Chemistry 5-1-12 Single Replacement, Double Replacement & Combustion Rxns

CHEMISTRY: Wow! We did a lot today in just a very short amount of time! Here’s the lecture on the review and new notes on single replacement (with a little intro to the activity series), double replacement, and combustion reactions. Now that you’ve got everything on paper, let’s play with them tomorrow. First, the quiz. Then you’ve got to remind me to show you this really cool demo on combustion rxns. I call it “flaming bubbles”! And don’t forgot – we’ll start with the quiz! Good luck studying, I’ll be praying for you!!

Chemistry 4-27-12 Decomposition Pt. 2 & Single Replacement Reactions

CHEMISTRY: I missed you guys today! Sorry about the scratchy vodcast. How’s it going working with completing and balancing chemical reactions? Are you getting better at remembering how to write formulas? And how are you doing on memorizing the equations? And today you got a head start on the activity series. Good job!

Here’s a vodcast from today on the rest of decomposition (a couple of chem classes didn’t get all the way through) and all of single replacement. This makes 15 so far, so we’ll do the rest Monday! Careful though, don’t just memorize them. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation, first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. I believe in you! You can do it!!

HON CHEMISTRY: You are doing a great job working with completing and balancing chemical reactions! How are you doing on memorizing them? And you got a head start on the activity series. Good job!

Hon Chemistry 4-12-11 The Activity Series

HON CHEMISTRY: Well, here it is, the last of the lectures from chapter 8. A couple of things – make sure you’ve memorized the activity series, but just as importantly, make sure you know how to use it! Those guidelines I gave you in class should really help. Good luck as you study for the test on Thursday! I’ll be praying for you!!

Hon Chemistry 4-11-11 Single Replacement, Double Replacement & Combustion Reactions

HON CHEMISTRY: Hmmmm….somehow we had a glitch in the sound today, so I’m having to be creative on giving you the lecture on single replacement reactions. Moving right along….here’s a lecture from last year on the rest of the types of chemical reactions – single replacement, double replacement, and combustion. You’ll need to memorize all 17 of them (by tomorrow!), but don’t just memorize them. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation, first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. I believe in you! You can do it!!
