In today's class, we finished our discussion on balancing and calculating nuclear equations. Andrew was able to do some practice problems and did very well answering the questions.
Show the ionization of 4-5 common acids
Elicit what is common amongst them all
Define Arrhenius acids as compounds which will ionize in water to form hydrogen ions.
In today's class, we discussed balancing nuclear equations and predicting the product of nuclear reactions. This involves discussing the different types of decay and how to use them in a nuclear equation. Andrew did very well with the new challenging information.
List and discuss physical properties attributed to acids. These would include taste, tartness, reaction with metals and with non metal carbonates. Also include conductivity and burning of living tissue.
List and discuss some chemical properties of common acids.
Discuss equilibrium which occurs in a chemical reaction.
Using a simple synthesis equation to form methane gas, write the equation, balance the equation, indicate the concentrations of each compound in the equation at equilibrium.
From the concentrations, write the equilibrium constant and solve.
Discuss what the answer, 3.93, indicates.
Show how to increase this number by stressing the product side of the reaction, which will cause the reactants to react to produce more product.
State LeChateliers principle
In today's class, Andrew learned about radioactive decay and its effects on the nucleus. Andrew learned how to write things in nuclear notation and also learned about the different types of radioactive decay, including alpha, beta, and gamma decay.
