Properties of Solutions – formation, water as a solvent

(CaCO3 and Hard water)

Solubility – factors affecting

(fertilizer runoff)

Solubility – Henry’s law

(mineral deposits)

Solubility – supersaturation – “Supersaturation”

discussion of pollution with respect to solutions, intro to pollution project

Molarity – intro, making dilutions

(pollution project)

Molarity – percent solutions

(pollution project)

Colligative Properties – vapor pressure, Boil point and Freeze point

Colligative Properties – molality and mole fraction

Intro to Gases – properties

 

Boyle’s Law “Pressure-Volume Lab”

Gas Pressure

Charles Law “Temperature-Volume relation Lab”

Combined gas Law

Ideal gas law Introduction

Ideal Gas Law

Dalton’s law

Graham’s Law Diffusion of Gases Lab

Pollution discussion with respect to gases – Students choose project idea

Students will design experiments to test the pollution levels around Austin – They will then draw these ideas out and present them to the class
