Don’t forget to turn in your response to the opening essay. I do not have a large number of students responding just yet. This is a little worrisome since these are the first grades you will be getting in AP Chem.

Hey Mr. Holt!
Week 1 Assignments:
—July 8—
After reading the essay, “Out of Gas!”, I would first like to make a formal statement that it would completely suck if the plane I was on ran out of fuel… I would be pretty upset hahaha. Anywhoo, after reading this essay, I now realize the importance of labeling all units. I have always done it as a means to ensure that my grade would not get marked down because I didn’t use units, but now I realize that in the real world, not using units can be quite dangerous and can to lead to huge problems. I will now, forever, use units!
(1) 248.6 Kelvin
(2) 26.9 Kelvin
hey mr. holt, sorry, i’ve been gone since July 13th for a summer history class in D.C., I just got back on the 27th and I’ve been trying to keep up with the reading, but i didn’t have an internet connection there to check the blog. I read the opening essay and I realized that even professionals mess up conversion units sometimes so you have to be really careful to make sure you always have the correct units.
melting point=24.55k
boiling point=27.05
