In today's class, Andrew worked on an activity that covered what we have learned on the periodic table, including the different groups, atomic mass, atomic number, periods, and families. It also consisted of a research component where Andrew had to Google some responses to a few questions.
In today's class, we finished our discussion on boiling point and metallic character from the previous class. We also discussed transition metals vs main group elements, including discussing some of the similarities and differences between them and their properties.
In today's class, Andrew worked on an activity that covered the topic of metal and nonmetal reactivity. This included questions to answer based off what we covered yesterday and a periodic table that Andrew had to draw in order to show the trends.
From a given chemical equation, write the equilibrium expression.
Discuss LeChatelier's principle. Use examples to show how to increase the amount of product.
View video which demonstrates a few chemical reactions and how to shift the equilibrium based on LeChatelier's principle
Using written chemical reactions at equilibrium, and knowing the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium, Bobby will
1) balance the equation
2) write the expression for the K equilibrium constant
3) substitute the given concentrations into the equation
4) solve for the equilibrium constant, K eq.
5) analyze the result and determine the direction of the reaction
