Lesson Topic
organic acids
Lesson Outline
Present chemically the functional group required for an organic acid molecule. Determine the general formula as R-COOH. Outline how to name the acid based on the alkane moiety and replace the last e in the name with OIC.
Discuss how Many of the acids have an official IUPAC name, a common name, and a familiar name. Example would be CH3COOH is ethanoic acid, acidic acid, and vinegar. Online a few aromatic alcohols which contain a benzene molecule along with attached groups, and elicit some of their common names, like salicylic acid and their uses.

Lesson Topic
solubility constant of salts
Lesson Outline
Define a precipitation reaction, write equation examples to show the formation of a water insoluble product. Discuss that solubility can be quantified. Introduce the solubility product constant which is used to measure the extent to which insoluble salt will dissolve. Show examples of equations and formulas. Given a compound with its solubility in water and the concentrations of products formed, calculate the solubility products constant.

Lesson Topic
Organic Chemistry
Lesson Outline
In today’s class, we continued on learning about some basic subjects in organic chemistry. We finished going over all of the important functional groups, including ethers, halides, and nitro-containing compounds. We also practiced what we learned about saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and how they react in reactions.

Lesson Topic
Functional Groups in Orgo
Lesson Outline
In today’s class, we discussed functional groups as they are seen in organic chemistry. We recapped the basics we already know, such as the hydrocarbon groups, and went over some new ones, such as thiols, primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, and phenol groups. We talked about how they differ both chemically and in terms of reactivity.

Lesson Topic
Molecular Models
Lesson Outline
In today’s class, we put into practice what we learned so far in the topic of organic chemistry. With our new molecular model set, we were able to start constructing basic atoms, such as straight-chain hydrocarbons, up to much more complex molecules, such as benzenes and those with pie bonds.

Intro to Organic Chemistry
Lesson Outline
In today’s class, we continued on with our topic of an introduction to organic chemistry. Specifically, we continued to name and categorize functional groups and names of hydrocarbon chains. We went over the basics from things like benzene to more complex groups such as haloalkynes and thiols.

Lesson Topic
Intro to Organic Chemistry
Lesson Outline
In today’s class, we began our introduction into organic chemistry. Primarily, we discussed alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. We went over how they are similar and different from one another and how to identify and draw them from scratch. We also went over saturated vs unsaturated hydrocarbons. At the end, we finished with some practice problems that Joshua did very well with.
