1. Answer the following questions due **4/13**: Iodine (I2) is only sparingly soluble in water. In the presence of potassium iodide, a source of iodide (I-), iodine reacts to form triiodide (I3-) ions according to the following reactions:

I2(s) ←→ I2(aq)

I2(aq) + I-(aq) ←→ I3-(aq)

Use LeChatelier’s Principle to explain why the solubility of iodine in water increases as the concentration of potassium iodide increases.

2. Dissolving ammonium chloride in water is an endothermic reaction. Use LeChatelier’s principle to predict whether ammonium chloride will be more soluble in hot or cold water.

NH4Cl(s) +heat ←→ NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

The numbers are subscripts word document for problems:

__Complete the rest of the problems on the activity 4-3 worksheet__ **11/17** The answer key is provided for you to check your work, not for you to copy to get the assignment done. Copying will do you no good and you will most likely get a low score on the quiz Wednesday if you do. What I suggest is complete the worksheet, check the solutions and try to figure out any questions you got wrong. If you can't figure out why the correct answer is what it is, that is a good question to ask in class.

__Chemistry Around Us__ **9/4 Chemistry Around Us** Chemistry and the scientific method start by making observations of the world around us. These observations lead to questions that the chemist would like to have answered. Once these questions have been asked, the chemist predicts, or hypothesizes, an explanation of her or his observations. Then the chemist goes to the lab and experiments to either confirm or exclude the hypothesis. This process of observation, question, hypothesis, and experimentation is the generic process for any scientific study. Your assignment is to make observations of the world around you and come up with questions about your observations. Here are a couple of examples to give a little guidance:

Observation: A nuclear power plant provides electricity. Question: How does a nuclear power plant generate electricity?

Observation: Salt is added to the roads during the winter to help with traction. Question: Why is salt added to the roads during the winter months?

Since this is a chemistry course, try to come up with questions that probably have a chemical answer. (“Why is the sky blue” is a good question, but the answer is found in physics and not chemistry).

Your assignment is to find four sets of observations and questions about the world around you that could possibly be answered with chemistry. Be creative, the questions can be as big as how a power plant works to as practical as why salt is used on icy roads.
