  1. What aspect of this week did you find difficult?

I found it difficult watching unbalanced chemical formula being flashed across the screen. I also found it rather pointless using hydrochloric acid to dissolve a shell. Why? To show it bubbled? Why not add hydrogen peroxide to yeast or acetic acid to sodium carbonate they would bubble and froth as well. Using HCl(aq) just confuses things when really you are trying to explain the action of the proton source the acid on the shell.
