Like Dissolves Like

Dissolving has many steps to this process depending on what is being dissolved. If a solid is being dissolved the surface area is greater making the solvent dissolve faster. To increase the rate of dissolving solvents, high temperature and stirring will make them go faster. There are three main factors that affect dissolving: surface area, temperature, and stirring.


Like dissolve like means whatever is being dissolved it is being dissolved by the same. For example, a polar solution dissolves a polar solvent.There are many more examples and uses for like dissolves like.

the fabulous MOLE!!!

this past week we have been learning about the mole!!!
IT is 6.02 X 10^23. We did a lot of worksheet regarding this subject. It was a lot of fun when trying to measure out the 23g of cellulose of punched out paper!! I never new that the molar mass on the periodic table......very interesting.

Watch the mole song it's quite the song to remember 6.02 X 10^23

molecule test and experiment

today's lab looked quite interesting. Though i did not get to particiapate in the lab, due to sports, i still would like to know what was happening with each solution. It looked as if the charged rod would be charged enough to pull the solution toward it. Overall a cool looking lab, going to need to get the results and what happened, and i'm a little nervious for the test this friday!
trying to study as much as I can. STill having trouble understanding the polar molecules and non-polar molecules.

shcp game and today

the shcp game was really long and cold. The game was going good until they scored and we couldn't get back to set up and score on their goal. We played better today than in the game yeaterday, but we still have a long way to go!!
today was an ok day still having some bad luck with things though, kinda sucks! :(

castellejah game and overall day

the game against castellejah was pretty hard. They were a good team and we had them tied in the first half, but then lost it in the second half near the end. After the game was really tiring, went home and fell asleep!!!!
overall not a great day, had better, but oh-well:)

light lab

On tuesday we did a light absorbancy lab test. We took three solutions from a big bottle and stuckk them in a test tube and put the test tube in the light absorbancy machine. We figured out how much absorbancy each solution has and then later last friday we graphed it on google docs.
this lab was very intresting and cool at the same time! I enjoyed this lab.

upcoming unit test on bonds and light!!

i am very nervious for the upcoming unit test. I kinda of understand the material put it can be very hard to comprehend. The ionic and covalent compounds are really hard and i don't really get it, sometimes. Hopefull the new unit review game will help. i am hoping to do well on the test and boost my grade to help my gpa!!
