Post- Lab

Here are the calculations that I did after lab in order to figure out if we were given Fe2+ or Fe3+, we had Fe3+. This practice was very helpful and helped me physically see the process of how the data is collected and how we get the answers we do. 

Stoichiometry lab

I personally really like this lab. I understood how we got the mass we got because of the Fe3+ ion which was cool to understand while actually doing the lab. The practice of figuring out the yield and percent yield of this lab was very helpful as well!

Stoichiometry: The Basics

So far we have learned that stoichiometry is taking a balanced chemical equation and finding the quantities of the reactants and or products. If you can identify what you are given and what you are looking for, then the problems should be pretty simple.
Here is a link that helps go into more depth about stoichiometry:

End of unit

As the unit comes to an end with the unit test today, I feel pretty good about most of the subjects. There are a couple things that I may need to study harder for the final, but I feel more confident in ending this unit than I did last unit!

Redox Lab

In this lab, we again combined two substances, but this time one was a solid metal and the other was an aqueous solution. This lab helped me to visually see what happens when a reaction occurs showing a color change, a formation of a gas, or bubbling. Some reacted, but almost half didn't. All and all, I enjoyed this lab!
