- learning test-taking strategies
- reviewing the content that the test covers

I am offering the test preparation course at two different times (each track will cover the same material). See below.

Track 1 will meet in person in Eden Prairie. Track 2 will meet over zoom. If none of the dates listed below work for you and you are still interested in the class, please contact me through the contact form and we can try to work something out.

Track 1 will meet for two two-hour sessions. Each session will cover two sections of the ACT.
It will meet on Thursday mornings from 10 am to noon.
Dates: May 23 and May 30
Location: Eden Prairie

Track 2 will meet for two two-hour sessions. Each session will cover two sections of the ACT.

New Worksheet - Chemistry - Ideal Gas Law and Stoichiometry

Directions: Using the ideal gas law and stoichiometry, solve the following problems.

PV = nRT
P stands for pressure in atmospheres
V stands for volume in liters
n stands for the number of moles
R stands for the Universal Gas Constant (0.0821 L atm / mol K)
T stands for temperature in Kelvin

K = ÂșC + 273
760 torr = 760 mmHg = 101.3 kPa = 1 atm

Use the following reaction to answer the questions below:
CH4 (l) + 2 O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

Problem 1
If 8.00 moles of CH4 are burned, what volume of oxygen is needed if the pressure is 0.957 atm, and the temperature is 68.0°C?
Answer: ________________

Problem 2
How many grams of water would be produced if 16.8 liters of oxygen were burned at a temperature of -31.0°C and a pressure of 1.51 atm?
Answer: ________________

Problem 3
If you burned one gallon of CH4 (approximately 1760 grams), how many liters of carbon dioxide would be produced at a temperature of 15.3°C and a pressure of 1.21 atm?
Answer: ________________

Problem 4
How many liters of oxygen would be needed to produced 26.0 liters of carbon dioxide if the temperature and pressure for both are 37.0°C and 1.99 atm?
Answer: ________________
