Stoichiometry????????????????

I never knew that stoichiometry would be hard. When I first started I had no idea what I was doing until you gave us examples and slowly I got the hang of it. The worksheets are a lot easier than I thought from when I originally saw it the first time. I thought, "Wow! How am I suppose to this?" But now I really get it and I finished most of the packet. I just have worksheet eight to do and the lab is to be on tuesday. I don't get how to encorporate split elements in the equation which is really getting confuzzled. Confuzzled technically means confused, but I like how the word sounds like. Anyway I really understand grams to moles to moles to grams and now it is stuck in my head that I can only think of that that when I look at the packets now. Now I am certain that I willl not forget the formula now. GramsX MolesX MolesY GramsY Gramsx MolesX MolesY GramsY GramsX MolesX MolesY...................................................................................

The Test

The test that we had a couple of weeks ago was kind of hard. I thought I did pretty well and I did study and I know how to do the equations and the other formulas. That is fine but it is the things on the presentations that you give us that gives me trouble because you explain it too fast for the class, and me to understand completely.

Like Disolves Like

"Like Dissolves Like" is like a saying between chemists or people who are learning chemistry. It means that polar dissolves polar and nonpolar dissolves nonpolar. So a polar solvent would dissolve a polar solute. It is the same for nonpolar solvents and solutes. Nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.

Awesome video^o^

Mr. Olson and this guy named Curtis that use to be a Mills teacher made a video about mole and it was hella funny. They made themselves different colors and it was funny. Its all on the video. It's called Molesong with Curtis. I showed the video to most of my friends and they all love Mr. Olson now which I don't blame them for.

Contest

We did this contest thing where we had to find the right weight and fill up a bin of confetti until it got to a specific weight. We were at a time limit and I was rushing so much and my group was pushing too. We were running everywhere and trying to get the right weight before time ran out because we had to get as close as the weight as possible and the group with the closest weight won 1 extra credit point per person in a group. We were rushing and my group was rushing and I think that we dropped some on the floor and dropped some. We lost though because we were off by a little. We were about like .20 off. We were close but group 1 had only 2 points off. So they won. =(

What to do!!!!!

We have a test coming up and I've been studying really hard. If I wasn't doing homework or doing a project I'm on the games that Mr. Olson posted up on Schoolloop. I've been struggling with structures and how to draw them out from the formulas. I'm still practicing and getting the hang of it. I just hope that I can study enough to get a good grade on the test. I'm nervous for Friday but I will be ready!

H20

We did a lab today and it was about the charges in water and how it attracts electrons from a charged wand. It was really cool because the water moved and swayed toward the wand. It was cool cause we got to play around with it and made it sway around. The other part of the lab was that, we were suppose to drop, water droplets onto a plastic sheet. So when we did we ended up having water drops that kept their form and were like bubbles that wouldn't pop. It was really cool because my group got to arrange them into a smiley face = )
