**Second Semester **
 * Welcome to 2nd Semester of AP Chemistry. This is where I will post any important documents for this semester.**

This unit covers chapter 14. Talk about reaction rates, concentration and rate, temperature and rate, changing concentrations with time, reaction mechanisms.
 * Unit 10: Chemical Kinetics Jan. 4 – Jan. 14 **
 * Experiment: ** Penny Decomposition, Iodine Clock Lab, and Beer’s Law Lab

This unit covers chapter 15. Talk about the equilibrium constant, calculations and applications of equilibrium constants, Le Chatelier’s principle, and heterogeneous equilibria.
 * Unit 11: Equilibrium Jan. 18 – Feb. 4 **
 * Experiments: **Le Chatelier’s principle and Determination of Kc

This unit covers chapters 16 and 17. Talk about Bronsted-Lowry versus Lewis acids and bases, the autoionization of water, the pH scale, strong and weak acids and bases, Ka and Kb, salt solutions, common ion effect, buffers, titrations.
 * Unit 12: Acids and Bases Feb. 7 – March 4 **
 * Experiments: **Hydrolysis of salts and pH of a buffer, Determination of Ka for a weak acid, and Determination of Ka for a polyprotic acid

This unit covers chapter 20. Talk about Redox reactions, balancing, voltaic cells, cell EMF, spontaneity of Redox reactions, batteries, electrolysis.
 * Unit 13: Electrochemistry March 7 – March 18 **
 * Experiments: **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Oxidation-Reduction titrations and Electrochemical cells and thermochemistry

This unit covers chapter 21 and 25 and will only be taught if there is time remaining. Talk about radioactive decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion, and organic nomenclature.
 * Unit 14: Nuclear Chemistry and Organic Chemistry March 21 – March 24**

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">During this time, we will review anything that needs reviewing. We will make sure we know how to write net-ionic equations, know solubility rules, and know how to use the handout allowed during the AP Exam. We will also have optional evening review sessions if the members of the class would like. I will be available to review most days after school in the spring until 4:00.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Review for AP Exam March 27 – AP Test **

Note: Some labs may change.
