FOURTH EXAM (Ch 15, 16)      key     

 

bonus key

I spoke out of turn.  The bonus problem (for those who did it correctly) was NOT a buffer (not at the equivalence point).  Sorry for the confusion.  It was in fact a weak conjugate acid problem, requiring [HA], Ka­, and an ICE chart all leading to an acidic pH.

 

For problems like this bonus see:   66 – 72 from Ch 16 as assigned on the syllabus.

Sat Apr 5

The UCA Chemistry Club is hosting a Demo-palooza event on Saturday, April 5th on the first floor of Laney Hall from 3-6 PM.

 

We have invited UCA alumnus Dr. Bill Deese of Louisiana Tech University and UCA's very own Dr. Jerry Manion, who are both known for doing chemical demonstrations to public audiences to "perform" and explain the chemistry of their demonstrations.  We hope this will be a good opportunity for us all to learn tips on how to do chemical demonstrations.  In addition to the UCA community, we are also inviting other chemistry clubs at nearby universities and colleges. 

 

These two guys have excellent chemistry demos.  Worth your time to see this show.

integrated form   ([conc] vs t)        

 

Linked here are really good CV + OH- kinetics data.  I know now that our CV solution was old (too many days) and too dilute.  This made the rate much slower than usual, meaning only the most precise groups of students were able to distinguish between 1st and 2nd order plots in their data.  The students who collected these linked data were very precise.  I suggest everyone use these data to complete the crystal violet kinetics writeup.
