Erone guided a student from Boca Raton through redox reactions, covering oxidation states and balancing redox equations in both acidic and basic conditions. The learner practiced assigning oxidation numbers and balancing half-reactions. Erone sent the whiteboard notes via Wingy chat for review, and they discussed the review material document for the unit.

Erone assisted Andy with a chemistry lab focused on reaction rates, guiding him through calculations to determine reactant concentrations and reaction orders. They worked through post-lab questions, addressing a data anomaly related to a chilled flask. They scheduled another session to work on graphing for other labs, and Andy plans to work on pre-lab calculations before their next meeting.

Erone assisted Andy with his acid-base titration lab, clarifying experimental procedures, data interpretation, and calculations related to pH and equivalence points. They addressed a typo in the lab instructions regarding the acid to be used (H3PO4 instead of H2SO3). Andy will use YouTube to learn how to graph the data and complete the lab report, which is due tonight.

Andy, guided by Erone, is performing virtual titrations of hydrochloric, phosphoric, and acetic acids with NaOH. Andy struggles with the procedure, including understanding volumes, pH changes, data recording, and determining the equivalence point. Erone clarifies the process, emphasizing small increments of NaOH addition, recording the added volume and pH, and using indicators to identify the endpoint. Andy gains confidence and they plan to continue the experiment.

Erone assisted Andy with an online chemistry lab concerning Le Chatelier's principle, focusing on interpreting video observations to complete tables and answer questions about equilibrium shifts and pH changes. Andy learned to analyze how adding specific ions affects equilibrium and to use provided data effectively. They scheduled a follow-up session on Friday to review the completed lab and discuss acid-base titrations.

Hannah and Erone are studying for a chemistry test. Erone helps a foggy-brained Hannah review key concepts like stoichiometry, unit conversions, empirical formulas, atomic mass calculations (using weighted averages), limiting reagents, and temperature conversions. Erone provides shortcuts and encouragement, while also briefly discussing Hannah's future academic goals.
