Dynamic Chemistry educator fostering interactive learning through practical exercises and visual demonstrations.

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.

The student and tutor reviewed redox reactions, focusing on identifying oxidation states, oxidizing/reducing agents, and conjugate redox pairs. They practiced balancing complex redox equations under acidic and basic conditions using systematic step-by-step methods, and discussed real-world applications. The student is to complete chapter 4 by the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed redox reactions, oxidation states, and how to identify oxidizing and reducing agents. The Student practiced assigning oxidation numbers to elements in various compounds. The Tutor assigned homework involving identifying oxidation and reduction in given chemical equations and discussed scheduling future sessions.

The Student and Tutor reviewed calorimetry, including calculations of heat, calibration factors, and enthalpy changes in solution. They also discussed energy transformations and efficiency. The Student was assigned practice problems from the textbook, and the next session will cover redox reactions and past paper questions related to the topics discussed.

The Tutor and Student practiced problems on limiting and excess reagents, stoichiometry, and thermochemistry, including calculations of heat energy and heat of combustion. The Student worked through examples involving mass, volume, and temperature changes. The next session will continue with solutions to calorimetry problems.
