LARN 154 C39D2

Start the following in class:

1.  Write your journal entry on sheets of three holed 8.5 inch by 11 inch ruled paper in your Journal notebook. In the upper right corner white space of each upward facing page, write your hand in number within a circle followed by your name. 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.  Rather than just to find answers to questions, the goal of journaling is to reflect on, synthesize, and clearly express your thoughts in statements of your own understanding, so do not paraphrase material from other sources that you do not understand.

a.  The first required focus topic, J154A, for today are

a. Number and list six properties of acids.

b. Number and list six properties of bases.

b. View the animation:  Three Acid -Base Theories

The second required journal assignment, J154B,  is to create a chart that has four columns down the page and has four rows across the page. Label the four lines in the first column with the titles Theorist(s), Acid Species, Base Species, and Acid-Base Reaction. Title the other three columns

  • Arrhenius,
  • Brønsted-Lowry, and
  • Lewis.
Theorist(s) Arrhenius Brønsted-Lowry Lewis
Acid Species
Base Species
Acid-Base Reaction

c.  The third required journal assignment, J154C is: Read pages R14 and R15 on the properties,and sources of the elements boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thalium found in Group 13 (IIIA). On your learning journal page record the answers to these three questions:

  1. What is the most interesting fact you read about?  Please make your response longer than one sentence.
  2. What makes this so interesting to you?  Please make your response longer than one sentence.
  3. What is one use for one of the aforementioned nonmetals that you either were not familiar with or were least familiar with?  Please make your response longer than one sentence.

2. a. Use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare study guide for text section 19.1 on Acid-Base Theories or go to https://socratic.org/chemistry  to research the topics brought up in section 19.1 of your text.  Read section 19.1 in your chemistry text, pages 586 through 593, and as you do, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class and on the distributed handout packet.  You may record vocabulary entries in the body of your study guide, or you may check them off on the chapter 19 vocabulary list that was distributed as you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake.

2. b.  After you have finished reading the assigned section of the chapter, answer the formative assessment questions and do some formative assessment problems to inform you about the degree of your comprehension and understanding.  Assessment questions are printed at the end of the section that you have just read.  Reflect on your answers to assure yourself that you have understood the major points in the section that you have just read.  Record your responses to questions that are challenging you, so that you can later review what you are learning.  If all problems seem easy to you, record the response to the problem that was least easy for you to answer.

Writing in blue or black ink, place your hand in number in a circle followed by your name in the upper right white space of a piece of three holed composition paper that hasn’t been written on.  Place the page reference for the problems to be considered to the left of the red marginal line on the first blue line.  Centered on the first blue line, write a descriptive title for the learning activity such as Section C1.4 Responses where C1.4 represents Chapter1.section4.  Before you write your response to each question or problem listed below, write its designation to the left of the red marginal line as listed below, followed by your response in ink to the right of the marginal line.

If solving the problem entails the use of multiplication or division, show your work by including a ? followed by the unit of the quantity you are solving for, an = sign, followed by the quantity given that has all or part of the dimensions of whatever quantity you are solving for, followed by mathematical operations on all labeled quantities, conversion ratios or comparison ratios that are used to obtain the sought for quantity.

  • Study Conceptual Problem 19.1 on page 593 and then show your work for practice problems I9-1ab (In chapter 19, problem 1ab) and I19-2ab.
  • In the Section Assessment 19.1 on page 593, read, analyze, describe and explain practice problems I19-1 (In chapter 19, problem 1), I19-2, I19-3, I19-4, I19-5, I19-6, I19-7abc, and I19-8abcdabcd.
  • After you have finished responding to the formative assessment questions and problems, check page R98 of the text and check each of those problems that you can by writing in either a check mark (√) or a correction in green ink.  Write down any question that you still have so that you can ask about it in class.  In the margin of your notebook page, circle the number of formative assessment questions do not have a suggested response given and check your response with that of your classmates when you come to class.

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

  1. Download and open the Unit Learning Objectivesfor Cornell Notes document, press and hold the CTRL key while typing F to bring up a search (find) box.  Type in Chapter 19 in the search box and then move your cursor into the text area to the right and click there to see the first page of objectives.   Consider each learning objective as you proceed through the chapter with the aim of being able to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply the learnings.  For now, study and take Cornell notes on objectives 2 through 6.
  2. Download current ActivInspire unit flipchart by logging on to the MNSD Google Drive and selecting it from the Student Resources > ActivInspire  folder.  Generally the flipchart name will begin with a capital U to designate the chemistry unit of study and end in a relatively high version number following the v at the end of the flipchart’s title.  Download this chapter’s flipchart after clicking on the following link for unit 14: Acids, Bases, & Neutralization.  Click through the chart quickly and take Cornell notes on concepts pertaining to the learning objectives that you are studying.  At the end of your study, write a summary statement of what you learned.
