Cycle 1 |
- Write a job description for a specific type of chemist, for example an organic chemist. Include the job responsibilities and make the job sound as exciting as possible!
|
Cycle 2 |
- All pennies are the same, aren't they? Research how (and why) pennies changed in 1982. Turn in a short summary on your index card.
|
Cycle 3 |
- Convert using Dimensional Analysis.... Because you never learned dimensional analysis, you have been working at a fast food restaurant for the past 35 years wrapping burgers. Each hour, you wrap 184 hamburgers. You work 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. You get paid every 2 weeks with a salary of $880.94. How many hamburgers will you have to wrap to make one million dollars?

Cycle 4 |
- Your assignment this cycle is to create a game that will allow someone to learn the ions on their ion sheet. I will be looking for creativity and originality, and effort. You do not need to do this extra credit on an index card... This extra credit is for both cycle 4 & 5 (only one game needed)

- Aluminum thiosulfate
|
Cycle 7 | |
Cycle 8 |
|
Cycle 9 | - How many atoms of aluminum would be produced if 2.3 x 1025 atoms of zinc reacted completely with an excess of aluminum sulfate? (Hint: Is there more than one product?)
|
Cycle 10 | - How many atoms of copper would be produced if 4.8 x 1026 atoms of zinc reacted completely with an excess of copper sulfate? (Hint: Is there more than one product?)
|

Cycle 13 |
- Write a stoichiometery haiku. If you don't know what a haiku is, look on the internet for an explanation (and some examples)...
|
Cycle 14 |
- Pretend that you are a water molecule. Explain your journey from being frozen to being boiled. Discuss your proximity to your "neighbors" and your energy (translational and vibrational) at each stage of your transformation.
|
Cycle 15 |
- Determine the amount of energy required to completely change 150 g of ice at -25 *C to steam at 110 *C.
|
Cycle 16 |
- What is caisson disease? What causes it, who gets it and how is it treated?
|
Cycle 17 |
|
Cycle 18 | - Why are chemists concerned about the oxidation and reduction of metals? What importance does this have in your life?
|
Cycle 19 | - What is the difference between a fission reaction and a fusion reaction? Which one is used in the nuclear reactors that produce electricity?
- In your opinion, are nuclear reactors safe ways to produce electricity? Cite your sources.
|
Cycle 20 |
- Draw the electron dot structures for the following ions:
- Carbonate ion
- Sulfate ion
- Phosphate ion
|
Cycle 21 |
- Watch the video on how salt dissolves in water
- http://youtu.be/xdedxfhcpWo
- Create a comic strip that illustrates how an ionic solid dissolves in water. Be sure to show how the solid dissociates and is surrounded by the water
- What is the difference between an ionic and a covalent bond? Be sure to site your sources for credit!!!!
|
Cycle 22 |
|
Cycle 23 |
- What volume of a gas can be produced by decomposing 2.5 tons of potassium chlorate?
- Is it possible to write a Keq for this reaction? Explain your answer.
|
Cycle 24 |
|
Cycle 25 |
- Your task for this cycle is to prepare an acid/base indicator at home and test it on at least 5 household items. See me for details (what you need to hand in...)
- Here is the recipe for the indicator:
|
Cycle 26 |
- This is the last cycle (and very short) so the extra credit is EASY!!! Bring in either tissues (2 boxes maximum)/paper towels (up to 3 rolls)/hand sanitizer/hand soap (2 bottle max) for extra credit!
|
Final Exam Day |
- This extra credit is due on the day of your final exam!!!!
- Write and decorate a Chemistry Haiku to be displayed in the classroom next year! A haiku is a Japanese poem with a 5, 7, 5 syllable count. Good luck!!!
