Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus of Organic Chemistry

Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus of Organic ChemistryIn the second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus of Organic Chemistry, you have a thorough knowledge of topics such as vapor pressure, absolute values, density, and area, and the expressions for these are easy to remember. Just remember, in organic chemistry you can't figure out something simple. You also learn the exact values of your variables as well as the relationships between them.To learn about vapor pressure, all you need to do is multiply the volume of the material that you are working with by the mass of the gas or solvent. Then you have the values for the column pressure. Now, to calculate the vapor pressure, you need to multiply the vapor pressure of the solvent by the volume.Volume of Solution is another number that you should be familiar with. The quantity of molecules in the system, and the volume of the water you have. If you divide this by the number of molecules then you will find out the molecular weight. This will give you the mass of the molecules.To determine the absolute value of a point on a graph, you can use the surface area to volume ratio. This formula is important because the area to volume ratio is used for many things in science. It is also useful to find the height and width of things.Density is a term that you will hear often in organic chemistry. It relates to how much water a substance takes up and when you talk about water, you are talking about the type of liquid that is found in plants and animals. The density is what determines how much it takes to get to each individual molecule of water.The boiling point of any substance can be found by dividing the density by the melting point. The density of a substance is important for a number of different things. For example, if you are trying to figure out the molecular weight of something then you need to know the density. For example, if you try to find the molecular weight of the molecules of an element that is known as a n oble gas, you will need to know the density.Of course, you are not going to cover all the topics in organic chemistry in one day. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. When you understand these terms, you will begin to understand chemistry more. With more experience and information, you will be able to get even more advanced on your own.

3 Important Study Skills for College Students

3 Important Study Skills for College Students Suzy S. Ready for college? Make sure your study skills are on track with these tips from Honolulu tutor Jinan B... Doing well in college is often a balancing act: you are learning so many new things, being exposed to new ideas and people, making friends, and having fun. Having good study skills will ensure that you both succeed in your classes and also make the most of your study time, so you also have time to experience the many other facets of life that college offers. As a professor at a large university, here are some tips I offer my students to enhance their study skills for college. 1. Confusion is good. That’s right, I said it. College is a time of great exploration, and learning requires making errors and experimenting. The key is to use any confusion you encounter as a jumping off point for digging deeper into the material. Welcome confusion as a chance to understand something more profoundly instead of becoming frustrated and giving up. College is an opportunity to develop a true sense of curiosity in learning, rather than simply memorizing material. You can also use confusion as a stimulus to engage and get to know your professor. As a professor, I am always appreciative when students bring me challenging questions with the desire to further their knowledge and understanding. It is also very clear to me that students are deeply invested in learning the material if they visit me during office hours to discuss any questions they have about the material. 2. Make use of all the resources you have. Colleges and universities offer an incredible network of support to students. This includes librarians, study skills centers, teaching assistants, and other students. Consider these individuals part of your path of learning, and you will reap great benefits from their advice, knowledge, and experiences. If you’re struggling with an assignment, reach out to another student or the teaching assistant in the class to troubleshoot. If you’re studying for an exam and don’t know how to approach the huge amount of material, sign up for a session at the study skills center. Or, perhaps you’re writing a paper and need help finding rich source material; check in with the librarian who may have excellent ideas for how to locate good materials. You can also find a private tutor to help you. 3. Study for the midterm and final from day one of the class. By learning the material in an organized, methodical way you will be in very good shape when exam time rolls around. Most college students wait until the last minute and then try to cram a few days before exams, but if you put in a few minutes a day of focused learning, you will be much better able to learn large amounts of material. When you are reading the assigned material, make it a point to write down the key ideas. This is one of the best study skills for college students to establish, as your notes will serve not only as a study guide later, but also as a way to concretize your understanding by writing the ideas in your own words. This makes you an active learner rather than simply passively reading the material. If you’re having trouble finishing the reading assigned for all of your classes, consider taking a speed reading class, which may be offered at your study skills center. Remember, college is a unique experience, so make the most of it by studying efficiently so you can both succeed and have time for extracurricular activities as well. With these tips, you will be poised to learn, succeed, and enjoy the journey! Jinan B. tutors in Life Science in Honolulu, HI.

Using Would and Used to in English Video and Exercise

Using Would and Used to in English Video and Exercise English language learners are often unsure about using would and used to to express past times, so they rarely use them.  If you are an English language learner and you want your speech and writing to sound more natural, learning how to use would and used to for past times will help a lot.Here is an example of a past story by an English language learner:When I was a teenager I went to heavy metal concerts every weekend. I picked up my friends and we took a taxi to the stadium. We saw a different band every weekend. We went to eat after the concert and we arrived home early the next morning around 3 or 4 am. The next day we always slept until 1 in the afternoon. Then we ate Sunday dinner with our family. That was a good time in my life.Now here is that same paragraph but told like a native English language speaker:When I was a teenager I used to go to heavy metal concerts every weekend. I would pick up my friends and wed take a taxi to the stadium. Wed see a different band every week end. Normally wed go eat after the concert. Wed usually get home early the next morning around 3 or 4 AM. The next day wed sleep until 1 in the afternoon and then wed eat Sunday dinner with our family. That was a good time in my life.Notice that the story is introduced by  used to and then the subsequent actions are using would.There are times that would is incorrect in the past:When I was a child I would hate onions. NO. We must only use would in the past for ACTIVE verbs. Confused? Watch the video below and do the exercises.Rewrite the exercises using would or used to. Write your answers in comments, and well respond.1. When I was young I went to my grandmothers farm every summer.2. When I was first married I made breakfast for my husband every morning.3. My husband didnt like eggs for many years.4. She worked at IBM for many years before retiring.5. You ate here a lot during your first year at university. Olga 1. When I was young I would go to my grandmother’s farm every summ er2. When I was first married I would make breakfast for my husband every morning.3. My husband didn’t like eggs for many years.4. She used to work at IBM for many years before retiring.5. You used to eat here a lot during your first year at university. LOIEnglish Excellent work Olga. Number 3, you can use use to in the past with didnt. The correct usage is: My husband didnt use to like eggs. Your sentence is correct as well. We can not use would for past actions. Thanks for answering! Ariana Cella Ribeiro 1. When I was young I would go to my grandmother’s farm every summer.2. When I was first married I would make breakfast for my husband every morning.3. My husband used to didn’t like eggs for many years. ????4. She used to work at IBM for many years before retiring.5. You used to eat here a lot during your first year at university. LOIEnglish ArianaNumber 3 is incorrect. In a negative sentence we use: didnt use to. So the correction is: My husband didnt use to like eggs. simicpetar 1. When I was young I would go to my grandmothers farm every summer. 2. When I was first married I would make breakfast for my husband every morning. 3. My husband used to hate eggs for many years. 4. She used to work at IBM for many years before retiring. 5. You used to eat here a lot during your first year at university.Lets put passive verbs aside for a moment.Did I get it correctly: if we have some kind of introduction in a sentence, e.g. When I was young / When you lived there / When I was your age, then we should use would. And if the verb goes unintroduced â€" then we use used to, as an actual introduction to a sentence (and a whole story afterwards, if there is one).So its:I used to work here., but When I was your age kid, I would work here. LOIEnglish You answered all the questions correctly. We can leave the adverbial time phrases off when we use would or used to. i.g. My husband used to hate eggs. You dont need for many years.In regards to the active or nonac tive verbs. You CANNOT use would with nonactive verbs. You CANNOT say: When I was young I would live with my mother. This is incorrect. You can say: I used to live with my mother.NowYour examplewith WORK as the verb is very tricky. I had to do some research and talk to several of our teachers. Our teacher Dianna had the best explanation of why you CANNOT say: When I was your age kid, I would work here.The verb work in this context is a permanent state rather than an activity. I used to work hereis possible as a past state now discontinued. When I was at university, I would work all night to finish my assignments. This sentence is possible because it is clearly an activity. I would work there every weekend is possible as it is a temporary activity/habit..a part time job.There are a few verbs live and work that can be a permanent state or a temporary action/activity/habit. So you must consider the context in which they are used.I hope this helps! simicpetar It does, definitely! Thank s for the response. And HUGE thanks for the research, I believe we all got your points ?? However, one rule still remains unclear to me, so lets try with a different verb (and e.g. our 5th sentence):Is it You used to eat here a lot during your first year at university., but During your first year at university, you would often eat here. ?We have to use used to in the 1st example, and we have to use would in the 2nd one, am I correct? Elena 1. When I was young I would go to my grandmother’s farm every summer.2. When I was first married I used to do breakfast for my husband every morning.3. My husband used not to like eggs for many years.4. She used to work at IBM for many years before retiring.5. You used to eat here a lot during your first year at university. LOIEnglish Elena,Good work. You have a couple errors. The first is in Number 2: I used to MAKE eggs for my husband. You can have a look at our post about do/make: http://www.skypeenglishclasses.com/skype-english-blog/do-or -make-the-rules-and-a-lot-of-exceptions/Number 3: The correction is: My husband didnt use to like eggs. Notice that I left off the for many years because used to implies that it is a long period of time. Also take note that when we use didnt we drop the D on the end.Number 4: You an drop for many years She used to work at IBM before retiring.Hope this helps! Thanks for answering! Ilka 1. When I was young I used to go to my grandmothers farma every summer.2. When I was first married I used to make breakfas for my husband every morning.3. My husband didnt use to like eggs for many years.4. She used to worke at IBM for many years before retiring5. You used to eat here a lot during your fist year at university. LOIEnglish Ilkavery good. The only mistake I see is that when we use used to we can drop the time references because it becomes redundant. For example: My husband didnt use to like eggs. (dropped for many years) Also: She used to work at IBM before retiring. (dropped for many y ears) Ilka Thank you so much. Can I say the same sentences this way?1. When I was young I would go to my grandmothers farma every summer.2. When I was first married I would make breakfast for my husband every morning.4. She would work at IBM for many years before retiring.

Deciding how long to teach English abroad

Deciding how long to teach English abroad Congrats on making the decision to teach English abroad! The time you spend living in another country and immersed in a whole new culture will be an eye-opening and life-changing experience. Right now, you might be feeling just a liiittle (OK, maybe a lot ) overwhelmed with all the decisions you’ll have to make before you can finally make the move abroad. Where should I teach abroad? What TEFL course should I get? Slow down for just a second! One of the most important questions you need to figure out first is, “How long do I want to teach abroad for?” While there are a variety of teaching programs and hiring schools with different contract lengths (yes, you can totally find a one-month-long TEFL job if that’s what you’re after!) English teaching positions overseas typically fall into two distinct categories: summer or short-term teaching contracts, usually ranging from 2 - 6 months and year-long (or longer) English teaching opportunities. When making your final decision, there are a few factors you’ll need to consider - major requirements, your personal finances and personal goals and how much time you’re thinking of being away from home, to name only a few. That’s actually one of the best things about teaching English abroad, though - the versatility it offers when it comes to types of employers, students, regions to work in, as well as the flexibility in terms of teaching contracts durations Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Read this: Contracts 101: 9 key things that should be in your teach abroad contract How long can I teach English abroad? How long is a piece of string? You can teach abroad as long as you want to, for the most part (just beware of any age or visa restrictions that might scupper your plans). You can keep moving from country to country, or settle in one place for the forseeable future. As long as there's work (and with literally hundreds of thousands of ESL jobs opening up each year, there’s little fear of work drying up anytime soon) and you're willing to teach anyone, from kids to adults, you'll have a job waiting for you. a) One-year teaching contracts abroad If you’re thinking of making teaching abroad a long-term move, then a year-long contract might be your jam. And luckily for you, this is by far the most common contract length you’ll find when you’re on the lookout for teaching jobs abroad. b) Short-term teaching contracts abroad If you’re in more of a dipping-your-toes-in-the-teach-abroad-waters frame of mind, then seeking out a shorter ESL teaching contract might be the best way forward. Short-term teaching jobs abroad are especially handy for aspiring globetrotters or for people who get bored of a working situation quickly. You can always finish up your short teaching contract and teach English online on the side while you’re contemplating your next move. Just remember that hiring schools don’t usually want to keep churning through teachers and prefer to recruit people who want to stay for the full year, rather than those of us who have one foot out the door a couple of months in . And they’re willing to stump up for extra perks, like end-of-contract bonuses, to keep you around for the full year. How long are TEFL contracts abroad? Rather than skim reading a whole blog post for the pertinent info you landed here from Google to find , we’ve laid out what you need to know in the table below: EUROPE ASIA MIDDLE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA Language school teaching contracts: 10 months - 1 year (September - June) Note: 2-month summer camp contracts available Government teaching program contracts (e.g. TAPIF in France and Cultural Ambassadors Program in Spain): 7 - 9 months International schools contracts 1 year, with the option to renew Language school teaching contracts: 1 year, with the option to renew Note: 2-month summer camp contracts available Government teaching program contracts (e.g. the JET Program in Japan and EPIK in South Korea): 1 year, with the option to renew International school contracts: 1 year, with the option to renew Government teaching program (e.g. ADEK): 2 - 3 years, with the option to renew International schools: 1 - 2 years, with the option to renew (you may incur financial penalties for breaking your contract) Language school teaching contracts: 10 months - 1 year (September - June) International school contracts: 1 year, with the option to renew Note: Contracts in Asia and the Middle East often include return flights, housing either rented for you or heavily subsidized and some form of local health insurance. These kinds of perks are less common in Europe and Latin America. In the Middle East, these packages are usually reserved for experienced, certified teachers. College grads with a TEFL are in high demand for English teaching jobs in Asia, though., making it a great spot for teacher newbies who still want to make bank. Now, get out there and teach abroad! ?? ??

Top Tips for Parents when Traveling with Kids - ALOHA Mind Math

Top Tips for Parents when Traveling with Kids Have you been on a vacation with young kids recently? Then you know that if not planned for well, a vacation can be a stressful experience for a parent, and there are lots of small things that go into making it a pleasant one. Here are some tips that help smooth the way and give you those great memories when you travel with children: To handle those spills: One can never be too prepared! Whether a car-sickness incident or just a food-spill, always be ready with tissue paper or rags of cloth to clean it all up. Barf bags are another useful packing item that can be very helpful in long drives. Don’t forget to pack games for your children: You know best how short your toddler’s attention span can be. So be prepared to wait out those long times between flights, or even in your hotel room by packing your kid’s favorite toys and books. You can bring out one or two at a time to make it last for your entire holiday. Healthy snacking: Pack some healthy snacks for your kids, along with some juice packets so that you are prepared to fill in those gaps between meals with some wholesome nutrition. It is tough to eliminate junk food completely while on the go, but try to keep it to a minimum. Remember that stroller: Until your kids are more than 4 years old, do not expect them to walk any longer than 5 minutes. Take a stroller along for vacations where you expect a lot of walking. Even if traveling by air, these can be checked in as a separate piece of luggage without any problem. Be prepared with extra clothes: It’s a good idea to keep additional clothing to cover for all the spills and incidents that children invariably get into. Needing to buy clothes because of not packing enough can make an unnecessary dent on your holiday budget. Child safety: In crowded areas like the airport, or even just a tourist spot, it is very easy to lose sight of where the kids may have run off. To avoid any panic, teach them early on to hold on to your hands or even the tip of your dress in crowded places. Once you’re back safely from that awesome holiday, and looking around for extra-curricular activities for your child, do check out our great Math and English classes at ALOHA USA.

Three More Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Irvine Tutor

Three More Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Irvine Tutor Get the Most Out of Your Private Orange County Tutor: 3 More Tips Get the Most Out of Your Private Orange County Tutor: 3 More Tips We discussed here three pieces of advice to help you have successful lessons with your new tutor. In short, the tips were to send them your material ahead of time, have specific goals in mind that you want them to help you reach, and to show them your previous graded assignments to review. These are beneficial actions that can best allow your tutor to evaluate your situation beforehand and help you work toward your goals in the sessions book your private Irvine tutor today. Now well talk about advice for a tutoring session itself. Here are three things that you should and shouldnt be doing if you want to get the most out of your lesson. Do Assignments Early One often under-appreciated benefit of having tutoring appointments is that it makes you accountable to someone else to finish your work on time. This benefit can be amplified if you strive to do your work before your tutoring session. This way, you will already know what parts confuse you and what parts you want to focus on before your tutor arrives. This can save time and energy and also reduce the stress caused by procrastinating. Get your assignments done early and use your tutoring appointments as a deadline to make yourself finish work ahead of time â€" youll be grateful you did it later. Be Working and Ready Unless your tutor is bringing you the material you need to study, you should already be working before your tutor arrives. Have your paper/notes/laptop/practice test or whatever necessary materials out and ready. A lot of time is wasted in tutoring sessions by dawdling and getting prepared in the beginning. Get yourself in a studying mindset ahead of time and have your materials ready. This also shows that you are professional and eager to improve â€" good traits to practice displaying for the future. Dont Focus on Complaints One of the most common conversations a tutor has with a new student is the talk about how the student dislikes their class and/or teacher: the teacher is mean or isnt fair, the class is too hard or confusing, other teachers give an easier class, your assignment was graded harshly, the teacher doesnt know how to teach, etc. While many of these problems can be valid â€" there are many terrible teaches and unfair classes out there â€" they shouldnt be a focal point of your Irvine tutoring. If your goal is to improve your grade in a class, then you should be focused on what steps you need to do to accomplish that. You likely arent going to change your teacher; you can only change your approach to studying and working. Its okay to explain the situation and vent to your tutor every once in a while, but dont become one of the students who only want to complain and gossip instead of working to improve. Remember: its you and your Irvine tutor working together to help you reach your goals. If you set yourself up for success with your tutor, then you will be able to achieve it.
