The Making of our Biodiesel

My partner and I started making our bio-diesel and used the clean oil for the construction instead of the used Chick-fil-a oil. our mindset was that since it was cleaner the oil would burn hotter making our future boat run faster. Unfortunately, the solo cups we stored our biodiesel in disintegrated and all that was left was a mess that Mrs. Frankenberg had to clean. All hope is not yet lost. We know our biodiesel would have rocked based on our test burn.

Biodiesel Project

Today and all the next week we will be in the library computer lab working on our Bio diesel project. Unfortunately my partner wont be able to attend school so i will have to figure out a approach to our video and hope that we can finish in time. overall i'm excited about this project and hope to win the top prize.

Unit test

Although i studied for the test the whole week and understood the terminology and the mathematical side of it, i did poorly on the test next time i might look on quizlet for more practice. I have put links down below of what i would think are helpful.

Lewis Structures

Lewis structures are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. Depending on the chemical make up of that bond, the Lewis structure may be different. Some Lewis structures appear flat such as the bond of water today we went to the library to draw Lewis structures on the dry erase tables.

All Shapes and Sizes

A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between atoms with opposite charges, or through the sharing of electrons as in the covalent bonds.
much of what we studied in class was the way the chemical bonds formed and the shapes they created below is a chart of the shapes bonds form

Energy Levels Change the Color

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels.
When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy.
3
The wavelength (colour) of the light depends on the difference in the two energy levels.
2
We can see only those transitions that correspond to a visible wavelength.
In a hydrogen atom, for example, we can see only the transitions from higher levels to n = 2 .

This is our lab activity that we measured absorbency and and transmitted. This lab was long and extensive but overall was very informative. I enjoyed how simply the procedure was and doing stuff on excel.
