SYLLABUS, UNIT 5

WELCOME BACK!

Students in Mr. Hatfield's Chemistry classes should've spent the first week of the Spring 2017 semester completing a four-part packet of handouts which review math routines taught and rehearsed in the Fall semester.  

On ATLAS, this packet will display as four separate classwork assignments: Molar Mass, Two-Step Problems, Three-Step Problems and Stoichiometry 1.   Each is worth 20 points, but they are shown on the Syllabus below as a single (80-point) assignment:

Students should've also begun answering the Section Assessment Questions from Chapter 13, and beginning on Tuesday of the second week, begun to absorb new material on kinetic molecular theory and gas laws.

VIDEO: EQUILIBRIUM

Students:  here is Paul Andersen's video on 'Equilibrium', the final video worksheet of the semester:


 There is also a link to where you can download a PDF version of the video worksheet, HERE.

POWER POINT: STOICHIOMETRY OF FLUIDS

Students: HERE are the Power Point Notes on 'Stoichiometry of Fluids' given in the first two weeks of Unit 4, the final unit of the Fall semester in Mr. Hatfield's Chemistry classes.   

This section of notes covers problems having to do with molar volumes of gases, limiting reactants and percent yield, molar concentrations and other properties of solutions.   A Study Guide based on these notes is available HERE in PDF form.

VIDEO: SOLUTIONS

Students can watch Paul Andersen's discussion of solutions and their properties as many times as needed here, on-line, in the video embedded below:




Students can also access the PDF version of the worksheet given in class, based on this video, HERE.

VIDEO: LIMITING REACTANTS

Students, here is the video shown in class, in which Paul Andersen demonstrates limiting reactant and percent yield problems:




The worksheet based on this video is available as a PDF file HERE.

UNIT 4 SYLLABUS

Students, this is the last syllabus, for the final Unit of the fall semester.   There are only 15 days of instruction remaining in the course.   Work hard.  Try everything.   Use your time wisely.

POWER POINT: MAPPING STOICHIOMETRY

Students, HERE is the brief Power Point Notes given in class which introduces the technique of 'mapping the equation':

This technique is complimentary to the fractional setups which we have been practicing for weeks, setups that allow chemists to convert units via cancellation:

Mapping the equation is very helpful in solving more complex, real-world problems in which the order of operations is important:

In these sort of problems, you should map the equation FIRST, then use the map as clues on how to set up the order of your fractional terms.  

Considering the mapped equation above, let's imagine that we are given 72 grams of hydrogen gas (H2), and we want to know how many grams of ammonia (NH3) can be produced in this reaction . . . .

The map tells us that after we write down the given amount as the first term, the second term should use the molar mass of hydrogen gas (2.02 g/mol), expressing it as a fractional term.   The third term, the mole ratio, we get from the balanced equation:  it tells us that for 3 moles of  on the reactant side, we should have 2 moles of  on the product side.   Finally, to convert from moles to grams, we use another molar mass, the molar mass of ammonia (17.04 g/mol ).
