Wednes-Day 2
AP Chem: tomorrow is the Gas unit test day. Anticipate questions on each subtopic covered in the unit with ONE exception: writing the reactants and products of the FOUR specific types of "gas-forming" reactions will not be tested although, if these reactions are on the test, the equation will be given. (You will be tested on a myriad of reaction types on your Thermochemistry exam in a couple of weeks; we will have had more practice by then, though I know that you already know the gas-forming reaction types.)
So, make sure that you practice your
1. gas stoichiometry (we did at least three problems IN CLASS and there are dozens of problems on the practice tests/worksheets),
2. Dalton's Law (in all of its forms) problems,
3. Graham's Law (in its two forms, time OR rate given) problems,
4. the Ideal Gas Law in ALL of its permutations (Boyle, Charles, Gay-Lussac, Avogadro, and molar mass to density and vice-versa) numerically and graphically,
5. Kinetic-Molecular Theory explanations of each gas law (according to the TWO bullet points, in detail),
6. explaining how and why and under which conditions gases behave ideally or otherwise deviate from ideal gas behavior,
7. the Van der Waal's equation and the meaning of each correction factor and explaining the relative magnitude of the a or b factor for each gas in a set of gases.
As usual there will be NO surprises and, if you solve the problems as seen in class (re-do the notes posted online) and also do the problems supplemented in the hw and worksheets/practice tests, you will just be repeating what you already have done many times. That is how can excel or continue to do so in our new quarter. Never easy, always possible/likely for each of you.
Bio 6- HW Objectives have been posted on Blackboard since last week; the hw is due Friday and your unit test is next Tuesday.
Today, we REVIEWED transcription and translation via a worksheet; we then began to look at the last part of our unit: genetic mutations. We saw an overview of the two major types of mutations: point mutations and (much larger) chromosomal mutations.
We will do an example of each specific type, tomorrow.
Bio 7/8-HW Objectives have been posted on Blackboard since last week; the hw is due Friday and your unit test is next Tuesday.
Today, we REVIEWED transcription and translation via a worksheet; we then began to look at the last part of our unit: genetic mutations. We saw an overview of the two major types of mutations: point mutations and (much larger) chromosomal mutations.
We will do an example of each specific type, tomorrow.
We then did a lab simulation on DNA transcription and mRNA translation into a particular amino acid sequence that formed a protein/polypeptide that was involved in some nerve pathway to make you have a certain behavioral TRAIT.
