Chemistry Honors – Final Assessment

Dates

• Final Two Class Period Meetings (49 / 50)
• Final Exam Period

Meetings

• Period B – Friday, December 12th
• Period D – Tuesday, December 16th
• Period G – Friday, December 19th
• Final Period will start @ 9:00 am
• Students will have up to three hours to complete the assessment

Part 1 – Exam Question (50 points)

• 45 minute time frame
• students work individually
• “work-em-out” problem
• one problem with multiple parts
• will be provided with PT, ions, charges, solubilities
• classroom calculators allowed – use pencil only
• showing process and steps most important
• TOPIC: solution chemistry with enthalpy of reaction

Part 2 – Lab Activity (50 points)

• The purpose of the lab has two possibilities: to determine the identity of the unknown metal or to determine the change in enthalpy of an aqueous reaction or process.
• Each student group (of two or three) will be given an unknown metal or reaction. Each group will design and conduct a lab to determine the identity of the metal or change in enthalpy. The students must use a calorimeter and digital temperature collection (PASCO) as part of their process. The students may additionally use other methods but this is not required.
• The output is a lab report written in each student’s Lab Notebook. The report should follow all of the parts of the lab reporting process and be neatly conveyed.
• The lab notebook will be submitted by the end of the period.

Support

• The last two class periods will be dedicated to studying and thinking about the lab.
• There is no homework for those last two class periods and the LNB may not be taken home.
• There is a discussion post in Schoology for questions
• I will collect your LNB the final day of class – anything written directly into the LNB can be used
• You will collaborate with a partner on the final lab report
• The exam is worth 18% of your final grade (the syllabus states that it will be 20%)
