Ignite curiosity with a biology tutor who enhances understanding through engaging visuals.

The Tutor and Student reviewed the "extent of chemical reaction" concept, focusing on dynamic equilibrium, reversible reactions, and interpreting rate and concentration graphs. They discussed the difference between strong and weak acids in terms of ionization and prepared to analyze the equilibrium law using reaction quotients and equilibrium constants in the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed Year 12 Biology curriculum from the Nelson textbook, focusing on Modules 5 and 6. They discussed DNA structure, polypeptide synthesis, transcription, and translation, and planned to cover RNA processing in the next session.

The Tutor and Student reviewed the factors affecting reaction rates, including concentration, surface area, temperature, and catalysts, through the framework of collision theory. They practiced analyzing scenarios and explaining observations using these principles, with plans to cover chemical equilibrium in the next session.

The Tutor and Student reviewed the rate of chemical reactions, including how to measure it experimentally, and explored collision theory, activation energy, and energy profile diagrams. They practiced applying these concepts through calculations related to gas production, stoichiometry, and enthalpy changes, and discussed the decomposition of hydrogen iodide and methane combustion.

The tutor and student reviewed concepts in electrochemistry, focusing on the electrochemical series, standard electrode potential (E°), and its calculation using half-cell potentials. They practiced predicting redox reactions and calculating cell voltages, with a plan to further practice these concepts and related thermochemical equations for upcoming assessments.

The tutor and student reviewed thermochemical equations and then extensively covered electrochemical cells, focusing on galvanic cells. They discussed the principles of oxidation-reduction, the construction of cells like the Daniell cell, the function of salt bridges, and how to write and interpret half-equations for redox reactions. The next session will focus on the concept of relative strength in more detail.
