AP Chemistry Reflective Report
I have intellectually challenged myself by taking Honours and Ap Classes such as Ap Chemistry 12, English Honours 10, and Math honors 9. I have noticed something about taking these classes. They challenge me to an extent I have never been challenged. The labs and the teaching style are tremendously effective. Experiments and labs create opportunities for extensive practical thinking as students need to reflect and process information in an orderly manner. In my AP chemistry class, I have grown in my ability to think things through logically and carefully. The process of labs makes you think on a different level. It requires hard work. I have developed confidence, and hard working skills. Chemistry requires thinking outside the box and being

    Abstract: A 50mL (we used 100mL) volumetric flask was used to determine the amount of sugar in a can of Coke per mL in 5 different solutions. Using the calibration curve we determine the amount of sugar per mL in a can of coke. This experiment concluded that there is 43.83g of sugar in a 12oz can of Coke.…

    Paul Fitts’ was the first to discover the relationship between the speed of movement and accuracy requirements. This has become one of the most fundamental principles of motor control. Fitts claims a relationship between task difficulty and movement time. He quantified task difficulty as “index of difficulty” which consists of the ratio of twice the amplitude over width of the target (2Amplitude/Width). This relationship states that when movement amplitude decreases or when target width increases movement time is shorter (Fitts, 1954). Fitts found that the relationship between amplitude and width was given by the equation: MT= a + b[log2(2A/W)]. The empirical constants a and b represent the y-intercept and the slope (Schmidt & Lee, 2011).…

Measure the volume, and record as “volume of water alone” in the data table. Tilt the cylinder and carefully slide one of the samples down the side. Make sure the sample is completely submerged in the water. Measure the volume and record as “volume of water + sample” in the data table.…

    The activation energy obtained in Part C, 138.6 kJ/mol is not too far below the theoretical activation energy of 148.526 kJ/mol[6], while Part A confirms the theory that k is dependent on the initial concentration of reactants, since it is a first order reaction. This is clearly depicted in Figure 3, where the alteration of the amount of t-butyl chloride being added to the reaction vessel clearly produced a different rate constant. The findings from Part B of the experiment proved that the reaction followed the SN1 mechanism, with the increased concentration of water in the water/acetone mixture causing the reaction rate to increase due to the usage of polar solvents to stabilize the carbocation being produced during this mechanism in the slow, rate-determining step [5]. However, there were errors in the experiment, which led to the results being slightly off from theory, such as the lower than expected value for the activation…

    ESSAY. Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper. 1) Explain the difference between a qualitative and a quantitative measurement. Provide examples to illustrate this difference. Answer: A qualitative measurement is a measurement that gives descriptive, nonnumeric results; a quantitative measurement is a measurement that gives definite, usually numeric results. "The rock is heavy" would be a qualitative measurement. "The rock weighs 110 grams" would be a quantitative measurement.…

    In this lab the standard heat of combustion of magnesium was calculated by using the calorimeter. Also, the point of combustion of magnesium was to see how much heat would be released from fireworks such as sparklers. The concept of this lab was to find the difference in temperature from the beginning to end of combustion of magnesium and calculate the standard heat of combustion of magnesium by using the calorimeter and a thermometer. By using the thermometer, we found out the change in temperature which helped to find the specific heat of water. The reactions were exothermic because of heat that was released into the surroundings from the reaction. Exothermic is a reaction of process that releases energy in the form of heat. Also, the Q that was measured is –Q of the reaction because Q system = -Q Water. After the difference in temperature from beginning to end of the reaction was taken, the Q = m∙c∙ΔT was used to find the Q of Water and system. Then 1 mole was converted into kilojoule per mole. The kilojoule per mole calculated was used in Hess’s law in order to calculate delta H. As there are always some errors in a lab, the amount of hydrochloric acid could have been off by ±1 or 2mL. When the thermometer was put into the calorimeter, it made a hole which helped the heat to escape from the calorimeter. Also the initial temperature of the water could have been different for every reaction. The percent error in our lab was -4.89%.…

    Lastly, I am a strong academic student with a plan to go to college, therefore, taking the most challenging courses I can take in high school is a wise plan that I have thought out. Being in a honors course helps me to be more academically inclined. Rigorous and challenging work is the best way to prepare for college, and is heavily weighted by college admissions. Many colleges recalculate applicants’ GPAs, giving extra points for honors courses.…
