Baby Monkey Going Backwards on a Pig

What a great day in 7th period chem. Arguably the best day of the year. It started out with a discussion about the english mini field trip. Summarized to be "the english teachers needed three periods to assign a project that we all knew we had." Once all of our shenanigans ended, the real chemistry began. We discussed the concept that pressure and temperature both effect solubility.
Container A is under normal pressure and therefore has a normal solubility. Container B is under high pressure and therefore has a higher solubility.
As this graph shows, when the temperature increases, so does the solubility. It is the opposite effect for gases in solution. Ce2(SO4)3 is a hipster.

We then discussed saturation. When the solubility is even with the line on the graphs, the solution is saturated. When there is less solubility than possible, the solution is under saturated. Super saturation comes when a solution is saturated at one temperature, and then is cooled down. This video shows what happens when a super saturated solution is agitated.
This is a video of a baby monkey riding backwards on a pig.

Remember to do the lab. And keep up with your webassigns.
Nicole C can do the next post. Your welcome Nicole.
