Reminder to just a few students: 

Though our primary purpose is to learn more about the world of matter from the perspective of atomic processes, to earn credit for assignments that you do,

  • continue to focus on mastering the current course objectives by doing each assignment on time, that is, when they are most relevant to what we are doing in class and before the summative test on the chapter,
  • frequently check the latest snapshot of progress on Infinite Campus,
  • turn in any previously incomplete or missing assignment, and
  • promptly come to help class to complete any missing summative assessment.

If you have more than one assignment to complete,

  • do your regular daily assignment first and, to be nice to yourself, make up one past assignment per day and submit that completed assignment the very next day to your teacher,
  • or come to help class to finish up and submit multiple assignments.

Time is running out.  If you have one or more missing assignments or tests, further delay may cost you not getting credit for your completed assignments.

Start the following in class:

1.  Learn for tomorrow both the name and the units in the numerator and denominator each conversion ratio that follows. [These are conversion ratios #2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on page 2 of the chapter 10 informational handout.]

  1. density [or mass to volume] conversion ratio,
  2. molar mass conversion ratio,
  3. molar volume of a gas at STP conversion ratio,
  4. Avogadro’s number conversion ratio,
  5. number of atoms or ions per one formula unit conversion ratio.

2. In your Journal Notebook write your journal entry on sheets of three holed 8.5 inch by 11 inch ruled paper.

  • In the upper right corner white space of each upward facing page, use a blue or black pen to write your hand in number within a circle followed by your name.
  • To the left of the marginal line, print J82 and circle it.
  • Each journal entry should either be at least a paragraph of exemplary writing and penmanship concerning a single topic, or be a concept map relating chemistry terms. Begin each day’s paragraph with a topic sentence, follow with explained instances, and close with a focused summary statement.

The required journal focus topic J82 for today is:  Describe when and how each conversion ratio that follows would be used. 

  • density [or mass to volume] conversion ratio,
  • molar mass conversion ratio,
  • Avogadro’s number conversion ratio,
  • molar volume of a gas at STP conversion ratio,
  • number of atoms or ions per one formula unit conversion ratio.

3. If you have not yet finished it in class, finish doing the Section Review packet for chapter 10 as a formative assessment to find out some of the things that you do and do not know, and not as a research project.

  • If you did not obtain a section review packet for the chapter in class or if you have misplaced it, go to MNSD Google Drive > Student Resources > Section Reviews and print off a section review for each individual section of the chapter.
  • The section review packet for each chapter contains a separate section review document for each section of the chapter.  So for example, a chapter with four sections would have four separate section review documents that need to be printed off.  Each section review question document is identified by a name whose last two digits or last three digits represent the chapter number followed by the section number of that particular section.
  • For each question or problem challenge, either answer the question to the best of your ability using one or more full sentences, or answer the problem to the best of your ability by recording any numbers and units together with the mathematical operations performed in symbolic terms, along with the solution to the problem which should be circled.
  • After doing the section review packet, but before you demonstrate your understanding on our class’ chapter test, you will check all your responses using green ink check marks, √, for each correct response, and by lining out (striking trough) and inserting improved text in green ink when you think the suggested response expresses your present understanding in a better way.  Then, when you know what you didn’t understand, you will be able to study more efficiently by studying that which you have corrected in green ink.

Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:

1.  Check out the student made Quizlet for chapter 10 at https://quizlet.com/180911867/ch-10-chemical-quantities-flash-cards/.  Do all the definitions reflect a thorough and correct understanding?

NOT APPLICABLE THIS YEAR:

1. Continue studying for any of your Mid-Term Examination make up examinations.

2.  Continue studying for your open ended portion of your mid-year examination worth 20 points out of the total 100 points and the selected response portion of your mid-year examination worth 80 points out of the total of 100 points possible. The test will cover material from chapters one through ten and will be taken at your assigned test time as shown on the Infinite Campus web site.

3. Read over your Honors Chemistry Topics review sheet packet for the first semester, and make sure you understand each concept and are able to do each type of calculation listed.  If you do not have a copy, the review packet can be printed to the library printer. You can find it on your Google Drive > Student Resources > Handouts > LARN 82.
