week of 1/15

The semester began with students familiarizing themselves with the ideal gas laws and the concepts of molar mass, moles and how the avagadro's constant is used in these calculations. In the second week, the professor finished up on the kinetic theory and diffusion. Though only one student attended office hours, it was a productive conversation. He had issues with shifting between equations and was uncertain about how the kinetic equation could be manipulated to solve problems. All in all it was a good start to the semester.
