Tues-Day 1
AP Chem - we did some more comparison problems involving the reaction quotient and equilibrium constant; we wrote the proper explanation of the predicted shift in the reaction as the reaction approaches equilibrium i.e. are more products formed or more reactants as the reaction proceeds towards equilibrium.
We began one of the most important parts of the course: the determination of equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products given a balanced equation and an equilibrium constant value; there are many permutations of this type of problem, and you must be organized as well as constantly thinking of the values expected and the amounts that are changing or not changing.
We use an ICE table organizer to help with these problems.
Bio - we reviewed the two general non-specific lines of immune defense against pathogens; we then focused on the mechanism of specific immunity provided via the interaction of phagocytes, helper T-cells, killer T cells, B cells and memory B cells.
