LARN 078 C20D2

Study for the summative assessment on chapter 9 that is to be given on your next school day that our class meets.  Today is day 78.  Study for your test which is scheduled for school day 79!  If your class does not meet on day 79, today’s home learning activities are listed under day 79 and on day 79 your home learning activities are those listed below.

Start the following in class:

1. 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 J78 and circle it.
  • Each journal entry should reflect a thorough response of two or more sentences written in good penmanship.
  • The required journal focus topic, J78, for today is:

a. How can an inorganic acid typically be recognized from its formula?

b. What are the ways of systematically naming an acid, an inorganic compound, and a binary covalent molecular compound?

c. Why is it that one of the first things to do when naming compounds is to determine whether the compound is an acid, is ionically bonded, or is covalently bonded?

d. Given the formula of a compound, what process should be used to name the compound (as an acid, covalent molecular compound, or as an ionic compound)? 

e. In what way does the method of writing the formula of an ionically bonded compound differ from that of writing the formula of a covalent molecular compound?  

2.  As part of your review for your chapter 9 assessment, read over the learning  objectives written for chapter 9 and study with the aim of being able to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply the learnings.  Open the Unit Learning Objectives for Cornell Notes document, Press and hold the CTRL key while typing F to bring up a search (find) box.  Type in chapter 9 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.  Examine this chapter’s learning objectives, one by one.  

  • Are you able to demonstrate your understanding or mastery of each of this chapter’s learning objectives?  How do you know you can? 
  • What has formative assessment of each objective informed you about?  

Study for your summative assessment on Chemical Names and Formulas.

  • Be able to write formulas for positive ions, negative ions, and for ionic compounds (Use LCM).
  • Be able to write formulas for molecular compounds whose names contain prefixes.
  • Be able to name ionic and molecular compounds from their formulas.
  • Be able to identify and state the names and formulas of common acids.
  • Be able to state the laws of definite proportion and multiple proportions and explain how they support the idea that atoms exit.

Study and take Cornell notes as seems appropriate.

3.  Go to http://www.phschool.com/webcodes10/index.cfm?wcprefix=cda&wcsuffix=1090&area=view  and take an online formative assessment for chapter 9, Chemical Names and Formulas.  Then click on the Score My Test button and study anything that you do not yet understand. 

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

1.  Turn to page 280 in your text and read and study the chapter 9 Study Guide.  Also study the class notes you have taken and the prepared notes that we have gone over in class. Study the meanings of any unfamiliar words or concepts that you came across either in the text or while previously studying your copy of the chapter vocabulary.  Give someone willing to be your study partner the list of terms and recite the core meaning of the each chemistry term when your study partner asks for it. Have your study partner make a mark next to any term with which you are having difficulty.  End your vocabulary study period by studying only those terms that you have identified as currently problematic.

2.  Continue studying both the schema for naming cations, the schema for naming anions, and the schema for naming compounds on the document entitled Inorganic Nomenclature.

3. Check out the student made Quizlet for chapter 9 at https://quizlet.com/178902510/ch-9-chemical-names-and-formulas-flash-cards/.  Do all the definitions reflect a thorough and correct understanding?
