in this lesson we recieved our first results of our corrosion practical. the result are as i expected with the liquid substances making more change than the gas and solid substances that are put together with the nail. here are the results as follow:

 testube 1-nail by it self- no rust, nail stayed the same

 testube 2-nail and water: a lot of rusting, the rust did not just cover the nail but also most of the bottomg bit of the tube.

testube 3- oil and water: a little bit of rusting enough to cover most of the nail 

testube 4-naile and silica gel- no rust stayed the same, but i predict to see change in teh following days.

today we did more practicals; they were pretty easy. we did 2 practicals one was decomposition where we waited to see the reaction of lime water and nickel carbonate and combution in which we burned magnesium

Todays lesson, we did 2 practicals, one being combustion and the other decomposition. In completing the combustion practical we had to burn magnesium which was easy but decomposition was a pretty complicated task due to the fact that there was a chance of the testtube burning which meant danger because the glass would crack and then the chemical inside will spread and might harm us. but through the whole practical i found it to be a very fun lesson

Our new project is about safety in a lab and how we can increase safety awareness around a lab especially with new employees the lab. We are also required to research, plan and perform 10 chemicl reactions given to us and when we finish we are required to make a report based on our observation and experience.

 I think that i am going to do better and work better through this project because i find it more interesting and my group is trying to stay ahead of what we are doing.

In todays class we did two experiments based on chemical reactions. Corrosion and precipitation experiments are currently being done and results will be recorded.

1)i would change the way our group worked due to the fact that we did not have any communication or group cooperation.

2) only one topic this project we had elements

3)i should look back to this project.

4)i think john lahoud presentation skills because he showed all the qualities u would look for in a public speaker.
