For the lesson observed the objectives was to explain the trends of the periodic table based on the elements’ valence electrons and atomic numbers. Additionally, students were responsible for applying their previous knowledge in calculating subatomic particles to review the Bohr Models and discus the relationship among families in the periodic table. Students will use the information from today’s lesson to make future judgments on reactivity and bonding created during chemical reactions in the next unit. Lastly, students were to connect the information on elemental properties to previous experiences with their health, commercial products, and everyday life.

This chapter covers the basics that you may have learned in your chemistry class. The questions that follow

In this experiment, we learned about stoichiometry, empirical formula, molecular formula, polyprotic acids and bases, metathesis reactions, and moles.

The city of Nairobi was established at the end of the 19th century as a small primitive town that is located on the rout of the railway connecting Uganda with Mombasa in Kenya. The town kept on developing to become the capital of the Eastern Africa British Colony in 1907. In 1963, Nairobi became the capital of the Republic of Kenya and one of the interesting cities many tourists who travel to Kenya would pay a visit.

This is to ensure that the necessary raw materials and physical resources are available at each stage, and that the workforce on site has the right skills for the scheduled work. The project management team will need to produce a series of planning documents that can be accessed throughout the project. Each member of the project management team must know their role and responsibilities, including which sections of the workforce they will be directly managing.

The inclusion of lithium in Reynolds X100 makes sure to block any dislocations within the alloys crystal structure, giving it an outstanding fatigue resistance.

One of the most important skills to have in the chemistry lab is the understanding of how chemicals will react. Knowing for example, how a chemical will react with a metal, is an excellent way of determining the amount of a particular metal in a deposit. This knowledge was used in this lab to determine the amount of copper in an unknown sample mixture. It is also known that the determination of the percent concentration of a certain solution, will directly effect the percent transmission and absorption of a solution, dependent upon its dilution. By first testing known concentrations of a solution, and plotting this information graphically, a line is formed

As communication is a key element in my field, the necessity for them to develop excellent Language skills is key, as it also requires preparation, as elements of clear enunciation, focusing and the design of presentations are usually present in most of the courses within this field.

You have been struggling with the contents of CHEM 200. It is very important for you to work more closely and frequntly with your Achieve tutor for this class. Please, follow your CHEM 202 intructor's advice and go to the tutoring sessions offered by Department of Chemestry to support the work you do at Achieve.

Accelerated Chemistry I is a demanding course that involves critical thinking and problem solving. Throughout the course you will be asked to analyze data, draw conclusions, process new information, and build your own understanding of chemistry concepts. Only after you have investigated new ideas will you discuss them formally. The model we will be using in class is - engage, explore, explain, evaluate. You will be asked to analyze common occurrences such as melting ice cubes and burning candles in order to understand the chemical processes that allow them to occur. You will analyze the relationship between macroscopic properties and microscopic structures, which in turn will help you to gain a better understanding of the world around you,

As the first written assignment (due January 22, 2016) for the Junior Chemical Engineering Lab (CHE 352) taught by Professor Burrows, I will be endeavoring to provide a superior reflection of my personal standards and assignment quality. Although this assignment will be submitted to Professor Burrows, the individual that this assignment will benefit the most is me. This work will allow me to focus on data research, data analysis, professional writing skills, and advance my knowledge concerning the technical requirements of this course; thus, directing me towards a higher level of professional document writing and presentation. Through completion of this assignment, the guidelines of Professor Burrows will prepare me intellectually for the challenges of future written projects in this course, thus making my material easier to read and evaluate.

Objectives: Students will be introduced to chemical reactions, reactants, and products and will build upon their knowledge of chemical versus physical changes.
