Unit+2+-+Chemistry


 * Thursday, October 27, 2011:** We wrote the Chemistry unit test. We will take it up in class tomorrow. No homework. We may start the new unit (Climate Change) tomorrow.


 * Wednesday, October 26, 2011:** We reviewed for the test tomorrow! See the handouts from the past two days (or any other day this unit, for that matter) if you need to study more!


 * Tuesday, October 25, 2011:** We wrote a (surprise) practice quiz, to see how ready we were for the Unit Test on Thursday. Here is a copy of the quiz, and the answer sheet. If you need answers, I wrote correct answers directly on the quiz you wrote today. Quiz: [[file:Oct 25 11 - 40-Question Multiple Choice Chemistry Quiz.pdf]]. Homework: Study for the test!


 * Monday, October 24, 2011:** We took up the mock test, and went through a study guide, including some practice questions: [[file:SNC2D Study Guide for Test 2 - Chemistry.pdf]].


 * Friday, October 21, 2011:** We saw and began writing a version of last year's Unit 2 Test. The Chemistry Unit Test for us will be on Thursday, October 27. Here is a blank copy of the mock test: [[file:Unit 2 Chemical Reactions MOCK Test.pdf]]


 * Thursday, October 20, 2011:** We learned to name covalent compounds. Homework: Finish the sheet that was handed out today in class.


 * Wednesday, October 19, 2011:** We learned about neutralization reactions and applications of acid-base chemistry in the real world. Homework: Predict the products of the following neutralization reactions: [[file:Oct 19 11 - Neutralization Reaction Homework.pdf]]


 * Tuesday, October 18, 2011:** We took up the homework, then learned more about acids and bases: 8 acids we need to memorize the names of; and an introduction to the pH scale. No homework.


 * Monday, October 17, 2011:** We learned how to identify chemical reaction types. Handout: [[file:Oct 17 11 - Identifying Types of Chemical Reactions.pdf]] We were introduced to acids and bases (identifying them from a molecule's chemical formula). Homework: Page 227 #2abcd, Page 228 #1,5ad,8. We agreed, as a class, to have the Unit 2 (Chemistry) Test on Thursday, October 27.


 * Friday, October 14, 2011:** We had a work period for a new assignment, about Oil Spill Remediation. Assignment sheet: [[file:Oil Spill Remediation Assignment.pdf]]. Due Monday, Window of Opportunity open until Wednesday.


 * Thursday, October 13, 2011:** We reviewed double displacement reactions and were introduced to Synthesis, Decomposition and Combustion reactions. Extra practice questions (not checked, but recommended): This PDF (link) #1,2,4,6,8,11,13,15-22,24-26,29,30.


 * Wednesday, October 12, 2011:** We reviewed single displacement reactions and were introduced to double displacement reactions. Homework: Finish the back of the sheet handed out on October 7 (posted below).


 * Tuesday, October 11, 2011:** We learned about single displacement reactions. Homework: Finish the sheet that was handed out in class today: [[file:Oct 11 11 - Single Displacement Worksheet.pdf]]. We wrote a quiz about balancing chemical reactions. Here it is, with solutions: [[file:DOC001-21.PDF]].


 * Friday, October 7, 2011:** We learned about single displacement reactions and practiced balancing chemical equations. No homework! Handout: [[file:Oct 05 11 - Single and Double Displacement Reactions.pdf]]


 * Thursday, October 6, 2011:** We took up the homework, and we did a lab about single displacement reactions. No homework!


 * Wednesday, October 5, 2011:** We learned about balancing chemical reactions. Handout: [[file:Oct 05 11 - Balancing Chemical Equations.pdf]]. Homework Sheet: [[file:Oct 05 11 - Balancing Chemical Equations Worksheet.pdf]]. Your homework is to balance the first 8 equations on the sheet.


 * Tuesday, October 4, 2011:** We learned about ionic solids - how to name them, and their properties. Homework: Finish (a) to (u) on the "Naming" side of the handout. Also, Page 151 #1, 4, 5ac, 6abc, 7ab. Page 150 #10bef. Handout: [[file:Oct 04 11 - Ionic Compounds Day 2 of 2.pdf]]


 * Monday, October 3, 2011:** We learned how ions are formed, and how to convert ionic compound names into chemical formulas. Homework is questions (a) to (v) on today's handout. Handout: [[file:SNC2D Oct 03 11- Ionic Compounds, Name to Formula.pdf]]


 * Friday, September 30, 2011:** We reviewed the Grade 9 Skill of drawing Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams. Chemistry Unit starts Monday! Here is a copy of the worksheet, filled in, for students who were not here: [[file:Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams of First 20 Elements.PDF]]
