aromatic hydrocarbons
Lesson Outline
outline and discuss the following aromatic hydrocarbons. Aspartane, chlorobenzene, benzoic acid, aniline, phenol, and styrene. Discuss some common uses. Discuss ortho-meta-and para positions of additions to benzene. List and discuss 4-5 common properties of aromatic compounds. Outline that aromatics, like benzene do not undergo addition reactions, they undergo substitution reactions. Give examples of the 3 different types or substitutions

organic compounds
Lesson Outline
Discuss alkene isomers. Show structurally why alkene isomers will only begin with a minimum of 4 carbons. Exhibit, using 1-butene as the hydrocarbon, why there are 4 isomers when the formula's indicate a maximum of 3.
Write the chemical reactions which occur during addition reaction of halogens or halogen halides. Indicate why the concentration of halogen will determine the additions formula of the alkenes. Discuss hydrogenation with hydrogen as the reagent. Indicate why hydrogenated oils are solids and act like a preservative. Discuss the Markovnokov rule, and show examples.

Lesson Topic
Standard Reduction potential
Lesson Outline
Use the formula E(cell) = E (cathode) - E(anode). Determine that when the total is positive, the reaction is product favored. Use table 19.1 to demonstrate that the more positive the E total, the better the oxidizing ability. The more negative the value of reduction potential, the less likely the 1/2 reaction will occur.

Standard potential
Lesson Outline
Measurement depends on half cell and net reaction, the concentration of reactants and products, and the pressure and temperature of gaseous reactants. Determination of standard potential, Ecell, is performed under standard conditions. The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is the favored reaction. The reduction of hydrogen at the electrode and the oxidation of zinc at the anode are listed as half reactions. The potential energy of this reaction produces a reading of 0.76 volts as standard.

Lesson Topic
Voltaic cells
Lesson Outline
Demonstrate in the lab the electrolysis of water, which is the reverse of how a battery works. Electrolysis uses electricity to produce chemical energy. Introduce electromotive force, EMF, as the difference in potential energy of electrons at the electrodes. Define it as the force needed to move the electrons between the electrodes. Define the units as volts. Define what one volt as 1 joule/ coulomb.
