Limiting Reactant
Broad Concept(MCAS Framework): The conservation of atoms in chemical reactions leads to the ability to calculate the mass of products and reactants (5.Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry)
Essential Question: Do you have enough pieces of bologna for your bologna sandwiches for the Super Bowl (Go Patriots)
Each student will be able to:
- Determine if a questions is limiting reactant problem or not.(5.5)
- Determine/calculate which reactant is limiting (and therefore in excess).(5.5)
- Determine the amount of product(s) produced in the rxn .(5.5)
- Determine the amount of excess reactant material .(5.5)
- Determine the actual yield, theoretical yield, and percent yield of product(s)..(5.6)
Redox (Oxidation-Reduction) Reactions
Broad Concept(MCAS Framework): Oxidation-reduction reactions occur by electron transfer and constitute a major class of chemical reaction.(11.Oxidation-Reduction and Electrochemistry)
Essential Question: Follow the bouncing electron to show who is doing work. (LEOthe lion goes GER)
Each student will be able to:
- Determine if a chemical reaction is a Redox reaction or not(11.1 & 11.2)
- Using appropriate drawings and explanation, determine which specie will be oxidized & reduced (11.1 & 11.2)
- Using appropriate drawings and explanation, determine which reactants (whole species) will be the reducing agent & oxidizing agent. (11.1 & 11.2)
WILL NOT REQUIRE STUDENTS TO KNOW HOW TO BALANCE REDOX REACTIONS
