Welcome to Chemistry! Remember CHEM IS TRY!

Please make sure you understand the late policy.

	PAKs and tests are due on the due date during your assigned class period.
	Anything turned in late will be graded with an 80 cap one day late, and a 75 cap after that.
	Be prepared! Early is good!

Chemistry lab - Make sure you clean up after yourself and put materials away NEATLY!

Mass, Volume, and Density Lab - PAK 1 - watch the Pre-Lab Video

	accepted value for density of aluminum - Sample A - 2.70 g/cm³
	accepted value for density of lead - Sample B - 11.4 g/cm³
	accepted value for density of mystery metal - additional sample - 7.14 g/cm³

Pre-AP Students

Your 3rd lab should be the Virtual Acid-Base Titration.

3 Nov 08

Watch the Pre-Lab Videos before performing the labs.

Carbon Dioxide in Antacid Tablets Lab

For the analysis questions you need to do some stoichiometry. Therefore, you need a balanced equation.

NaHCO₃ + H₂O → NaOH + H₂O + CO₂

Don't forget to watch the online Seminar. Good information to help you for the test.

Congratulations! You made it through the first half of Chemistry. Part 2 is an application of all the Chemistry basics you learned in Part 1. So don't forget about formulas & names, balanced equations, moles & stoichiometry. They will all show up in Part 2. Keep up!

Turn everything in on time! Or how about early? Try to finish before Christmas break!

Specific Heat of a Metal Lab accepted values

	lead = 0.129 J/g°C = 0.0306 cal/g°C
	copper = 0.385 J/g°C = 0.086 cal/g°C

Obviously Hurricane Ike has altered our Chemistry plans. Hopefully all is well in your part of the world.

Please check the Chemistry Calendar for revised due dates.

PAK 3 is due on Thursday, September 25 in its entirety. That means all assigned labs should be completed.

PAK 4-7

Reg Chem - no labs are assigned. This means your lab grade for the term will be calculated based on your lab grades from PAKs 1-3. All other PAK work remains unchanged.

Pre-AP Chem - only the ChemASAP labs are assigned. This means you will record your data on paper and write your conclusion on page 2 of you PAK. All other PAK work remains unchanged.

Our regularly scheduled labs will resume with Term 2. Please check with your instructor if you have any questions.

08 September 08

	PAK 3 does not have the conclusion page attached to the PAK. Please pick one up at the front counter.
	If you do not want to cut out all the "ions" for the second lab, you may choose to draw all of the "compounds" instead. Don't forget to label all of them with names and formulas.
