Been decades since ...

O, apologies to the teachers since I didn't update my chemistry blog for ages ( didn't even know that it existed if not to be reminded by someone ). Ok back to business.




So I can say i did fairly good for my written paper since for the mock examination i scored 13/45 but this time round for the promos, i got 36/80. which is an E but :D yea vast difference but i still believe there's room for some improvement. Regretting the fact that I didn't take my homework seriously and almost failed chemistry due to that reason. Yeap more difficult/brain-teasing topics up ahead so, gotta work extra harder.




When the new terms starts we were exposed to 2 new topics so far, Ideal Gas and Energetics. For the topic Ideal Gas, some definitions and understandings are required such as, assumption that the collisions between gas particles are elastic. And the most important formula Pv = NRT. Other than that it's either applications of the formula into questions or the sketching of graphs when comparing different units of the formula. Another memorizing topic since I can't find any understanding in it. Energetics, even the name is self described how hard the topic's going to be, but luckily its linked to our previous o-level topic ( Endo/Exothermic energy ). So far TanDude and Miss.Jee are drilling the basic foundations of the topic in our brains so that when we are approaching the topic it be much more easier for us. Basically we are required to memorize what type of Enthalpy(heat content) change the reaction is and its accompanying chemical equation with state symbols. For example Standard Enthalphy change of Neutralization -> NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H20. So basically I'm trying to point out that things are going to get even more difficult that before and we don't really have any more time to be fooling around. So guys let's dig our grave in advance :D




Peace,
Kensei.
