Terminology of the unit was introduced, especially steady state and dynamic equilibrium.  Refer to text p.422, 424-top of 431.
Homework:  Read p.424 and define bold terms; read p.429 and describe continuous and batch systems; read p.430-431 and answer p.437 #1 and p.438 #10

Test day.  Complete your lab reports for the reaction rates experiment.

The experiments you designed were performed today.  The lab report (one per group) is due on Thursday.  Study for your unit test tomorrow.

We spent class time on review of unit 3 - Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction.  The unit test is on Wednesday.  Work on the review questions assigned last week.

Students designed an experiment to show that when one factor was changed the rate of a reaction also changed.  The experiment will be performed on Tues., April 27.  There will be one report due per group on Thurs., April 29.
The unit test is on Wed., April 28.

Consult the text p.387-389.  Answer p.391 #2, 3, 4a; p.396 #5; p.409 #13.

Reactions occur because of collisions, but just because molecules collide, that doesn't mean there will be a reaction.  Note the summaries of these concepts on p.385, 396.
Homework:  p.408 #10

The unit test will be next Wednesday, April 28.  Review questions include:  p.412 #1-2, 7, 9-22, 26, 28-30; p.414 #3, 5-8, 10, 16, 18, 20, 26

We finished the simulation activity.
Homework:  Read p.392-396 and make brief notes; answer p.396 #1, 3, 4

If you were absent today, you can consult the activity we did by opening the document "Sim Instructions" found on the unit 3 page of the grade 12 section of this site.  We used a simulation to investigate what makes a reaction successful, and what changes its rate.
Homework:  Read p.383-386 and make notes of the major concepts.

Read p.360, 362, 365, 367-370.  In grade 10 you learned about the factors that affect reaction rates.  In this course, you have to explain why those factors affect reaction rates.
Homework:  p.365 #7-9; p.371 Practice #3, 4 and Section #1, 4
