Lesson Comments
Ben recalled quite a lot from last year's hydrocarbon classes.
view the structural formulas of a sample of organic compounds which have benzene as a main molecule. Use molecular models to demonstrate the structural formulas. Discuss the numbering system used to determine where any additions to the benzene molecule can be located and named.
View some sample models of aromatic alcohols.
Today we finished reviewing ionic, metallic, and covalent bonding. We then reviewed converting between mass in grams, moles, and representative particles. We did plenty of practice problems.
In today’s tutoring session, we reviewed the differences between endothermic and exothermic reactions, as well as their similarities. We also discussed enthalpy and how it changes depending on the type of reaction. We looked at enthalpy change graphs that showed ‘Delta H’ in addition to exothermic or endothermic implications.
