Dr. Trusha Mehta | Experienced Mathematics |Tutor for All Levels and curriculums .

The Student and Tutor reviewed the IUPAC naming rules for organic compounds, focusing on identifying the longest carbon chain and naming substituents like methyl groups. They practiced applying the lowest locant rule and used prefixes such as 'di-' and 'tri-'. The Student was given a worksheet as homework to practice naming compounds.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the calculation of average atomic mass, specifically addressing a common error in converting percentages. They then introduced the concepts of empirical and molecular formulas, working through an example problem to demonstrate how to derive both from percentage composition and molecular mass. They also discussed plans for more practice on this topic in the next session, which will conclude the Chemistry unit before moving to Mathematics.

The Student and Tutor practiced chemistry problems, initially focusing on calculating the number of molecules from a given mass using molar mass and Avogadro's number. They then learned how to determine the average atomic mass of elements by considering the mass and abundance of their isotopes, completing several practice exercises. The Tutor assigned two homework worksheets per week to reinforce the learned concepts.

The Student and Tutor reviewed a chemistry test covering topics such as electronic configuration, periodic table concepts, and chemical bonding. They then began a new chapter on organic chemistry, focusing on the naming conventions and general formulas for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Homework was assigned to practice applying these formulas for various carbon chain lengths.

The Student and Tutor continued their Chemistry lesson on the mole concept, working through various problems involving calculating moles, molar mass, and the number of particles using Avogadro's number. They also reviewed mathematical principles for handling exponents in scientific calculations. The Student and Tutor also discussed scheduling for upcoming sessions.

The Student and Tutor engaged in an English poetry session, analyzing an Aboriginal poem through both multiple-choice and long-answer questions. The Student demonstrated understanding of the poem's themes and practiced articulating detailed responses about cultural connection and identity. They worked on refining their answers with the Tutor's guidance, with further practice questions planned for a future session.
