Stoichiometry Friday

I'm posting this before class today because I am leaving town immediately following class. We will continue talking about stoichiometry, including limiting reagents and theoretical yields. I know this is going to sound familiar, but stoichiometry is all about practice, so start working on these things early and often.

There is a new MC assignment posted, due Monday.

Although Chem 150L is a separate course, I'll also take this opportunity to post a couple notes/reminders about lab.
1. Next week is the safety exam, be sure to review your notes and the PowerPoints of the safety lectures.
2. A few people still didn't have proper notebooks or goggles, make sure you have all of the required materials for lab. Also, writing in a lab notebook in pencil is not appropriate, regardless of the type of notebook you are using. Lab notebooks (for any class, not just chemistry) are intended to be a record of your activities in lab and are used to document any discoveries you make. These records should be kept in a manner more permanent than pencil.
3. With the nice weather this week, a number of people were wearing inappropriate footwear this week. You should only wear closed-toed shoes/boots to lab, no sandals, flip-flops, etc.

If you're looking for things to do (besides practicing stoichiometry problems) this weekend, there are a couple things I'm aware of:
1. The MSUM Volleyball team is at home Friday (7pm, vs. Bemidji) and Saturday (4pm, vs. UM-Duluth) at Nemzek.
2. The MSUM Soccer team is at home Saturday (11am, vs. Winona) and Sunday (1pm, vs. Upper Iowa), the soccer field is across the street north of the football field.
3. West Fest is happening this weekend in West Fargo, it's a community fair type event with a parade, car show, and other activities. For more info:

If anyone has other events or activities, post a comment. Have a good weekend.
