Evaluation: In order to receive credit for this unit and test permission you must:
Complete and have a teacher mark all laboratory/investigation activities.
Take notes on each section
Complete Unit Review- self test
Once the above is complete, get test permission from a teacher to write A3 Quiz and Written Response (In assessment centre)
Ensure that you read all the information from the textbook. Read the material and take notes as you see fit.
Complete learning activities as you navigate through this digital learning guide
Pay attention to bold terms
Do as many of the review questions from the textbook as you find necessary to learn the material. These review questions area good indicator of how well you understand the materials. The Check and Reflects and Section Reviews are an excellent way to test your understanding of the material you have studied.
5. Attend the optional seminars for this topic. Please refer to the seminar schedule on D2L.
When you have completed the learning activities embedded throughout this digital learning guide, and readings for this section (A3.1- A3.4) you will be able to:
Provide examples of household, commercial, and industrial processes taht use chemical reactions to produce useful substances and energy.
Identify chemical reactions that are significant in societies
Describe the evidence for chemical changes (i.e., energy, formation of a gas or precipitate, colour or odour change, or change in temperature).
Differentiate between endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions
Classify and identify categories of chemical reactions (i.e., formation (synthesis), decomposition, hydrocarbon combustion, single replacement, double replacement)
Translate word equations equations to balanced chemical equations and vice versa for chemical reactions that occur in living an non-living systems
Predict the products or formation (synthesis) and decomposition, single and double replacement, and hydrocarbon combustion chemical reactions, when given the reactants.
Define the mole as the amount of an element containing 6.02X10^23 atoms (Avogadro's number) and apply the concept to calculate quantities of substances made of other chemical species.
Interpret balanced chemical equations in terms of moles of chemical species, and relate the mole concept to the law of conservation of mass.
