School Science concept taught by Tanya
Tanya and Darlene discussed acid-base chemistry, focusing on quantifying acid strength using Ka and pKa values, and factors affecting acidity like atomic size, electronegativity, and hybridization. Darlene practiced ordering compounds by acidity. They agreed to continue the discussion on conjugate bases, resonance, and inductive effects in the next session on Sunday at 4:30.
Conjugate Bases
Hybridization and Acidity
Periodic Trends in Acidity
Factors Affecting Acidic Strength
Tanya is tutoring Darlene in Bronsted-Lowry acid-base chemistry. She covers proton donors/acceptors, conjugate acid-base pairs, reaction mechanisms (electron movement), relative acid/base strengths, and how these factors influence equilibrium in reactions. They work through examples and practice problems, focusing on identifying acids, bases, and predicting reaction direction.
Identifying Strong vs. Weak Acids
Equilibrium and Reaction Favorability
Strength of Conjugate Pairs
Acids and Bases - Bronsted-Lowry Concept
Tanya Gupta tutored Darlene Thieu on resonance structures, formal charges, and chemical bonding, including identifying ionic, polar covalent, and non-polar covalent bonds. Darlene practiced applying stability rules to resonance structures and determining bond types in various molecules. Tanya assigned practice problems for determining molecular formulas and scheduled the next session for Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Molecular Formula Writing
Non-Polar Covalent Bonds
Covalent vs. Ionic Bonds
Polar Covalent Bonds
Tanya is tutoring Zoila in chemistry, covering heat calculations (including phase changes, unit conversions, and cooling curves), acid/base chemistry (KW, concentration, strength), and intermolecular forces (dispersion, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding). Tanya emphasizes using correct formulas, paying attention to units, and understanding the underlying concepts. The tutoring session concludes with Tanya explaining hydrogen bonding using hydrazine as an example and asking Zoila for a recommendation.
Heating Curve Calculations
Hydrogen Bonding
Intermolecular Forces
Strong vs. Weak Acids/Bases
Tanya tutored Zoila on stoichiometry and gas laws, including balancing equations, mole conversions, the ideal gas law, and Dalton's law of partial pressures. They practiced manometer/barometer pressure calculations and energy calculations for phase changes, specifically determining the energy needed to boil water, and scheduled another session.
Ideal Gas Law
Molar Volume at STP
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
Combustion Reactions
Darlene and Tanya collaborated on an organic chemistry problem set, concentrating on resonance structures, formal charges, hybridization, and geometry. Tanya clarified hybridization rules for carbon atoms with negative charges or free radicals. They intend to continue their studies in the next session.
