Chemistry and Answer Choices - What to Look For in Question Answers

Chemistry and Answer Choices - What to Look For in Question AnswersYou have completed the Chemistry chapter with some pretty good questions. Questions that seem fairly straightforward when you first read them can become more complicated with each passing test. But there is one factor to remember: each answer may not be correct. If a question seems too simple, it may be an indication that the wrong answer was given.And if you do receive the wrong answer, you will fail the test. It's as simple as that. If there is a discrepancy between what you know and what the test says, your answer should be changed or corrected. In chemistry, for example, you don't understand the mechanism of how a chemical element changes from one form to another; you just know it changes. So the correct answer to the question about an ionic compound is correct.Anytime you see a question on a test, you may not know the answer to, look at it closely. This means that the answer you select is the answer your test-tak er expected you to give. Answering the wrong question could mean you fail the test. If you truly think that what you know is the correct answer, go back and look for an alternative answer.Sometimes, tests make many different types of mistakes. They may make what looks like a simple mistake - all you have to do is ask a question and their eyes will pop out and they know what the answer is. It is not. This kind of mistake could be just as dangerous as going through the book knowing the answers.Tests that make mistakes are much more difficult to answer correctly. When the tests are so confusing, there is a better chance that they will just change your answer. Therefore, the most effective way to learn how to solve problems is to practice.Here is a basic how to test chemistry questions and answers format. There are eight sections in a chapter of the test, each of which has a specific problem. They are all based on a single fundamental chemistry concept. Then you are asked to write a sol ution to each problem.This process is a little different for each subject, but you should find a way to work it out on your own. Whatever you do, make sure you practice and review often.

Transitive Property of Equality Tutors

Transitive Property of Equality Tutors In mathematics, transitive property is the property which describes the relationship between variables based on logic statements of equality and inequality. There are two kinds of transitive properties, one for equality between variables and the other for inequality between variables. If there are three variables x, y, and z, and x is equal to y (x = y) and y is equal to z (y = z), then according to the Transitive property of equality, x is also equal to z (x = z). Example 1: Given PQR is a triangle, and the measure of side PQ is equal to the measure of side QR. If the measure of side QR is equal to the side PR, then what is the relation between sides PQ and PR? Given: side length of PQ= side length of QR Side length of QR= side length of PR Now to find the relationship between sides PQ and PR, we can use the Transitive property of equality. Hence, according to the property: side length of PQ= side length of PR Example 2: The price of chocolate cupcakes is the same as the price of vanilla cupcakes and the price of vanilla cupcakes is the same as strawberry cupcakes. Now, what is the price of chocolate cupcakes in comparison with the price of strawberry cupcakes? Given: price of chocolate cupcakes = price of vanilla cupcakes Price of vanilla cupcakes = price of strawberry cupcakes Now to compare the prices between chocolate and strawberry cupcakes, we can use the Transitive property of equality. Hence, according to the property: price of chocolate cupcakes = price of strawberry cupcakes!

How Well Do You Know Spanish 15 Ways to Test Yourself

How Well Do You Know Spanish 15 Ways to Test Yourself Suzy S. How much do you really know from your Spanish lessons or classes? While there are a few Spanish proficiency tests available online, theres an easier way to test yourself: simply ask yourself 15 practical questions. Read on as Fairfax, CA tutor  Jason N.  explains Learning Spanish can enhance your life in innumerable ways, such as having more competitive job opportunities, understanding Spanish films and poetry, and most importantly being able to form deep connections with people who only speak Spanish. Contrary to what many believe, you do not have to be young to learn a new language (although it helps). That said, learning a new language can be one of the most demanding goals you can conquer. The depth of practice necessary to root Spanish into the brain so that it sticks for the long-haul can discourage many Spanish learners, and they give up before they are able to see the fruits of their efforts. This article is about preventing that, by keeping the bigger picture in mind when faced with seemingly insurmountable roadblocks. You can think of the following questions as indicators of where you are, and that can point you in the right direction to get you “back on track” and not throw in the towel too soon. Each question follows a chronological order, and reflects a progressively more advanced command of Spanish. Effective language learning rewards persistence and repetition over a long time span. If you are reading this blog, you already learned one language, proving you can definitely learn another! 1) Can you sing the alphabet in Spanish?  This is key to understanding, spelling, and pronouncing basic Spanish. Most Spanish classes start here. I start here with my students who are new to the language. 2) Can you conjugate a verb, especially hablar or comer?  Without knowing how to conjugate verbs, we would not be able to form coherent sentences. Just like English, conjugating verbs is essential to learning Spanish. 3) Can you count to 100 in Spanish?  Numbers are key to a basic knowledge of a  language. 4) Can you differentiate between masculine and feminine nouns? Between ser and estar? Between por and para?  Unlike English, every noun in Spanish has a gender! Learning their genders is just as important as learning the noun. The same applies to the differences between ser and estar,  and por and para. 5) Can you routinely pluralize the articles and adjectives of any given noun?  Plurality tends to follow nouns around in Spanish, unlike in English. For example, in English, we say the red beautiful cars,” whereas in Spanish, we would say  Los carros bellos y rojos. 6) Do you struggle with Spanish without giving up or feeling lousy?  Struggling is where a lot of the learning happens, so be patient! Unfortunately, this is where many people give up. If you are being too hard on yourself when you haven’t learned a certain concept or word, pause and remember how difficult learning a new language is, by nature. 7) Is your vocabulary strong enough to order a meal or choose the correct bus or subway line without faltering? 8) Can you read an article in Spanish and get the general idea? 9) Can you formulate a complete sentence in Spanish? 10) Do you ever think in Spanish, or are you constantly translating words and phrases from English to Spanish in your head?  On your road to truly becoming proficient in Spanish, you should gradually start to think in that language. This can be as simple as “How are you?” ( ¿Cómo estás? in Spanish) to as intricate as “I wonder why the person sitting in front of me at the coffee shop drank three coffees, but still fell asleep?” ( ¿Por qué la persona en frente de mí quedó dormida después de tomar tres tazas de café?) If you’ve been practicing for years, but are still mentally translating, see this link to practice Spanish on mobile applications, or even better, work with a tutor regularly! 11) Can you listen, read, write, or speak for more than 20 minutes without feeling like your brain is on a frying pan?  Believe it or not, if you are a native English speaker, you once struggled to learn English as an infant and child. You were not always verbal. You have years, possibly decades, of English practice under your belt now. If you feel overwhelmed after practicing Spanish for 20 minutes, stop and take a breather. This is simply an indicator that you need more practice. 12) Can you watch a movie in Spanish without subtitles and not feel totally confused? 13) Do you dream in Spanish?  A language really begins finding its way into the core of your neutrons when it influences your unconscious mind and habits. When studying Spanish in Costa Rica in 2010, I had recurring dreams of my Costa Rican friends and classmates correcting my Spanish grammar and pronunciation as I spoke to them. This isn’t exactly the kind of dream I am referring to, but I still associate this with when I truly started to become fluent. This was the first time in my life where I was writing, reading, speaking, and listening to more Spanish than English on a daily basis. Ask anyone who has successfully learned Spanish as a second language, and he or she will have a similar story. 14) Do certain words or phrase come more readily available to your mind in Spanish, before English?  If you are listening, reading, speaking, or writing  in  Spanish frequently, you will know you’re doing well when you can think of the Spanish word or phrase before the English one every now and then. 15) Do you feel understood when you are in a context where only Spanish is used?   With language, you either use it or lose it. These questions are meant to motivate you! Six years ago, I knew fewer than 40 words in Spanish, and now I work primarily with Spanish-speakers in one job and teach Spanish in my other job. It’s a long-term process, and your efforts (although not always tangible immediately) will reap incredible benefits if you stick with it! Looking for a more interactive Spanish proficiency test?

French Verbs and Grammar Le Passé Antérieur

French Verbs and Grammar Le Passé Antérieur Sign up successful In English, this tense corresponds pretty closely to the past perfect, which in other words describes the past of the past. In English, it looks like this: 1) When I reached the end of the path, the sun had already set. 2) When the child began kindergarten, she had already studied cello for a year. The formation of this verb tense  bears some similarities to both the futur antérieur and the passé composé. As with both these tenses, the verb form will use an auxiliary verb (avoir or être) and a past participle. Select the auxiliary verb in the same way you would for the futur antérieur or passé composé. Conjugate this verb using the imparfait. As a review, here are their conjugations: Avoir Être J avais J étais Tu avais Tu étais Il / elle / on avait Il / elle / on était Nous avions Nous étions Vous aviez Vous étiez Ils / elles avaient Ils / elles étaient Now form the past participle of the main verb in the same way you would for the passé composé. So the full passé antérieur for one -er reflexive verb, one -ir verb, and one -re verb might look like this: se coucher â€" to go to bed or, for the sun, to set Je métais couché(e) Tu tétais couché(e) Il / elle / on sétait couché(e) Nous nous étions couché(e)(s) Vous vous étiez couché(e)(s) Ils / elles sétaient déja couché(e)s finir â€" to finish Javais fini Tu avais fini Il / elle / on avait fini Nous avions fini Vous aviez fini Ils / elles avaient fini rendre â€" to return Javais rendu Tu avais rendu Il / elle / on avait rendu Nous avions rendu Vous aviez rendu Ils / elles avaient rendu So how would the previous examples in English look in French? 1) Quand je suis arrivé(e) à la fin de la rue, la soleil sétait déjà couchée. (The extra “e” in arrivé(e) would depend on whether the speaker is male or female.) 2) Quand lenfant a commencé la maternelle, elle avait déjà étudié le violoncelle depuis un an. Try conjugating the verbs in the examples below in the passé antérieur. 1) Quand je suis venu à la fête, mon frère ______________________ (partir). 2) Quand elle sest couchée, la fille ______________________ (finir) ses devoirs. 3) Quand la bibliothèquaire a appellé, j ______________________ (rendre) le livre. 4) Quand tu es rentré, nous ______________________ (se coucher). Now check your answers below: 1) était parti 2) avait fini 3) avais rendu 4) nous sommes couché(e)s (Add the extra “e” only if all the people included by “nous” are female.) How did you do? Either way, keep practicing and checking yourself! Keep an eye out also for uses by other people, and for opportunities to use it in conversation. Correct repetitions, practice, and listening to others use it correctly will help you learn to use this conjugation naturally. Of course, having the right teacher will propel your success in French even farther! Post Author:  Carol Beth L. Carol Beth teaches  French lessons in San Francisco, CA.

5 Delightful Jazz Guitar Licks - Tabs and Audio

5 Delightful Jazz Guitar Licks - Tabs and Audio Madalyn Danielson Having a few guitar licks up your sleeve is super helpful when youre improvising. Guitar teacher  Samuel B.  shares a few of his favorite jazz guitar licks Before we begin playing these jazz guitar licks, its a good idea to get familiar with the pentatonic scale. The pentatonic scale is a more versatile and useful scale than you might think. While being an easily-recognized basis for blues, rock, and country solos, it can be (and frequently is) a scale used  for jazz solos, too. Adding a few accidentals (notes other than the baseline ones indicated below) can make for some memorable moments in jazz guitar licks. Ive heard jazz called  â€œthe American classical music,” and heres why I agree: its chord structures are more complex than those in blues, rock, and country. Sixth, ninth, eleventh, augmented, and diminished chords are all common to it. Solo jazz guitar licks  feature a level of intricacy comparable to that of their chord counterparts. Here are a few tricks guaranteed to spice up any pentatonic-based jazz solo. Lick One The first of these jazz guitar licks  covers the segment between the fifth through eighth frets. Notes 2, 5, and 12 are the only ones foreign to the scale itself: document.createElement('audio'); /blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Lick-One.mp3 Lick Two The next one is grounded in the second-through-fifth-fret territory. It features three open-string notes and only one otherwise “outsider” (the note thats both ninth and twelfth): /blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Lick-Two.mp3 Lick Three Lick three is a different animal entirely. Its plucked with an open hand (not a pick) and is based on notes comprising a moving triad. As indicated, the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth notes are pairs (not single notes) and are played simultaneously with the thumb and index finger. The remaining ones can be played with an index-and-middle-finger alternation: /blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Lick-Three.mp3 Lick Four Like the first two, the fourth and fifth jazz guitar licks are based once again on pentatonic segments (the highest and the lowest ones respectively). /blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Lick-Four.mp3 Lick Five While the fourth lick  involves four accidentals (the second, fifth, ninth, and eleventh notes to be exact), this fifth lick is comprised entirely of notes that are pentatonic: /blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Lick-Five.mp3 As seen above, these five jazz guitar licks are intricate and unique creations that can make any jazz guitar solo an instant hit. Learning the pentatonic scale on the guitar is essential for jazz guitar licks, and once you do, you can apply it to other genres, as well. Be creative, have fun, and if youre looking for further practice with your jazz guitar, ask your guitar teacher to help you out with  some new moves and grooves! Post Author:  Samuel B.

What Is Baroque Art And How Can I Recognise It

What Is Baroque Art And How Can I Recognise It Art History: The Art Movement Lead By The Catholic Church Chapters10 Characteristics And Ideas Of The Baroque StyleThe Most Well Known Baroque ArtistsA Well Known Piece Of Baroque ArtLet's take a step back in time to the period of 1530 when religious tensions were in the air. The very fabric of society was changing and being reshaped by religious leaders from the protestant and the Catholic faiths. The protestants had openly challenged the  Catholic church with religious reforms which threatened Catholic power.   As protestant religion grew in popularity, the Catholic church wanted to define and reestablish its dominance, which lead to a counter reform being created.A part of this counter-reform included the commissioning of art and from this Baroque was born. The Art of the Baroque era was built upon the renaissance style and was a direct movement away from the simple tastes of the protestants. The Catholic church inspired and commissioned in large part this new art movement. Which started in Rome and spread like wildfire across Europe, w ith churches and religious leaders being it primary patrons. The art of the Baroque period was fuelled with richness, grandeur, vibrancy, flamboyance and extravagance.The art was to follow guidelines that depicted religious objects and scenes from the bible. But only scenes that were exclusive to the Catholic church such as the immaculate conception, the assumption of the virgin etc. While artists had some creative authority, they also had to follow a strict set of guidelines as approved by the counter-reform council. These guidelines had to adhere to the Catholic vision for this creative propaganda.According to Wikipedia, the name ‘Baroque’ was inspired by the Portuguese term Barroco, which means a flawed pearl. However, some scholars argue that it more likely comes from the Italian word ‘Barocco’ meaning an obstacle to logic. Where ever the name stemmed from in both cases the word had negative connotations. But eventually, it lost its meaning and came to be known only as o f the name of an art movement.Popular from the late 1500s to early 1700s, Baroque art can be described as both beautiful and imperfect. It can be seen expressed in Baroque painting, Baroque architecture, Baroque music, Baroque Opera, Baroque literature, Baroque dance and Baroque sculpture.Let's take a step back in time to the period of 1530.

Figures can be seen from all angles as they rose out of the centre of the pieces and reaching into the empty space. Further blurring the lines between art and reality.Baroque pieces are emotional and dramatic, meant to dazzle and surprise viewers. Its realism in paintings gives the impression of looking in on a scene that is happening.Compositions are made thoughtfully to give the maximum dramatic effect and aim to blur the lines between reality, art and spirituality.Learn more from an art tutor on Superprof.The style that join ed all works is that of implied flowing movement.

He moved to Rome to follow his passion for painting and after selling his art on the streets for a few years. His talent was finally rewarded when he gained his first patrons. After which he gained fame quickly and painted for highly esteemed patrons.Well known for using the chiaroscuro (light and dark) technique to add drama to his images. Caravaggio's work was as dramatic as his life story, which is one of fame, riches, fighting, jail, murder, knighthood, and evading the law.

Immediately you are invited into the image with incredibly clever composition. The space at the edge of the table is where you stand as you have been invited to dine.The story is that Christ has been crucified and his disciples are walking along the road they are joined by another man. They all sit down to ea t when the man who had joined them, breaks the bread and is revealed to be Christ resurrected. The painting shows this point of surprise and drama, the entire painting draws you in with the hands of Christ and the disciple reaching out to us, the fruit bowl hangs on the corner of the table bursting into out reality.

Whether you like Baroque art or not, it is hard to deny its beauty and twisted perfection. Albeit that the purpose of the movement was fundamentally Catholic propaganda to establish power over the protestants.Looking at some of the pieces discussed above, you can see their power to tell a story. To evoke emotion, communicate a message and draw you into a different way of seeing things. Ostentatious or beautiful? That is in the eye of the beholder.Do you know that Impressionism has light brushstrokes and Expressionism also has similar brush strokes?

A Student Review of Fordham University

A Student Review of Fordham University Seun earned her bachelors degree in English and communications from Fordham University. She specializes in history tutoring, IB tutoring, and a number of other subjects. Below, she shares her experience at Fordham University: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Seun: I attended Fordham Universitys Lincoln Center campus. It was the epitome of urban. The building is located in the center of Manhattanwhere Central Park begins and near major performing arts centers. You have easy access to the Fordham University Bronx Rose Hill campus via the Ram Van, which drives students to the larger campus in about 15 minutes if there is no heavy traffic. The Rose Hill campus has a more traditional college look, with an enclosed campus that has lots of grassy areas and beautiful architecture. At both campuses, theres easy access to public transportation. The Lincoln Center campus, however, provides more train and bus options. Safety can be a concern, only because youre in the city and things may happen nearby. But, the security guards go above and beyond to make sure students are kept safe. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Seun: It depends. I would suggest that, for any college, the student has to be more proactive to get advice from teaching and advisory staff. Make appointments regularly and dont be afraid to follow up with questions via email or phone. Professors obviously love to see students actively engaged with materials for their classes, so it will only work to your benefit if you are consistently seeking ways to have your voice heard both inside and outside of the classroom. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Seun: Unfortunately, I was a commuter student, so I did not live in the dorms. I did hear amazing things from those who lived on campus, though. The dorms were especially nice (practically apartment quality). I think living on campus provides a chance to build deeper bonds with your fellow classmates. Truth be told, I wasnt fond of the food on campus, but youre in NYC, so there are plenty of options off campus for you to enjoy. Lastly, its NYC! Entertainment is everywhere and available at any time. Make the most of it! Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Seun: I think the business school was the best represented area, and those who were enrolled in that program seemed to feel most supported by staff. Thats probably the same on any college campus; business involves a lot of networking events and professional development outside of the classroom. I studied English and communications, because I love to write and aspired to work in media creating innovative content for TV. Fordham has a stellar record of media professionals graduating from its school. However, I think I could have benefited from some more guidance on how to navigate my field. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Seun: I started Fordham as a transfer during my sophomore year. If youre shy, it can be daunting to meet people and develop close friendships. Living on campus definitely helps, and finding a club that fits with your interests will hopefully bring you out of your shell. There wasnt any Greek life on campus at Fordham, though. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Seun: Many reputable companies were definitely recruiting through our career center. Again, you have to be proactive in taking advantage of whatever resources are available. Its there, but its only as good as the work you put toward it. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Seun: The library at Lincoln Center was much smaller in comparison to the Rose Hill campus library. I would recommend going to the Rose Hill campus in the Bronx if you canmuch easier to find a quiet space to yourself. Describe the surrounding town. Seun: My campus was at Columbus Circle in Manhattan. A very exciting place to be with much to offer students. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Seun: Lincoln Centers student body was smaller for obvious reasons. However, the crowd was diverse, and you get more face time with professors due to the class sizes being much smaller than usual college classes. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Seun: I will always remember how dedicated two of my communications professors were in making sure I found internship opportunities that would set me up for success in the future. Im still in touch with them now and consider them to be great, close friends. Check out Seuns tutoring profile.

Difference between EVERY and EACH - Learn English Grammar Rules

Difference between EVERY and EACH - Learn English Grammar Rules My students would like to know what is the difference between EVERY  and EACH. So I am very happy to write a post on this aspect of the English Grammar. Both EACH  and EVERY  are determiners, words which come with singular nouns to indicate quantity.  EACH  and EVERY  are very similar in meaning and often it is possible to use both:For example  â€" This hotel is ideal, every/each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. Difference between Every and Each We use EVERY in English:When we refer to the group as a whole as EVERY is closer in meaning to ALLEx. Every route has a real time departure information.After a possessiveEx. She listened to his every word.With some abstract nouns to draw attention that something is correct or necessaryEx. Your sister had every right to say this.I have every reason to give up that job.With plural nouns in phrases of frequencyEx. I go to the gym every two days.With adverbs almost, nearly, just about, practicallyEx. You are late almost every day! When to Use Each and Every in English Enjoyed this infographic? Here’s what you can do next: We use EACH in English:As a pronoun with of + nounEx. Each of them has been told to wait.As a pronoun on its ownEx. Five athletes took part in this competition, and each was determined to win. (each one or each of them is more common though)After nouns or pronouns for emphasisEx. They each brought a friend with them. Please note Expression EACH AND EVERY is a fixed collocation meaning “every single” (used for emphasis).

Critical Reasoning Jamboree - Private Tutoring

Critical Reasoning Jamboree Critical Reasoning Jamboree BobbiM Jan 17, 2014 Critical Reasoning Jamboree Okay, our goal at PrivateTutoringAtHome.com is to help parents, students, and tutors alike be super successful. We know many of you are shaking in your boots as you prepare for the ACT and SAT and GED and GMAT and LSAT, and any other acronym standardized test you can think of. So, in honor of the standardized test, well be posting 1 question and answer this whole month and the focus will be on critical reasoning. Deal? Good. So join us daily for some seriously yummy critical reasoning buffet. Critical Reasoning Question 1 In Los Angeles, a political candidate who buys saturation radio advertising will get maximum name recognition. The statement above logically conveys which of the following? A. Radio advertising is the most important factor in political campaigns in Los Angeles. B. Maximum name recognition in Los Angeles will help a candidate to win a higher percentage of votes cast in the city. C. Saturation radio advertising reaches every demographically distinct sector of the voting population in Los Angeles. D. For maximum name recognition a candidate need not spend on media channels other than radio advertising. E. A candidates record of achievement in the Los Angeles area will do little to affect his or her name recognition there. Think you know the answer? The correct answer is D. An L.A. political candidate who buys saturation radio advertising will get maximum name recognition. In other words, such advertising is sufficient for maximum name recognition. If so, then is must be true that, as (D) says, a candidate can get such recognition without spending on other forms of media. (A) suggests that radio advertising is the most important factor in L.A. political campaigns, but nothing like this was mentioned in the stimulus, so its not something that you can infer. Nor were we told the specific results of attaining a maximum name recognition, so (B) is out. Similarly, we dont know precisely what is meant by saturation radio advertising, so we cant infer anything as detailed as (C). Finally, although we know saturation radio advertising is sufficient for getting maximum name recognition, we cant infer that other things, such as candidates record mentioned in (E), have little effect on name recognition. When I answered this question, I thought the answer was either B or C. Knowing both these answers were incorrect, helps me to understand that I need to work on assuming details not given.
