Views on Stoichiometry

Since our Stoichiometry unit exam was today, I thought I'd just share some thoughts. First, overall this is not a very hard unit, if you study. However. what I seemed to have the most trouble on was finding the theoretical yield. It seemed like no matter what I did, I could not get my answer to match up with any of the selected answers. But that will not happen on the final, hopefully. However, as the last blog post for the semester, I have found some relatively enjoyable videos for everyone. Enjoy!!!

Awesome Reactions Part 2

In Day 2 of our Stoichiometry Lab, we removed both the nail and the water from our baby food jar. We then added HCl to the jar to clean off the copper(II) chloride, and then proceeded to dump out the acid. We then added water again to clean out the rest of the acid and dumped it. Then we took the nail's balance.

Awesome reaction Part 1

In Day 1 of our Stoichiometry lab, we added copper(II) chloride to water in a baby food jar. We then added an iron nail. The resulting reaction caused the copper(II) chloride to dissolve and turn the water blue. Exciting!

Troublesome Test

Today was our Stochiometry weekly quiz #1. I have the formulas down, but for some reason my answers didn't turn out right all the time. Did anyone else have that problem or is it just me? Just in case, if anyone might need these, here are some helpful websites regarding Stoichiometry.
