Chem Blog Week 22

This week, I learned more about the complexities of finding the number of moles. Also this week we had the MME/ACT testing so I was not in class for most of the week so this blog will be a short one. We practiced more with mole calculations and the concept and the mole but I am still a little shaky with how to find the number of particles or the number of moles or the mass.  It probably showed on the assessment we took online. I can describe what the mole represents and how it works in writing but the calculations mess me up. I am also able to find molar mass with the periodic table. This both connects with the electrolysis lab from last week and the things we learned earlier. Hopefully I will be ready before the reassessment because I tutor in chemistry and if I don’t have a grasp on the concept, neither will the person I tutor. I will ask my friends for some help about it.

Because this week was the ACT’s I will talk more about that than anything. I felt as if I was too calm compared to other people but I feel I did alright overall. I struggled on the science but I saw comfort that others also had some trouble with that subject as well. Even though my strongest subject is science. But it’s not really about your knowledge of science but your ability to understand graphs and charts and given information that was given. I’ll try to find something that would help me improve my test taking strategies. The other tests went well and the test went by quickly but when it was over I was exhausted!

Next week I am guessing that since we did not get to do much this week next week will be twice as busy. But I am okay it!
