Today’s Class Lecture:
9/29 – Tuesday – Homework –Surprise Quiz on Electrolytic Cells Thursday
1. We will have a quiz that will encompass both the voltaic and electrolytic cell on THURSDAY.
Tonight you will take an extra credit Form that will provide EXTRA POINTS for the quiz.
There will be no makeup. It is time to start putting this together and asking directed questions on points you do not understand. If you are sitting back and being pedestrian in this process it will not work for you.
Please use the following worksheet posted for the EXTRA Credit form posted below:
Extra Credit Form: IT IS NOT ON AUTO-REPLY – You have one submission for this form and I will grade and send you your answers tomorrow morning.
About the Microbial Electrolytic Cell in the Form above:
Natural gas has a dominant role in our energy supply. However, most of our natural gas is of fossil origin and therefore it is of utmost importance to have a renewable source of natural gas. Currently, the only renewable alternative to natural gas of fossil origin is to produce natural gas from biomass, e.g. organic waste, and crops. This alternative is of limited use, however, as land, water, and fertilizer, needed to produce the required biomass, are scarce and its use may not compete with food production. Here we propose a new technology that is capable of converting (excess) electricity and CO2 into methane (CH4), the main component of natural gas.
The points given back on the last electrolytic cell quiz will be determined the following:
Raw score | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 |
*Bonus Points | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
*So you need to get at least 4 correct answers (out of 13) to get 1 Bonus Point. If you got 13/13 you earned the max point = 10 points.
*If you do not need these point for the electrolytic cell quiz then you can keep them for another quiz.

DiFFraction of light demo – double slit experiment = green laser
Constructive and destructive interference patterns
These patterns can be observed to measure the distance of the 2 slits or the distance between openings in a crystal.
![]() |
The following is an example of an interference pattern that occurred during today’s demo. This is the famous double slit experiment that proves light has wave properties. I pointed a green laser at a card that had 2 small double slits. The bright spots are the constructive interference while the space between the dots are destructive interference. Based on some measured values and Bragg’s Law we can calculate the distance between the slits that the light passed through AND this is what is done to measure the distance of the lattice constant from metal crystals in x-ray crystallography. |

I have posted a video below on this worksheet if needed.
Period 2 students please complete all questions.
Period 4 students please do all questions EXCEPT QUESTION 2!
*Be for-warned that in my video FOR QUESTION 2, I did not have my calculator in degrees so my final answer to 2 is a bit off because I have the sin 45 to be .8509 when it should be .707. The handwritten key is correct. IN spite of me you can learn!
My key below is correct for question 2.
2: Study for TEST 1 – Later next week – I want to complete Lab 4 first.
Test 1 topics: –
Please go back the appropriate worksheets, keys,and lectures in the past 3 weeks to review the following concepts
1. Coloumbs Law:
No calculations with the formula but you should be aware how it applies to atoms ability to oxidize or reduce, solubility (why some ionic solids will dissolve in water while others do not or preciptate).
2. Voltaic Cell/galvanic cell
diagram, determining anode, cathode, charges, flow of electrons, salt bridge flow of ions, E0 calculation, use of reduction potential table, writing balanced half reactions and overall reactions, predicting the voltage change when concentrations change (Le Chateliers Principle), molarity (M), predicting precipitates that would lower the molarity of certain ions when they become solids, voltage vs current. Spontaneity and equilibrium, The U diagram.
3: Electrolytic Cell –
diagram and label all parts with flow of charge from a power source. Predict the products at each anode. Calculating the moles, molarity, or grams of the products using total time, amperage and Faradays constant.
Determining E0 cell, half reactions, overall reaction, spontaneity,
4: Unit Cell and alloys
basics of interstitial and substitutional alloys, calculations using density, lattice constant and atomic radii with FCC or BCC. Conversions, and use of avogodros number.
There is no need to memorize the conversion factors (pm, nm) or what the FCC or BCC looks like but you should be able to figure out how many atom exist in each FCC or BCC. You should be able to complete all conversions of all the worksheet and Lab (4).
5. Review your 2 graded quizzes. They keys are posted in the powerschool. I have posted some blank quizzes

Blue Team and Orange Team are remote Today.
The other classes today are completing the first part of Lab 3 – Electrolysis of copper (II) Chloride.
The Orange Team yesterday completed the first part of the lab.
The Blue Team will complete the first part of Lab 3 tomorrow.
I will not be doing a live teaching lesson today, thus there will be no Zoom STREAM today.
Blue Team:
1. Please complete Lab 2 – Voltaic cell STEM Lab –
You should have completed the a) TITLE PAGE – with names of people you are working with
b) Objectives Page –
c) Design Page – Completed diagram of battery
d) Reasoning – describe why you used the particular materials
e) RESULTS – Add the picture posted from Friday
Also add a percent error calculation
f) Conclusion – Explain with detail why your design did not live up
to your expectations.
Use the following resources to complete your conclusion:
Yesterday’s Class lecture: (start at 21:30)
Orange Team –
Please continue with Lab 3 calculations:
Yesterday you collected solid Cu from one of your electrodes.
– You measured the mass of your dry filter paper.
– I placed your sample in an oven to evaporate the water and dry your Cu and filter paper.
– I took your samples out of the oven and massed your Cu this morning.
Please use the pics of your measured samples to continue and compete the Lab:
The value below represent the experimental mass of the dry filter paper and Cu: #9 in your lab data
1. Complete #9 – #13 of the data section.
Under number 10 please show your work to complete the calculation of what mass you should expect at the cathode given YOUR TIME that the experiment ran and the average amperage that you kept the experiment.
You are starting with seconds ——> Coulombs —–> moles of electrons ——-> moles of Cu ——-> grams Cu
amps. Farady half reaction atomic
mass
This grams Cu represents YOUR theoretical value as if there was no errors! Put this value in number 11!
Calculate the percent error: experimental value – Theoretical value x 100 = percent error
Theoretical value
Using part of the calculation under number 10 please calculate the Molarity of the concentration of Cu+2 ions.
You need to solve for moles!!! (moles of Cu)
Remember that Molarity = moles of Cu (or Cu+2 ) / Liter of solution. Everyone had 100 ml of solution.
– We are assuming that we ran the experiment to completion.
We have completed all of these calculations before in all of the homework’s that were assigned. Review them if you need help with the calculations.
You can start the conclusion- ERROR ANALYSIS!!!!
The Lab is not due until I review it in class.
Please view your homework in the week 4 page!
