School Science concept taught by JESNA

Michelle learned 7 days ago

Lesson date:

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.

Michelle learned 14 days ago

Lesson date:

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.

Chloe learned 14 days ago

Lesson date:

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.

Charlotte learned 20 days ago

Lesson date:

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.
