-
Acid-Base Indicators
Demonstrates universal indicators and universal indicator strips. Students are challenged to design an experiment that determines the relative pH of several solutions using only indicators.
-
Acid-Bases Titrations
Determines an unknown acid concentration through the selection of proper indicators, the standardizing of the titrant, the titration of the unknown acid, and the analysis.
-
Writing and Balancing Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Focuses on early electronics. Students perform a lab demonstration to make a printed circuit board. Introduces and reviews the five-step method for writing redox reactions.
-
Opposing Reactions in Equilibrium Systems
The synthesis of ammonia shows how to determine the product and reactant present at equilibrium. The equilibrium law expression is explained, and written examples are shown for various reactions. Discussea the equilibrium constant, K.
-
Corrosion Reactions
Explains why corrosion is a major concern of industry and consumers. Shows various everyday examples of corrosion reactions and how they can be prevented. The five-step method for writing these reactions is used throughout the program.
-
Opposing Reactions and Le Châtelier’s Principle
Explains Le Châtelier’s principle and shows how his work is used to identify factors that can affect equilibrium concentrations. Demonstrates how equilibrium can be shifted by changing temperature or the concentrations of various reagents.
-
Quantiative Analysis Using Redox Titration
Emphasizes the usefulness of redox titration as an analytical technique. Examines titration procedures and techniques and explains how to determine the endpoint of a redox titration.
-
Oxidation-Reduction Titrations and Stoichiometry
Shows the complete cycle of a redox titration. Analysis of the data covers: predicting the endpoint colour change; standardizing the titrant; titrating the unknown; and stoichiometric analysis of the data.
