Studying for Thermochemistry

The powerpoint will be posted on 3/26 on the assignment calendar.
 Here is the Hess's Law practice with answers.
Another great place to study is actually from sparknotes: we do not have to calculate enthalpy from bond energies, but everything else matches our unit.
Your reading guide is very useful; this book has good concise explanations for this chapter. We have already looked at the endo and exothermic energy diagrams in chapter 9 that include activation energy. Don't forget about those.
Here is the heat of solution lab that we completed or will complete in the computer lab.
Email me if I can post something else for you!

Concentration of Solutions

Problem Set Answers - Proper sig figs may not be represented here. I believe they are all within reason.
8.8a 4 M, b 0.25 M, c 1 M
8.9 504 g HNO3, 144 g glucose
8.10 0.2 M
8.11  4 M Na+  (Please include the M of the sodium carbonate solution.)
8.12 1.6 M
8.13 0.47 molal
8.14 Use the density of benzene to calculate mass.   0.284 molal
Review your quiz with molarity, molality, mole fraction, and % mass for the QUIZ 3/2
 

Extra Practice? 
All of these at sciencegeek at great practice for your chem math skills. g/L and ppm are not on our quiz!

Another Sciencegeek.net practice page
All eight of these are great quiz practice

GREAT STOICH TESTS

GREAT WORK ODY on STOICH and predicting products! Let's make our next test grades as good guys! Honors, I know your tests Wed will show your hard work too! Stoichiometry uses dimensional analysis and it's a skill we call on the rest of the year so I am so pleased when you get it! And if you didn't we'll work on it; come see me to schedule a day to work one on one. Next chapter is SOLUTIONS. Well, not exactly next. We are starting to discuss solutions, but we will be going to the computer lab to begin working on the open book edmodo quizzes. If you have time to go ahead and read chapter 6, it will make your work load lighter this week. Have a great weekend. Read your cereal box or shampoo bottle if you don't do any other chemistry.
