Mon-Day 1
Physics - continued our practice of series circuits, doing problems in which we calculated the voltage/potential drop across individual resistors in a circuit, and also the energy and power output at each resistor. We finished up Circuits 4.
We then reviewed some of the quarterly questions; those who got part 1, number 8 correct will have their grades revised.
We will continue our Ohm's Law lab on Wednesday and then do a series circuit lab.
AP Chem - focused on relating catalysts and intermediates in a mechanism to their representation on an energy diagram; related the highest activation energy part of the energy diagram to the SLOW step of a reaction mechanism because, at a given temperature/average kinetic energy, the lowest fraction of molecules would meet the highest activation energy requirement step in a reaction mechanism.
We also reviewed the Arrhenius equation, and its applications.
