This week was great... WE HAVE A MINIMUM DAY TODAY :D we learned about the Gay-Lussac's Law its about the properties of pressure (and gases, to a certain extent) interesting stuff :3
this week we learned about equilibrium and it is rather interesting. it acts like us kids - we oppose everything u do! xD equilibrium change depending on the temperature, pressure and concentration it is not very hard to learn but it does take some time to understand
this week, we got another packet D: we learned a lot about phase changes and changes in energy the best part, thought, was when we did the elephant toothpaste experiment!
This week, we learned about reactions. The two types were learned were mainly exothermic and endothermic.
WE also did experiments to figure out joules and calories from mass, specific heat capacity and changes in temperature! A really handy equation for this is Q=MCdT!!!

We burned things in the lab we did this week. It was not too fun because i burnt my thumb :'( Our lab was related to combustion because we used fire. Although it was not a pure combustion reaction.
