Lecture #11, Monday, October 19th

Today I finished solution stoichiometry by discussing dilutions and how to prepare solutions by dissolving a solid ion a volumetric flask. We then reviewed neutralization reactions and discussed net ionic equations involving acids and bases.

The next topic was formation of gaseous products as I gave three examples of such reactions. The last topic from chapter 4 is oxidation numbers as I went over the rules of how to assign an oxidation number to atoms and ions in molecules and how it is important to have a set of rules to indicate oxidation states.

I will finish up the oxidation state section on Wed and we will predict the products in a displacement reaction using the activity series. We will also start chapter 6 on Wed.

The first exam will cover chapters 1-4.
