You will have two lessons and homeworks to plan, carry out and write up this experiment. This experiment is important as it will make a big contribution to your grade **8 and 9** number. :) ||  ||   ||
 * 47 || Stomach acid assignment continued ||  || Complete the write up. Deadline.December 3rd BOTH GROUPS. 10.00 ||   ||
 * 48 || TEST WEEK || **The test is open book. It covers all the chemistry you have done this year.** ||  ||   ||
 * 49 || Preparing salmiakki || You will use neutralisation to make salmiakki, ammonium chloride. We may not be able to taste this during the lesson as it will take time for the water to evaporate from the solution. However it will be ready for the next lesson, when you can bring in liquorice if you want (and dare) to taste chemically pure salmiakki. [[file:Preparing salmiakki.docx]] ||  ||   ||
