Biography

I graduated from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry with a bachelor's degree in environmental biology in 2015. During my undergraduate years, I was a tutor for several classes (comparative vertebrate anatomy, dendrology, and economics). After graduating, I took a job as a research analyst specializing in plant identification. Shortly after leaving that job, I began substitute teaching, which I continued to do for 2 years. While subbing, I went back to school to get a Master's degree in adolescent education from SUNY Empire State College. During summers I worked for a YMCA summer camp and tried to include as much fun science for younger kids (ages 5-12). I taught 7th-grade physical science for the Dryden School District during the 2017-2018 school year. Since then I have been teaching biology and a science elective (science explorations) at Cicero-North Syracuse High School. This past year, I spent time learning how to teach virtually using videos and found the task challenging, but fun.

Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach

Nitrous oxide decomposes to nitrogen and oxygen in the following reaction:
$$2 \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)$$
In Figure P13.1, which curve represents $\left[\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right]$ and which curve represents $\left[\mathrm{O}_{2}\right] ?$

The rate law for the reaction $2 \mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{B}$ is second order in $A$. Figure $P 13.3$ represents samples with different concentrations of $A$, represented by red spheres. In which sample will the reaction $\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{B}$ proceed most rapidly? (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)

The rate law for the reaction $A+B \rightarrow C$ is first order in both $A$ and $B$. Figure $P 13.4$ represents samples with different concentrations of $\mathrm{A}$ (red spheres) and $\mathrm{B}$ (blue spheres). In which sample will the reaction $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}$ procecd most rapidly? (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)
