gender socialization

 

gender socialization

Please watch this video and discuss the implications of gender socialization between different cultures. In the video, are gender stereotypes being perpetuated by parents who feel that they must raise their sons as a female for them to successfully engage in domestic duties? Is this custom similar or different to the United States? Use your knowledge of customs that in other cultures defy American gender stereotypes to compare and contrast.

Lab 12: Ionic and Covalent Bonds

Introduction
Have you ever accidentally used salt instead of
sugar?
Drinking tea that has been sweetened with salt or eating vegeta‐
bles that have been salted with sugar tastes awful! Salt and sugar
may look the same, but they obviously taste very different. They
are also very different chemically. Salt is made up of sodium and
chloride and is ionically bonded. Sugar, on the other hand, is com‐
posed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen and has covalent bonds.
A salt (sodium‐chloride) molecule is made up of one sodium atom
and one chlorine atom. In order for the atoms to combine, the
sodium atom must lose an electron, while the chlorine atom must
gain an electron; the resulting ions have opposite charges and at‐
tract one another.
When sodium loses an electron it becomes a positively charged
ion (Na+), called a cation.
Na  Na+ + e
–
The chlorine atom adds this free electron, becoming a negatively charged
anion.
Cl + e-  ClA bond can now form between the negatively‐charged Cl– and the positively‐
charged Na+. This type of bond is called an ionic bond. Ionic bonds typically
form between one metal and one non‐metal ion. The above reaction can be
written as:
Na+ + Cl-  Na+ClTable sugar (sucrose) differs from salt in the bonding between its atoms. The
atoms in sugar do not form ions; instead, they are held together because of
shared electrons. This is an example of covalent bonding. Table sugar has a
Figure 1: In order to undergo ionic bonding, an electron
must transfer between the Na and Cl atoms. This gives
each atom an opposite charge, resulting in attraction.
Figure 2: Covalent bonding diagram for meth‐
ane (CH4). Note that both the carbon and
hydrogen atoms have full outer shells.
Concepts to explore:
 Understand the differences between ionic and covalent bonding
 Link ionic and covalent bonding with the physical properties of
matter
130
much more complex chemical structure than salt (see Figure 3). A covalent bond between one carbon atom and one hydrogen
atom forms when one of the valence electrons of the carbon atom groups with one of the valence electrons of the hydrogen
atom, forming an electron pair.
Note: This is normally written C‐H.
Ionically bonded compounds behave very differently from covalently bonded compounds. In the first part of this lab you will
investigate how ionically bonded and covalently bonded substances behave differently in their conduction of electricity. You
will do this by using a simple anodizing apparatus that uses a stainless steel screw and an iron nail as electrodes. In an anodiz‐
ing apparatus the water between the electrodes must contain enough ions to conduct electricity. As this happens, the water
will react to form hydrogen and oxygen gases.
2H2O  2H2 + O2
In the second part of this lab you will explore the differences in melting points between ionically bonded and covalently
bonded compounds.
Figure 3: Chemical structure for table sugar (sucrose). Here, different atoms combine via
covalent bonding, as opposed to ionic bonding. Notice the complexity of this molecule
compared to NaCl.

Pre‐lab Questions
1. What is an ionic bond?
2. What is a covalent bond?
3. Do you think sugar or salt will melt at a higher temperature? Explain your answer.
Lab 12: Ionic and Covalent Bonds
132
Experiment: Sugar or Salt?
Stainless steel is not very reactive, while iron will react with oxygen to form iron oxide, commonly called rust. You will use this
fact to help determine how well dissolved sugar and salt conduct electricity.
The melting points of sugar and salt can be tested by placing a small amount of substance in a test tube and heating it at differ‐
ent heights over a burner or lighter flame. These experiments will help you draw comparisons between ionically and covalently
bonded materials.
Procedure
Part 1: Nail Test for Ionic Bonding
1. Rinse a clean 250 mL beaker several times with distilled water to prevent contamination from ions that may
be on the beaker. Fill the beaker about ¾ full with distilled water.
2. Pour a packet of sugar (about 3 g) into the 250 mL beaker. Stir the solution with a clean stirring rod until the
sugar is dissolved and the solution is well mixed.
3. Stretch two rubber bands around the 250 mL beaker. Be careful not to spill any of the solution. The rubber
bands should loop from the top to the bottom of the beaker. Position the 2 rubber bands next to each other
(Figure 4). HINT: Do not position the bands around the circumference of the beaker.
4. Attach the first wire lead to just underneath the flat head of an iron nail (using the alligator clip). Place the
iron nail between the 2 rubber bands on one side of the 250 mL beaker so that it is suspended in the water.
The end of the nail should be in the solution while the head with clip is resting on the rubber bands. (See
Figure 4).

Part 2: Melting Points
1. Place a spatula tip full of sugar into a test tube. The sugar should just coat the bottom of the test tube.
CAUTION: Be sure the test tube does not have any small cracks or chips in it.
2. Light the candle using the butane lighter. CAUTION: Long hair should be tied up and loose clothing re‐
strained when around an open flame to prevent fire and burns. Be sure you are wearing your safety gog‐
gles.
3. Place the test tube containing the sugar in a test tube holder. Hold the test tube at a slight angle over the
candle flame. Position the test tube so that it contacts the blue inner core of the flame.
4. Continue to hold the test tube in the flame until the sugar just begins to melt. HINT: If you keep the sugar in
the flame until it turns dark brown or black, you will not be able to clean the test tube. Stop heating test
tube as soon as it begins to melt. Extinguish the candle.

5. Attach the second wire to just below the head of the stainless steel screw. Place the screw between the 2
rubber bands on the opposite side of the 250 mL beaker, next to the nail. Make sure the end of the screw is
in the solution and the head with the clip is resting on the rubber bands.
6. Connect the wire coming from the iron nail to the positive (+) terminal of the 9‐volt battery (usually the cir‐
cular terminal). CAUTION: Be careful when using energy sources such as batteries around water.
7. Connect the wire coming from the steel screw to the negative (‐) terminal of the battery (usually the hexago‐
nal terminal). CAUTION: Be careful when using energy such as batteries around water.

Creative writing

Creative writing

Requirements: each entry must be at least 125 words.

1. Consider A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson. In her narrative, Rowlandson provides an account of the time she spent in captivity. The narrative documents the abduction of Rowlandson and the death of some of her family members, and clearly one of the purposes of the work is to describe this terrible time in her life. However, the narrative also serves to describe the Native American culture. Rowlandson makes several observations about the similarities/differences in cultural traditions between the Native Americans and the European settlers. Discuss one similarity and one difference that Rowlandson describes. What is her attitude toward these differences?

2.Fight for Freedom. Consider Douglass’s speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” What logic does he use to make his point? His speech contains a lot of emotion, including anger. His anger is certainly justified, but does his anger take away from the effectiveness from his argument? Describe a time when you argued a position you were angry about. Were you able to make an effective argument? Why or why not?
