Chemistry tutor near me in Port St. Lucie, FL

The session covered chemical kinetics, focusing on reaction orders, and acid-base titrations, including buffer solutions and pH calculations. The student worked through problems involving determining reaction order from experimental data and calculating the pH of a buffer solution using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The student will continue practicing similar problems in the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the concepts of wavelength and quantum numbers. The session focused on understanding wavelength through diagrams and determining possible values of the azimuthal quantum number based on the principal quantum number.

The Student and Tutor reviewed Units 3 and 4, focusing on reaction kinetics, equilibrium expressions, and integrated rate laws. The Student practiced identifying appropriate formulas and problem-solving strategies for different types of chemistry questions. The Tutor recommended creating a cheat sheet and using a consistent problem-solving format to improve understanding and test performance.

The session covered the concepts of boiling points, vapor pressure, and intermolecular forces. The Student worked through practice questions involving these concepts, focusing on understanding the relationship between particle arrangement, intermolecular forces, and boiling points. The Tutor planned to create a study guide on gas laws for a future session.

Robert tutored a student from New York City on mass spectrometry, ionization energy, and electron affinity, focusing on interpreting mass spectra and understanding periodic trends. The learner practiced identifying molecular ion peaks and stable fragments and worked through problems involving isotopes and electron configurations. They scheduled another lesson to continue studying for their upcoming exam next Wednesday.

Robert and Shae recently engaged in a lesson focused on radical reactions. Their discussion encompassed initiation, propagation, and termination steps, alongside practical exercises in identifying stable radicals and forecasting reaction products. They tackled problems in radical halogenation and synthesis. Robert suggested Shae prioritize reactions and synthesis for her upcoming Organic Chemistry 2 studies and extended an offer to provide textbook solutions and detailed explanations.
