Chemistry Chap 12 Review Concepts

The chap 12 test will be  of the same format as the quiz (short answer)  and cover much of the same material.  Here is the list of concepts, all dealing with balanced chemical reactions:

1.  moles of X to moles of Y

2.  grams of X to moles of Y

3.  grams of X to grams of Y

4.  grams of X to atoms or molecules of 7

5.  grams of X  to liters of Y for gas at STP

6.  Kgs of X  to grams of Y

7.  Kgs of X to Kgs of y

8.  percent yield.   Given  the actual yield, you calculate theoretical yield and calculate percent yield.

9.  Limiting reagent problem.  You are given two or more starting amounts of reagent.  Figure out  which is limiting and then calculate the amount of product.

Solar Water Distillation Project Physics 2015

Description:  Students will design and construct a solar thermal powered still.

Due Date:  June 1,
One partner is allowed or individual.

1.   The device will change dirty salty water into clean pure drinkable water of low conductivity as measured by a conductivity probe.

2.    Grading will be based upon a 24 hour test period of 90% sun starting Monday, June 1 in a secure area on campus.  In the event of clouding a second test will be performed June 2nd, or when sun is available.

3.  The total area of collector may not exceed 0.36 square meters.

4.  80% of the materials by weight must be  post consumer materials  such as used food containers, cardboard, worn tires,   construction debris, etc.

5.  Value:  This project is valued at 100 points.

6.  The test will be done on grass in the courtyard.

7.  Your project is required to have wind protection for winds up to 30 miles per hour.  There is  10 point deduction for designs without wind protection.  If ballast is your plan you are required to use at least 10 pounds.

8.  The reliance on tape to remove your clean water  will result in a 10 point deduction.  This is an inferior material for a project that generates steam.  Do not tape your glazing to your project body.

9.  A deduction of 10 points will result if your project requires more than 5 minutes to add dirty water, secure the glazing and stake down for wind protection.

10.  Grading will be based upon the production of clean water in mls.

250 ml =  A

200 ml = B

100 ml = C

5 ml = D

Less than less than 5 ml = F

Suggested design elements:

1.  Research the best orientation for capturing maximum sun in our latitude

2.  Do not allow vaporized clean water to escape from your project

3.  Keeping mass low will allow for quick temperature increases.

4.  Selective insulation can prevent heat loss through radiation back into the environment

5.  Some glazing will prevent light transmission.  This is to be avoided

6.  To maximize condensation your condensation surface must be cooler than the vapor inside your project

7.  Here is a link to a small still made from some recycled components

Chemistry Review Chapter 11 Chemical Reactions

1.  Balance   an equation using coefficients given formulas

2.  classify a type of reaction ( one of five)

3.  Write a balanced chemical equation given words for products and reactants

4.  Predict products  given formulas of reactants

5.  Predict if a reaction will occur using activity series

6.  Predict if precipitation occurs using the solubility rules
