3.15.11


Announcements: Our test for this new section will either be on Friday the 25th, or Thursday the 24th depending on which day we have a Chem day. Mr. Paek also informed us that we only have 2 more major sections and then we're home free, which is extremely exciting.

In Class: Today in class we did the Heating Curve Lab:
Items Needed: Beaker filled 1/2- 2/3 way with ice, hot plate/burner, thermometer in Celcius.
Procedure: We took a beaker filled with ice cubes and put it on a hot plate/burner. We then every 30 seconds wrote down the temperature of the water at the time. After the ice had melted you were still supposed to write the temperature, up until 3 minutes after the water had started to boil. When you're done with this, you need to make sure that you write down the temperatures and times. Then you needed to answer the usual questions on the sheet and make a graph with the time on the X-Axis and the temperature Y-Axis. (Reminder: Have a title for your graph, and name the x and y axis. Mr. Paek said he'd be grading these for accuracy)



Homework: Finish the graph and answer the questions!
