Chemistry tutor near me in Fort Worth, TX

The student and tutor worked through practice problems focusing on stoichiometry, molar mass calculations, Avogadro's constant, and thermochemical principles including endothermic and exothermic reactions. They discussed problem-solving strategies for heat and work calculations and applied these to relate reaction enthalpies to mass and moles of substances. Future sessions were planned to cover Lewis structures.

The Tutor and Student reviewed chemical reactions of metals with water, acids, and steam, including balancing equations. They also explored the physics concepts of states of matter, particle behavior, and the effect of temperature on energy and motion. Homework was assigned on metal reactions and properties.

The Tutor and Student reviewed addition reactions in organic chemistry, focusing on hydrohalogenation and the application of Markovnikov's and anti-Markovnikov's rules. They also touched upon carbocation rearrangements and stereochemistry in addition reactions, with plans for further practice sessions.

The student and tutor reviewed balancing molecular and net ionic equations, with a focus on precipitation and neutralization reactions. The student practiced writing balanced equations and identifying spectator ions. The session concluded with a discussion of tests to identify alkaline earth metals, including precipitate and flame tests.

The Tutor and Student focused on the rules and techniques for naming organic molecules, including alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, and practicing different methods for drawing their structures. They worked through examples of branched alkanes and isomers, with plans to continue practice in the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed organic chemistry concepts related to three-dimensional molecular structures, including wedges, dashes, and hybridization. They practiced identifying and naming structural isomers of alkanes and explored conformational isomerism through Newman and sawhorse projections, discussing the stability of staggered versus eclipsed conformations. The next session is planned to cover cyclochexane chair conformations.
