Air Bag Lab

Today was our airbag lab. Our class's runs went pretty well, everyone passed. To make up for the lack of failure, me and Ganon launched Operation Allahu Vinegar.  Our first test went pretty well, but the second test was pretty anticlimactic.

I thought this was Chemistry, not Government

Now this is becoming a doozy. In this unit, we need to know a bunch of gas laws. To review, we have:

Ideal Gas Law: Used to find missing variables in a problem; remember R = .0812

  PV = nRT

Charles's Law: The relationship between volume and temperature;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Avogadro's Law: The relationship between volume and moles;

V1/n1 = V2/n2

Boyle's Law: The relationship between pressure and volume;

P1V1 = P2V2

Gas Laws Quiz

    Today was our Gas Laws quiz. I think I did okay, but there were a couple of questions I didn't know. I think I should have gone over the book passages alongside our notes, because the ones I wasn't so sure about were mostly conceptual.

Last Unit of the Year!

     Today we start our last unit of the year: Gas Laws. The first day's notes consisted of Boyle's Law: Basically, some really smart guy called Boyle figured out that volume and pressure have an inverse relationship (when keeping temp and moles constant). I don't think this unit is too bad so far, but then again, its only been one day.
