Kinetics

These are the homework assignments in the unit. Unless otherwise noted, all text references are to Chemistry: The Central Science, Brown, Lemay, and Bursten. Go to the Winter Vacation Review Assignment. On that page, you should be able to do all the calculations in the first five assignments (up through section 10.6). ||  || Do problems 3, 5, 9, 11 ||   || Do problems 14.13, 15, 17, 21, 23 ,78 NOTE: try to complete all of these problems, but at least do the problems up to #17 before Monday, September 10. || || Read 14.5 up to page 546. ||  || Do problems 14.27, 14.29, 14.33, 14.35, 14.37 ||   || > Try these two questions: 14.67 and 14.71 ||  || Do problems 14.55, 59, 61, 65 ||  ||
 * Date Assigned || Date Due || Assignment || Worksheets and Presentations ||
 * August 16 || August 21 || Read the Section in Chapter 3 explaining limiting reactants. Complete the worksheet at the right. || [[file:AP Chem I-1 Limiting Reactants.pdf]] ||
 * August 23 || August 27 || Read Sections 3.5 study the calculations involving empirical formulas (page 92) and molecular formulas (page 93). Do the following problems at the end of the chapter for practice: 3.41, 3.43, 3.45, 3.85. These problems are on pages 107 and 110. Since they are odd-numbered, red problems, the answers are found at in the back of the book. Be sure to check your work. ||  ||
 * August 27 || August 29 || Go to the page for the review of gases and do the Assignment I. You should be reading sections 10.1 and 10.2 and answering a few questions at the end of that chapter. ||  ||
 * ||  || In the early days of September, we completed many sections of the Gas Law review assignment. Good work everyone!
 * September 6 || September 10 || Read 14.1 and 14.2
 * September 6 || September 10 || Read 14.3
 * September 10 || September 12 || Review the homework problems from the night before and do these additional problems: 14.22, 24, 25, 26, 75, 80
 * September 12 || September 14 || Read 14.4
 * September 14 || September 18 || Go to the gas law page and complete Assignment VI, sections 10.7 and 10.8. ||  ||
 * ||  || EXTRA ASSIGNMENT - Complete this one sooner rather than later. You can do it!
 * read the rest of section 14.5 and try using the Arrhenius Equation. Do problems 14.43, 14.47, 14.49. Problems 47 and 49 are challenging, and they are rarely found on the AP exam, but if you can understand them you'll be even more awesome!
 * read section 14.7 and takes some notes about catalysts. Again, some of this material is challenging, and I will urge you to reread this section in the spring. However, if you understand the idea of a catalyst now, you'll have an advantage.
 * September 18 || September 20 || Read 14.6
 * ||  || Review the ideas one last time by doing these problems: 14.78, 14.80, and 14.87. ||   ||

These are the quizzes and tests we will have in this unit: ||
 * August 27 || Limiting Reactants ||
 * September 14 || Gas Laws (through section 10.6) and Kinetics (through section 14.3) as well as the second section of Unit VII: Types of Reactions ||
 * || This is a practice test for you. The solutions to this test will be placed in the AP Homework Keys Binder in the classroom.
 * September 26 || Test on Limiting Reactants and Kinetics, (From Brown LeMay, the test covers section 3.7, Chapter 10 except section 10.9, and all of chapter 14) ||

We will study a couple of labs as we do this unit.
 * Determining the concentration of a solution: Beer's Law
 * The rate and order of a chemical reaction using colorimeters
