I took my quiz this morning and didn't do very well. Frankenburg went over everything I missed today and it was mostly definition questions. I need to go over the basics before the test. I did get every single ICE box question right so i hope there is a lot of those on the test.

Today we did a lab very similar to our last one expect we were titrating an unknown acid. We had to heat up the acid in the water to get it to dissolve. This acid was different in that eventually it went all the way back to clear making it very hard to get a good percent error.

Today we did a lab. I surprisingly passed the pre-lab quiz. I really like this lab. Its a ton of fun and really cool. We are tritrating KHP with a base of NaOH and turning it a light pink color. Its really difficult to add the exact amount of base to turn the KHP light pink and not dark pink. one drop could ruin your lab. This made the lab hard but fun.

This was only the second day in the unit but it doesn't seem completely impossible yet. I am nervous to  leave tomorrow. We have a quiz I am missing on Monday but i think it shouldn't be too bad. Here is a cool picture of things we've been learning.

On the first day of the unit I didn't feel too lost. mostly naming and concepts. I really enjoy the lecture supplement because I can focus on what she is saying, not copying everything down. I am nervous for the rest of the unit but i am going to try to stay on top of things because I am going to be out a lot for dance.
