Chem 12: Thurs Mar 12 - Solubilities

 Today we covered quite a bit of material, but most of it was review from Chem 11: we defined solubility in terms of equilibrium at saturation, calculated solubility [ ]'s, and then after break we looked at low solubility combinations and precipitates. We had a couple of J.o.W questions, and then you had some practice: pg. 76 #3 - 7, pg. 77 #8 -17, pg. 83 #21,22,24, and pg. 87 #25. Do what you need to master this stuff!
