This week in class we are going to be learning about rates of reaction.  To test you prior knowledge I would like you to complete the S4 Rates of Reaction review sheet (I will give you a paper copy but a spare copy can be found in the N4 folder on the website).  As well as this review sheet I would like you to have a look at http://www.absorblearning.com/chemistry/demo/units/LR1501.html#Measuringrates

Figure 2, 3 and 4 show ways that you can measure the rate. Choose one of the three ways and draw a labelled diagram in your rough work jotter or on paper.

To prepare you for the learning you are going to experience in class this week I would like you to read the following sentences and think about what the sentences have in common.

Group 1:

It was a hot day.  The reading on the thermometer was 80F.

I’m going to wear my thermals to football training to keep me warm.

The plumber fitted a thermostat to the radiator. It stopped the radiator from getting too hot.

Group 2:

In the event of a fire, go out by the nearest exit.

The exterior of the building needed some fresh paint.  It was important that the outside looked as good as the inside. 

The pupil had to be expelled from the school.  They were put out and weren’t allowed back.

Group 3:

A doctor can use an endoscope to see inside the body.

I’ll meet you at the entrance and we can go in together.

I’d like you to make notes on the aldehydes and ketones power point.  I’d also like you to try the exercise on page 29 of your work booklets.

If you are in tomorrow we will be completing the PPA on the oxidation of aldehydes and ketones so you will need to know what they are.

Enjoy  Miss Matthew :-)
