Students will identify unknown chemicals based on laboratory testing of their physical and chemical properties. Students will identify the 4 different kinds of bonds that exist in chemicals: ionic, polar...
Students collect data using different solvents to identify the optimal solvent for separation. They will then illustrate the intermolecular forces that are acting on the molecules in the separation. Students...
Study how the concentration of acids in various consumer beverages may be determined by titration with sodium hydroxide. Students will determine the proper indicator to use in the titration of...
Students will investigate the suitability of gravimetric analysis for determining the amount of water hardness in the form of calcium carbonate found in various water samples. The activity contains enough...
Students will design a laboratory procedure to analyze the amount of copper in brass using a spectrophotometer. Students identify the correlation among wavelength, absorbance, and concentration for each of three...
Students will be guided through an investigation to study food dyes and determine how the absorbance of light can be used to study color and determine concentrations of chemicals in...
Ever wonder what would happen if you mixed this chemical with that one? This kit has been designed to allow students to perform experiments to see what types of reactions...
The mixture to be analyzed by column chromatography is applied to the top of the column. The liquid solvent (the eluent) is passed through the column by gravity or by...
Students will study electrochemical series. The electrochemical series is built up by arranging various redox equilibria in order of their standard electrode potentials (redox potentials). When a strip of metal...
After a compound has been synthesized, analytical tests should be carried out to confirm that the correct compound has been produced. In this lab we will perform tests to confirm...
Determine the identity of a metal carbonate by gravimetric analysis. Gravimetric analysis is a technique through which the amount of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) can be determined through...
pH is the measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. As this concentration can extend over several orders of magnitude, it is convenient to express it by...
Students will determine the volume of one mole of gas. This is accomplished by generating a known mass of oxygen gas, measuring its temperature, volume and pressure, and then using...
The quantitative stoichiometric relationships governing mass and amount will be studied using the combustion reaction of magnesium metal. Magnesium is reacted with oxygen from the air in a crucible, and...
In this experiment, you will prepare three buffer solutions having different pH values and show that the pH of these solutions does not change significantly when small amounts of acids...
Once the Grignard reagent is prepared, it can be used to prepare the target compound. In this experiment the target compound is a carboxylic acid. To prepare a carboxylic acid,...
