Tues., Feb. 5, 2013

Objectives:  Use stoichiometry to predict how much product will be produced in the dehydration of a crystal.
Announcements: Homework due tomorrow

Warm-up: Get a crucible and cover, make sure they are clean.  Find and record the mass.  Goggles on.
Hydrates Lab (Part 1)
Mass out between 4.5-5.5 grams of hydrated copper (II) sulfate crystals.  Measure and record the exact mass.  Set up to dehydrate & begin.  Predict the mass I show me your work.  Cool and mass your product.
Homework: Balance & Decode

Mon., Feb. 4, 2013

Objectives:  Identify type, predict products &
balance
Announcements: Lab tomorrow (be prepared)

Warm-up: Name the following common acids...
Hydrates Lab (Part 1):
Substances that "hold" water as part of their
crystal structure are called hydrates. You will 
dehydrate copper (II) sulfate, pentahydrate and predict the final weight while heating.

Decoding Practice Problem:
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes readily into oxygen gas and water.  This process is made much more rapid with the addition of a little potassium iodide.
