Lecture #5, Monday, October 5th

Class started with my finishing up the notes on nomenclature by giving the set of rules for acids. Now that we can name all general chemistry compounds we can start to see how these compounds react in chemical equations. I listed three types of reactions on the board: Combination, Decomposition, and Combustion and on Wed we will discuss the similarities and differences between these types of chemical reactions.

For the rest of lecture I gave out some tips of how to balance a chemical equation and we went over several examples.

Quiz #2 this week will not contain nomenclature, but you can be certain to see a big chunk of nomenclature on quiz #3. You are responsible for the ions and any compound resulting from the ions in Tables 2.4 and 2.5 and any complexes resulting from the prefixes in Table 2.6.
