Thurs-Day 1
AP Chem - we learned the "half-reaction" method for balancing redox reactions in either acidic or basic solution; the base solution process requires two more steps (to neutralize the H+ ions with OH- ions) than the acid solution process.
We then used this required method to balance a redox reaction, and then do a solution stoichiometry problem.
We went through the common question types for solution stoichiometry including the determination of the concentrations of all ions in solution at the end of the reaction.
Bio - we began our unit on cells by discussing the unity of all living things: all organisms, large or small, simple or complex, consist of one or more basic living units called cells.
We discussed the relationship between advances in technology, especially in microscopy techniques and equipment, that enabled discoveries of cells and organelles within cells.
