Mole Information
Honors chemistry students, you are to be commended for your performance on the covalent test Tuesday. Class averages were 78.5 and 82.3, which are lovely! I am quite proud of you for working so hard to understand the material and to able to apply it. If you did not attain the score you desire, let's make some changes to your study methods.
We started the unit on the mole today. This weekend, practice some conversion problems using the tools of Avogadro's number, mole ratio, and molar mass. We'll learn molar volume on Friday to complete your toolbox of conversions. Problems are cited in the previous blog entry and as you know, you can find ample practice online.
The test on the mole (chapter 6) will be on Friday, October 17. Then, we'll add learn about chemical equations.
Again, kudos to you all for your determination and your practice. It shows. For those of you who weren't exactly where you wanted to be, please continue to work. Repeated practice will make the concepts cement for you.
