Good evening!!
Today we went over chapter 19 study guide Acids and Bases
The answers are up there ^^
Don't forget to study for the Acids and Bases test tomorrow
Good luck everyone~
This blog is for grade 12 students who are studying chemistry. It is intended to provide a forum for students to discuss, debate and question the topics we cover this semester.
Friday, May 21, 2010, we read pages 19 to 29. We learned new terms like electrolyte and non
electrolyte. "conducts electricity" is an electrolyte and "do not
conduct electricity" is a non electrolyte. An example of a non
electrolyte is water (H2O). An example of an electrolyte is sodium
hydroxide (NaOH). Then, Ms. K showed us a demo that determine if a
compound is an electrolyte or non electrolyte. We looked at questions
on page 22. Questions 4, 9, 10 and 14 are identified as non
electrolytes. We added 2 questions #13. H2O and #14. NaCl. Electrolytes
are question #s 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14.
*all organic compounds are NON electrolytes*
*strong acids are ALWAYS strong electrolytes*
*strong acids are considered to completely dissociate in water*
We also did the 'calculating the dissociation constant' on page 29.
After the booklet, Ms. K assigned us to do Acid -Base Equilibria
Worksheet 4 questions #1-4.
Have a nice long weekend!!!
