Solubility rules

   This lesson I was gone for most of the time for, and thought studying up and posting a post would proceed to help force me study. The Rules I found are below:

Lab Reveiw

   This lab wasn't challenging what so-ever, as everyone (even the ones that failed) passed into it. The lab was a longer one, but I thought beneficial in that it showed the predicted reactions don't always yield exact accurate results, but are for the most part correct. It also re-enforced crucial topics in passing this upcoming mini test. I didn't do as well as I thought on that test, resulting in a current B- for this quarter, and a B semester. As long as this test goes well on Monday, I should bounce back enough. Good luck to those who are similar situation.

Quiz Reveiw

 This quiz wasn't a difficult one,and I'm sadly content with my 8/11. The sad part was I knew what I was doing, but bubbled in the wrong answer. I feel like a fool, but it's better to have learned my lesson on a quiz versus a test. Hopefully, I never make the same mistake again.

Test Review

   I thought today's test wasn't difficult, but the time crunch made it so. The trail of Tears was walking from Chemistry to your next class! It took me to the bell, as with most of the class I've heard. I felt that I did fairly well, although I can't say 100% for sure so. Hopefully you guys reading this feel more confident than I, and good luck on your grades!

Formula of a Chloride Review

   I got this one correct, again from the aid of my partner. I had all the math correct, but once again, plugged in the wrong numbers. I've finally been able to grasp the concept that which numbers go where in the process(s) it takes to go from chemical X to Moles of it, and vice versa. The pictures are from our lab this time, and are all original. I distinctly remember having to handle the acid, which I'm normally okay with, but to my horror I though acid had splashed over my hands! I found out later that the group  before mine was late, and didn't have time to dry the water from their beakers. I had mistaken the water for acid because it had the exact same consistency as the acid, and they were both transparent.


Formula of a Hydrate Lab Review

   Sadly, my partner and I didn't make it in to this lab. I learned what I did wrong from my partner, and benefited from a wrong-doing here than on the test. It turns out I plugged in the wrong number, writing a 9 for a 1, which made a crucial difference. I witnessed this lab from Eric and his partner, and have pictures thanks to them. The lab really narrowed down the concept that dehydration came from a hydrated substance.



Quiz Review on Chemical Composition

   I didn't do as well as I thought I would on this quiz. I missed the 7 special elements, and it's rule in which you double the end resultant. I feel this below expected score inspired me to study harder than I might've from an aced quiz. I have a border B to A for this quarter, and I hope this test I ace, and therefore abolish any chance of a B. If not, I still have a couple of back-up grades coming up. Good luck to everyone reading this on their test result!
