the yellow booklet questions 1-6. So if you weren't able to keep up or you either didn't do them. I think you should go over the slide and copy BUT understand what is going on as well :))
Another thing we did today was something new. whoo hoo!
Reaction Quotient = Q or we know it as TRIAL Kc
reaction quotient helps us figure out whether or not the reaction is favoured (forward or reversed) in order for equilibrium to happen.
Previous slide will help you understand a lil more on what is favoured between Q and K.
There is also an example in the white booklet which will also help you understand this concept of Reaction Quotient. It's quite easy once you read over and do the work assigned
BTW: there's homework :) YAY! Lesson 3 Homework Assignment 6-10.
next scribe i will choose will be...ROMINA

An Analogy for Equilibrium Reaction
In order to find our objective, we used materials such as two 25ml graduated cylinders, colored water, and two different diameter drinking straws. We filled the first beaker with 25ml of water and left the other one empty and proceeded to transfer waters to and from each cylinder using their designated straws until we established an equilibrium. We added 5ml to the first beaker, then repeated the experiment.
We plotted the values on a chart which we then graphed.

Last topic in Kinetics
Rate law
It is an expression which relates the rate of a reaction to the concentration of the reactants.It helps us to calculate the rate of a reaction with the given concentrations of reactants.
A--->products
Rate=-ΔA/Δt
*rate of consumption a is directly proportional to its concentration,the faster a is consumed the lower its concentration.
formula: Rate=k[A]x
where in:
k is the constant of proportionality
A is the concentration of A
x is the power,called the order of the reaction
*rate constant can only be determined experimentally
*the rate constant is specific for each reaction at a specific temperature,since its value depends upon the size, speed and types of molecules in the reaction
*TEMPERATURE is the only factor that affects the rate constant
REACTION ORDER
The order of reaction indicates how concentration of reactants affects the rate of reaction.
In a first order reaction, if the concentration of A were doubled, the rate would be doubled.If the concentration were tripled,the rate would be tripled.
Ex.
rate= k[A]2[B]3 then the overall order is 5
CALCULATING RATE ORDERS
The rate law can only be determined experimentally.Even the rate of formation of the products and the rate of consumption of reactants is related to their stoichiometry,the law cannot usually be determined from the molar coefficent.
RATE LAW AND STOICHIOMETRY
(base it on your copy,not that hard eniweys)
RATE LAW AND REACTION MECHANISM
(even this one we did this one already)
***Reminder: We will be having our test on wednesday and don't forget to answer the review sheet ok??!!!.

Kinetics Assignment #4
Ms. K was not around and we have a substitute, Ms. McQueen. We just went over the Kinetics assignment # 4 and she gave us some hand outs on RATE LAW.
So for those who missed class and wasn't able to get the answer to the Kinetics assignment #4, here you go:
1. 2H2O2 ----> 2H2O + O2
2. (a) 2P + Q + S ----> R + T + W
(b) Slow
(c) Both P & Q are present in the rate limiting step and since S is not in the rate limiting step it does not affect the rate of of the net reaction. Only the reactants in the rate-
limiting step will significantly affect the rate of the reaction.
3. (a) The RDS is step 1 : C6H6 + NO2+ ----> C6H6NO2+
Because it's the slow reaction.
(b) C6H6 + NO2+ ----> C6H6NO2+ + H+
(c) H2SO4 is introduced in step 2 and is unchanged at the end of the reaction. H2SO4 is most likely a catalyst sine it speeds up the reaction but is unchanged at the end of the reaction
(d)
Step 1 Ea 1 Increase (longest)
Step 2 Ea 2 Decrease (smallest)
Step 3 Ea (small)
4. (a) The rate Increase
(b) p + 3Q ----> Z + Y
(c) The RDS is Step 2: A + 2Q ----> X + Y because it has the lowest rate of reaction.
so thats about it. see you all monday.....

Collision Theory and Reaction Mechanism
What we did in class this morning is that Ms. K helped us to answer all the questions on the sheets the she gave to us. about potential energy diagrams and factors affecting rate. Just look at the slideshow for the answers that you didnt get..
*It sticks to my mind that the addition of CATALYST increase the rate and the activation energy become lower, like what happened to the experiment of ms. K last wednesday.
Then, she gave a new sheet about Collision and Reaction Mechanism and its glad that she explained it very clear... Like theres some new terms that we need to remember, like the
->BIMOLECULAR it means that its a combining of two particles.
->SIMPLE REACTION is the reaction which place in one elementary step.
->COMPLEX REACTION is the reaction which take place in more than one step..
Hint: all Complex Reaction contain at least one reaction intermediate.
->REACTION INTERMEDIATES products of one reaction that immediately become reactants in another reaction.
->MECHANISM is the steps in which a reaction occurs.
->RDS or RATE DETERMINING STEP the step with the slowest rate.
Ms. K also left us an assignment, just to remind you guys its assignment #4.
I didnt wrote too much because all the details is in the slideshow, just look at it.
Thenkzz...

Exothermic Reaction - In an exothermic reaction, the products possess less energy than the reactants. Also, during an exothermic reaction, heat is lost from the system and the change in heat is a negative value.
Endothermic Reaction - In an endothermic reaction, the product possess more potential energy than the reactants. This energy is absorbed from the surroundings, which increases the systems energy content. Which leads us to having a positive number when changing of heat.
Okay, now for the assignments. Just last week, we were given a yellow booklet which consisted of Kinetic Assignments 1 through 5. We were given a few minutes in class to complete assignment 2 numbers 1-3. Afterwards, we went over them.
Answers to Kinetics Assignment #2
1a. Activation Energy: 25kJ
b. Hproduct - Hreactant
35kJ - 20 kJ = +15kJ
c. This is an endothermic reaction
2a. Activation Energy: -150kJ
b. 25kJ - 100kJ = -75kJ
c. This is an exothermic reaction
d. Reverse reaction: 250kJ - 25kJ = +225kJ
3a. Activation Energy: 10kJ
b. 15kJ - 35kJ = -20kJ
c. This is an exothermic reaction
d. Reverse reaction: 45kJ - 15 kJ = +30kJ
Thats pretty much all we've done so far in the booklet.
Kay, so she also gave us a hand out of reaction rates. So just work on it.
Other then that, if you haven't completed the Kinetics Assignment (graphing) given out yesterday in class, please have it done as soon as possible.
Okay, so that's all for now. The next blogger will be yhO-eE

the answers for the yellow booklet assignment are:
1.a) -2.6 g/min
b)-2 g/min
2.a)-0.000013 mol/Ls
b)-0.00006 mol/Ls
c)since it's 1:1 ratio it's the same for both of them, which is 0.10 mol/Ls for CO & CH4
3.a){basically you take the mass of beaker and contents which is given and subtract it from the first one, that's why the first square would be 0.00 and so on....}
b)0.248 g/min

On Tuesday we spent time going over the work sheets, or test review- and here are the answers.
Section 6.3
1. Atomic radii cannot be measured directly because the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus does not have a clearly defined
c. Outer edge
2. Which diagram best represents the group and period trends in atomic radii in the periodic table?
c. diagram c
3. The general trend in the radius of an atom moving down a group is partially accounted for by the
d. Shielding of the outer electrons by inner electrons.
4. A------ is an atom, or bonded group of atoms, that has a positive or negative charge.
b. Ion
5. An atom becomes negatively charged by
a. Gaining an electron
6. Which diagram best represents the relationship between the diameter of a sodium atom and the diameter of a positive sodium ion?
a. Diagram a
7. What is ionization energy?
Energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous form
8. Explain why an atom with a high ionization-energy value is not likely to form a positive ion?
A high ionization-energy value indicates that the atom has a strong hold on it’s electron and is not likely to lost an outer electron and form a positive ion
9. What is the period trend in the first ionization energies? Why?
The 1st ionization energies generally increases as you move left to right across a period. The increased nuclear change of each successive element produces and increased hold on the valence electrons.
10. What is the group trend in the first ionization energies? Why?
The 1st ionization energies generally decrease as you move down a group because atomic size increases down a graph, the valence electrons are far then from the nucleus and there for less strongly attached to the nucleus as a result, less energy is required to remove the valence electron.
11. State the Octet rule.
Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electron to a quire a full set of eight valence electron.
12. What does the electro negativity of an element indicate?
Its atom’s ability to attract electron in a chemical bond

Surprise, Surprise, Missing Scribe
Well Tuesday was a fairly straightforward day.... I woke up in the morning... Panicked because I had a math test... Found out I did miserable on another math test... Then... Ohh Chemistry..
Well On Tuesday. WE HAD A SUB!!! (I scribe on sub days) <--- Hahaha
Mr. Bennet was his name I think.. He pretty much talked the entire period on the review sheets that we did.. It was like another day in wonderland.. Hah. We finished the Chapter 5 review. Then we went over the Chapter 6 review and then the Chapter 9 review. We went over every question and eventually were let out by the end of class for lunch =)
ON WEDNESDAY!!!
We had a Test.. (And another sub) What fun.. Well to be honest it was pretty straight forward on what we learned this unit. Nothing really surprising. Can't really spoil anything.. sigh..
Tomorrow we start CHEMICAL KINETICS.. Cant wait!!! ( I HOPE YOUR THERE MRS. K)
BTW... SECOND FUNCTION ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!! <--- Had to say that =)

My notes of atomic structure
i'm very impressive by the ways you taught the electrons configuration through music which's incretible exprience ihave never heard before. what i'm interested to know is that
Electrons configurations
1. show electrons in an element and their energy level and sublevel.
For example Nitrogen (atomic number 7)
1s2 2s2 2p3 the main principle of aufbau in electrons configuration is to fill with the lowest energy state. In order to represent an atom's electron configuration you should consider two convenient methods. one method is known as an orbital diagram. It includes a box for each of the atom's orbitals.An empty box represents an unoccupied orbital, a box containing a single up arrow represents an orbital with one electron, and a box containing both up and down arrows represents a filled orbital.
Reminder: Test on Atomic Structure is Tuesday, March 20.
Reminder: Finish activity sheet-Ch.5 Study Guide for tomorrow
The next scribe will be Sean
Orbital Diagrams/Electron Configurations
we looked at something new about how to do electron configuration, the arrangement of electrons. we looked at the three principles, aufbau principle, Hund's rule and Pauli exclusion principle. Check the handouts for more information on this topic.

Atomic Structure
Note: the atomic emission spectrum of an element is the set of frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the element. it is different from visible spectrum because visible spectrum is a continuous range of colours while in atomic emission spectrum consists of several individual lines of colour.Each element's atomic emission spectrum is unique and can be used to determine if that element is part of an unknown compound.
at the beginning of class, we looked at the atomic emission spectrum of the noble gasses. I was having trouble seeing the spectrum and only saw few of them...
starting from left to right...
for hydrogen, I saw red, blue and purple
Argon = red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple
Iodine = red yellow green
Helium = red, orange, yellow, green
for the last two elements we did........i didn't saw any spectrum......hope you got 'em ^_^
after that "mini-light" show, we corrected our homework that was given out last Friday "Atomic Structure Assignment 1"
here are the questions and answers (front side)
1. define the terms wavelenght and frequency.
- wavelenght is the distance between two crest - frequency is the number of cycles that pass a point in 1 second.
2. arrange the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wave lenght: Ultraviolet waves, microwaves, radio waves and X rays.
- X rays, Ultraviolet waves, microwaves and radio waves
3. state which type of electromagnetic energy--ultraviolet light or infrared light--has the a) shorter wave lenght b) higher frequency c) lower energy
- a) ultraviolet light b) ultraviolet light c) infrared light
4. describe the difference between a continuous spectrum and a line spectrum.
- continuous spectrum is a pattern of colours - line spectrum is a pattern of single line
5. hydrogen's emission spectrum has 4 lines on it. what does each line represent?
- it represent an electron falling 1 energy level to the next energy level
6. what is a line spectrum and how is it produced?
- line spectrum = pattern of single line, produced when light consists of only a few distinct wavelengths pass through a spectroscope
7. describe how spectroscopy can be used to identify a gas.
- used to identify ions in a solution, specific ions give off a characteristic colour by passing the light from flam tests.
8. write a paragraph that explains the chemistry behind a fireworks display, include the ground state, excited state, Bohr model of atom, flame test.
- DUE THIS WEDNESDAY!!
(back side)
2. which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the atomic emission spectra show?
- the visible spectrum
3. would the atomic emission spectrum for each sample change if you repeated the procedure?
- No, because each element has its own atomic emission spectrum and all elements has different spectrum
4. what does each line in an atomic emission spectrum represent?
- it represent the energy of electrons
I choose you....................ALLEN to be the next scribe!

MIssing: Blog for March 06, 2007
But you know what they say, "It's better late than never."
So, just a recap on March 06, 2007:
The "Oxidation-Reduction Compare and Contrast Frame" sheet and the "Redox Reactions" sheet were corrected and handed back.
Here are the corrections:
"Oxidation-Reduction Compare and Contrast Frame"
Oxidation
Historical Definition:
Any reaction that involved a reactant combining with oxygen was an oxidation reaction.
Example:
Burning substances - oxygen present.
Rusting / Corrosion - oxygen reacts with metal.
Present Definition:
A process by which a substance had given up their electrons.
Example:
Al(s) --------> Al3+(aq) + 3e-
Mnemonic Device:
O - Oxidation
I - Is
L - Losing
or
L - Losing
E - Electrons
O - Oxidation
When Balancing a Redox Reaction:
One substance is oxidized and it is also the reducing agent.
Its oxidation number increases.
Reduction
Historical Definition:
When oxygen is removed by a compound to produce a metal.
Example:
2Fe2O3(s) + 3C(s) ------> 4Fe(s) + 3CO2(g)
Present Definition:
A process in which a substance gains electrons.
Example:
Al3+(aq)+ 3e--------> Al(s)
Mnemonic Device:
R - Reduction
I - Is

When Balancing a Redox Reaction:
One substance is reducedand it is also the oxidizing agent.
It's oxidation number decreases.
"Redox Reactions"
1. Redox reactions are characterized by: d. transfer of electrons.
2. If a calcium atom loses two electron, it becomes: c. oxidized.
3. In a redox reaction, an oxidizing agent is: d. reduced.
4. An oxidation reaction occurs: a. at the same time a reduction reaction occurs.
5. Consider the equation Ca(s) + O2(g) ------> 2CaO(s). In this reaction, calcium is oxidized because it: c. loses electrons.
6. The number of electron lost by an element when it forms ions is the element's: b. oxidation number.
7. A loss of electrons is: a. oxidation.
8. Redox reactions can involve: d. ions, molecules, or uncharged atoms.
9. - 15. Redox Reactions
Equation:

FINALLY!
Ms. Kozoriz had written down steps on "Balancing Redox"
1. Assign oxidation numbers to each element.
2. Identify and write oxidation half reaction and reduction half reaction.
3. Balance in terms of electron numbers and atoms.
4. Add H2O and H to balance acidic reaction.
5. Do a change check for both half reactions.
6. Multiply through so electron number is the same in the reduction and oxidation half reaction.
7. Add both half reactions cancelling electrons and any other substances.
8. Do a final change check!

The test was handed back on Friday. We also started the Atomic Structure Unit; worksheets were handed-out.
Electromagnetic Energy - Light Energy
Light Energy is a form of energy that is transferred by radiation and is thought to move in the forms of waves.
Frequency - cycles per unit in time. (eg. in lightwave - the # of cycles pass a point in one second)
Wavelength is the distance between the crest or troughs. The wavelength of visible light is mostly measured in nanometres.
___________________________________________
Line Spectrum is a spectrum in which energy is concentrated at particular wavelengths; produced by excited atoms and ions as they fall back to a lower energy level.
Continuous Spectrum is when all the wavelengths of lights are represented. Line Spectrum on the other hand, is a distinct of coloured lines rather than a rainbow. In an element, the line spectrum is unique in each ones; no two elements have the same atomic emission spectrum. It's like a fingerprint.

I hope these helped you with the Assignment. =)

Oh yeah. Next Scribe will be Ruschev.

20. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Worksheet
Today we went over the oxidation-reduction worksheet which she handed out yesterday for homework. We did these questions on the white board and Ms.K did some on the smart board.
annnnnd tomorrow is our "brief" test...so study, study, study! thats all no notes just the worksheet.

Missing Scribe For Friday March 2 (sorry)
Firstly, find the oxidation numbers, but remembering to use the "Rules for Determining Oxidation Numbers."
Lets use Ag2S + Al -> Al2S3 + Ag
Ag: is reduced because it is gaining one electron. +1 to 0 (more negative number)
S: remains the same, so it isn't oxidized.
Al: is oxidized because it is losing three electrons. 0 to +3 (more positive number)
Multiply the subscripts with the number of electrons lost or gained.
Therefore:
Ag2S: 2(because you have two Ag atoms) X 1 electron (number of electrons that was gained)
Al: 1(because you only have one Al atom) X 3 electrons (number of electrons that was lost)
Now we have to balance. So that we have the same number of electorns gained and lost. We find their lowest common multiple...Hm...2 and 3, 6 goes into both, so lets multiply both to get 6:
Ag2S: 2 electrons X 3 = 6
S: 3 electrons X 2 = 6
Use what you multipled there as your coeffcients: so 3 for Ag2S and 2 for S:
3Ag2S + 2Al -> Al2S3 + Ag
Note: Check both sides are balanced, you may need to balance the rest of the equation. For this case, since you have 6Ag on the reactant side, then you need a 6 in front of the Ag in the end product side. That is all.
Therefore, your answer should be:
3Ag2S + 2Al -> Al2S3 + 6Ag

Scribe - feb 28
here's an example:
FeBr2 + Br2 ----> FeBr3
Fe+2Br-12 + Br02 ----> Fe+3Br-1 3 ' identifying the oxidation numbers
Fe loses one electron therefore it is oxidized
Br gains one electron therefore being reduced
FeBr is the reducing agent
Br2 is the oxidizing agent
Tip:
if one has gained an electron then it's reduced
if one has lossed an electron then it is oxidized
an agent is found on the left side of the arrow ( ----> )
remember that our test tube mystery lab is due on monday

Feb23: Oxidation and Reduction
previously we learned that there are 5 type of reactions but on friday we learned that there are only two different families of chemical reactions:
1-those that don't have exchange of electrons-->non-redox reactions
2-those that do have exchange of electrons-->redox reactions
*when a substance lost/gave up its electrons it's an oxidation reaction:
Al(s) --> Al3+ + 3 electrons
*when a substance gains electrons it's called a reduction reaction:
Al3+ + 3 electrons --> Al(s)
to remember those key points we could use:
Oxidation
Is
Losing
Reduction
Is
Gaining
(OIL RIG)
or:
Losing
Electrons
Oxidation
Gaining
Electrons
Reduction
(Leo Ger)
also an important point is that Oxidation and reduction always occur at the same time, so that the number of electrons gained in a reaction is always equal to the electrons lost.
:. to keep track of the loss and gain of electrons in a reaction we use Oxidation States(imaginary charge an atom would have if both the electrons in an electron pain belonged to the most electronegative element of that pair)
Oxidation numbers are positive and negative numbers that are related to an atom's oxidation state.
the most important part of the lesson was knowing the 9 rules applying to the concept.
DUH RULES:
1-The oxidation number of an atom in an uncombined element is zero.
ex. O2
2-the SUM of the oxidation numbers of the elements in any neutral molecule is zero.
ex. MgCl2
+2 + (-1 x 2)= 0
3-the sum of the oxidation numbers of the elements in any ion is equal to the charge on the ion.
ex. NO3-1
+5 + (-2 x 3) = -1
4-in compounds the oxidation number of many elements corresponds to their position on the periodic table.
a)elements in Group 1A are always {+1}
ex. H , Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
b)the alkaline earth metals are always {+2}
ex. Be , Mg, Ca, Sr, Br, Ra
c)aluminum is always {+3} and zinc is always {+2}
d)halogens are almost always {-1}
ex. F , Cl, Br, I, At
e)Hydrogen always has an oxidation number of {+1} when it's combined with non metals.
ex. HCl
f)oxygen has an oxidation number of {-2} in most compounds (exception:in peroxides where it is -1, ex. H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
ex. SO2 S is +4 and O is -2
i guess that's all!
i think we have a scribe for today, so i won't pick.

Test Results...
Well im scribe today!!i hate doing This...ahh....well um Ms. K gave the test results awhile ago and it was 38 marks but at least i got a good mark...well um the question that most of us got the wrong answer was question number 8. and the question was ...You have two solutions.One is Green and the other is pink.When you mix the solutions together,a precipitate forms.the remaining solution is pink.Suggest two compounds that could give you these results.
And the answer for this question was
NiCl2 + Mn(OH)2 -----Ni(OH)2(s) + MnCl2
in which Nickel hyrdoxide gives you a precipitate and Manganese Chloride gives you the pink solution
And on Monday and Tuesday we will be doing some test about identifying compounds
and we will be observing and doing some stuff like...
1.Colour of the solutions(don't forget to put some o)
2.Odour(again)-waft vapours to your nose,don't smell it directly
3.flame test on tuesday
4. solubility of ions-ppt. forms
hydroxides-white ppt.
5.Litmus paper-if blue to red then it is acid and if it is red to blue,it is base
*reminder:don't contaminate your solutions and use only one pippette in each solutions..
keikei
the next scribe will be Jess

Neutralization, Titration, and Concentration
Actually, I'm a lil' bit confused about the formula that Ms. K gave to us...
Well, Before we continue our Titration Lab from yesterday, Ms. K. explained and gave some examples for us about Neutralization,Titration, and Concentration. She gave us a sheet that is really helpful, because it has a lot of information and this sheet explained the step by step...
Here's the notes that i've got...
Step #1: Balance equation: H2so4(aq) + Na OH(aq) -> Na2 SO4 + H2O
= H2SO4 + 2Na OH(aq) -> Na2 SO4 + 2H2O
Step #2: The formula is: n=CxV
0.0054mol H2SO4 x 2 mol NaOH Then, cancel both sulfuric acid, then do the calculation.
1 mol H2SO4
Step #3: The formula is C=n/V
0.0108 mol = C= 0.360 mol/L
0.0300L
After Ms.K. explained about this, she let us continue our Titration Lab. and reminded us about our TEST tomorrow....
So folks.... Don't forget about the First TEST tomorrow!!!
Good Luck to all of us!!!
I think it's phoebes3' s turn!!! Good daY!!!
