School Science concept taught by JESNA
Jesna and Michelle concluded their chemistry sessions by reviewing the 12 principles of green chemistry, with a focus on catalysis and energy efficiency. They discussed the economic, environmental, and safety implications of energy efficiency in chemical processes. Jesna offered Michelle options to renew the subscription or transfer remaining lessons and also provided information about her career counseling services.
Safety Implications of Chemical Processes
Environmental Implications of Energy Efficiency
Economic Implications of Energy Efficiency
Energy Efficiency in Chemical Processes
Jesna James and Chloe covered acid-base chemistry, focusing on Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry definitions, amphoteric substances, and acid and base hydrolysis mechanisms. They also discussed factors affecting the rate of hydrolysis and its applications. Jesna requested Chloe to share her syllabus for future sessions.
Factors Affecting Hydrolysis Rate
Base Hydrolysis (Saponification)
Electron Withdrawing/Releasing Groups
Acid Hydrolysis
Jesna James and Charlotte Richards reviewed aldehydes and ketones, covering reactions like Cannizzaro, Grignard reagents, Tollen's test, aldol condensation, and electrophilic substitution. Charlotte worked through practice problems on the whiteboard to reinforce her understanding of the material. Jesna also asked for feedback on her teaching methods at the end of the session.
Grignard Reagent Reactions
Cannizzaro Reaction
Electrophilic Substitution in Aromatic Aldehydes/Ketones
Rosenmund Reduction
Jesna James tutored Michelle Lerner on reaction kinetics, equilibrium, and green chemistry. They covered Le Chatelier's principle, the effect of temperature and pressure on reaction rates, and the 12 principles of green chemistry. No specific homework was assigned, but they plan to continue with the remaining parts of the green chemistry principles in the next session.
Green Chemistry Principles
Catalysis
Pressure Adjustments in Gaseous Reactions
Compromise Temperatures in Industrial Processes
Jesna tutored Chloe on carbohydrate chemistry, including monosaccharides (fructose, glucose), disaccharides (sucrose, maltose, lactose), and polysaccharides (starch, cellulose, glycogen). They reviewed stereoisomers, chiral centers, reducing/non-reducing sugars, glycosidic linkages, and the structural differences between these carbohydrates. The lesson also covered reactions of monosaccharides and mnemonics for remembering stereoisomers.
Fructose
Polysaccharides
Reducing vs. Non-reducing Sugars
Stereoisomers
Jesna taught Charlotte about the various reactions of aldehydes and ketones, including addition, oxidation, and reduction reactions, as well as named reactions like Clemmensen, Wolff-Kishner, aldol condensation, Cannizzaro, and haloform reactions. They discussed the mechanisms and products of each reaction, and Charlotte took notes. The next session will cover electrophilic substitution reactions and problem-solving related to aldehydes and ketones.
