Hi, I am Chirani Lennon! Let’s navigate chemistry together. Let me know what is bothering you and I will let you in on the chemistry secrets!

Student and Tutor continued their study of acids and bases in Organic Chemistry. They reviewed Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis definitions, and practiced calculating pH for weak acids, weak bases, and buffer solutions using ICE tables and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The next session will focus on organic acids and bases, followed by a comprehensive revision class covering all previous topics.

Student and Tutor reviewed colligative properties, including vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure, interpreting their effects on phase diagrams. They practiced calculating molar mass, osmotic pressure, and boiling points for various solutions, applying the Van 't Hoff factor. The session concluded with a discussion on different types of mixtures, including suspensions and colloids, and a plan to begin the next chapter on kinetics in the following session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed key Chemistry concepts, including the definition and characteristics of solutions, the formation of ideal solutions, and the properties of strong and weak electrolytes. They then delved into solubility principles, factors affecting gas solubility in liquids (including Henry's Law), and colligative properties, practicing calculations for mole fraction, molality, vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and freezing point depression. The session concluded with an introduction to the Van't Hoff factor, and the Tutor assigned a review of osmotic pressure for the next class.

The Student's academic background and goals for college General Chemistry 1 were reviewed, including prior AP Chemistry experience and areas of difficulty. The Tutor presented a personalized teaching approach, outlining a comprehensive curriculum for Gen Chem 1 and proposing an accelerated learning path for the Student. The session concluded with practice on unit and temperature conversion problems, and a discussion about future scheduling and textbook/calculator recommendations.

Student and Tutor reviewed a comprehensive chemistry practice paper covering gas laws, acids and bases, redox reactions, and electrochemistry calculations. They discussed the student's answers, clarified specific concepts like strong/weak acids and electron transfer in redox, and outlined the curriculum for General Chemistry II, starting with solutions and colloids next week.

The Student and Tutor reviewed various General Chemistry topics, including balancing equations, stoichiometry, limiting reagents, empirical/molecular formulas, heat, and thermodynamics. They practiced numerous problems across these concepts, with the Tutor providing guidance on efficient problem-solving strategies for standardized tests. The session concluded with an introduction to entropy calculations, and the Tutor plans to send a new practice paper for the next session.
