Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm up 12/19/13 • Question: How many molecules are in a mole of water? • Answer: • 6.02 x1023 molecules. • Goal: I will learn to classify reactions.

  2. ELEMENT OF THE DAY • 46 – Palladium – Pd • Palladium, like gold, can be pounded into thin sheets less than 1,000 atoms thick. • Palladium is also used in catalytic converters, which turn unburned fuel into CO2 and water, making exhaust much cleaner. • Solid palladium metal can actually absorb hydrogen. The crystal lattice of palladium atoms leaves enough space for hydrogen atoms to get into the empty spaces.

  3. Bellwork • Classifying reactions notes • practice • Homework • Pg27-30 • Traditions day TOMORROW Agenda
