Gas Laws Weekly Quiz

The Gas Laws quiz was not extremely difficult, but it wasn't super easy either. There were a few questions that stumped me because I did not fully understand the Kinetic Theory of energy, and the application questions were kinda hard to understand. The math questions were easy, as you basically had to just plug the numbers into the formula, and the graph questions were easy as well. I think I did okay on the quiz, and I know that I have to prepare a little bit better for the next assessment.

Charles Law lecture was a very short, simple lecture. It was similar to Boyle's law, so understanding the relationship of the values was easy to understand. In this law, pressure and moles are constant, leaving initial volume over initial temperature is equal to final volume over final temperature. Volume and temperature have a direct relationship, so if one increases, as does the other.

Boyle's Law

http://thescienceclassroom.org/chemistry-lessons/gases/the-gas-laws/
Boyle's Law is a fairly easy one. It stems from the normal law of gases, keeping temperature and moles constant. In the calculations, all you have to do is set the initial pressure times initial volume to equal the final pressure times final volume. This is a really easy law because the calculations are all in one line, so the relationship is easily identifiable.

The energy and phase changes unit was a fairly simple one. As the unit was only one week long, we ran through the lessons and labs quickly, which was kind of difficult going through all of the information so fast. Although the information was pretty easy, it was difficult to memorize all of the information so fast, but it turned out okay. I prepared a lot for the test the night before, which was good for me, as I got a 95% on the test. Overall, this unit was a success, so I am happy.
