Solubility


solubility= the ability to dissove

solid- solutes dissove faster when:
- temp is higher
-more surface aera
- you stir or agitate the solution

Gaseous= solutes dissolve faster when
-temp if lower
-pressure is higher

acids and bases!


acids aka proton donors

did you know that
-acids taste sour
- strong acid are strong electrolytes
- acids are found in many foods
-acids burn on the skin!!!

bases
-bases are in household cleaners
-bases taste bitter
-bases feel slippery

STOICHIOMETRY



mole to mole conversion

gX to mol X to mol Y to g Y

stoichiometry means that we are given an amount of a substance and have to calculate the amount of that substance we will need to ract and create a different substance.

CONVERSION FACTOOORS :)


did you know there are ten steps for using conversion factors?

1. write the given (including the units)
2. write a tiny dot ( which means multiply)
3. write a horizontal line ("divide")
4. into the bottom, write the units the cancel
5.Into the top, write the units to move to
6. write the numerals that make the top and bottom equal
7. write more conversion factor(s) if necessary
8. when your final unit is what you want write "="
9. cancel all matching units, and calculate
10. box your answer ( including the units)


IF YOUR USE THESE STEPSSS YOUR WILL ALWAYS FIND THE CORRECT ANSWERRR :)

looooooook here form more info !!

Compostition boooks :)


this semester Mr.olson decided to add something new to our weekly routine. He gives us cut outs to paste into your composition books. We just recently added things about mole to mole framework and stoichiometry. Mr. olson makes our blogs fifty points each check. so far i have gotten full points and it has really helped out my grade. We also get to use it on our test. I LOVE MY COMPOSITION BOOK.

Like Dissolves Like





" Like Dissolves Like"

dissolving is defined as making a solution of, as by mixing with a liquid; pass into solution :)


"Like dissolves like", describes the general principle of solubility (i.e. polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes)

moooooooooooooooleee :)

what is a mole?

THE CHEMICAL MOLE

a unit of measurement containing 6.02 X 12^23


a mole of atoms is

602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

this week in chemisty we also watched a really cool video that mr.olsen made with mr.washington. it was really creative and taught me a lot about moles.


LISTEN TO THISSSS :)
