Laboratory exercises

Laboratory
Introduction to Scientific Measurement. Students use various instruments for measuring mass and volume. The lab introduces students to concepts associated with making scientific measurements.
Identification of an Unknown Compound. Students carry out precipitation reactions and balance chemical equations.
Empirical Formula of an Oxide. Students conduct a combustion reaction and derive an empirical formula.
How much Acetic Acid is in Vinegar? Students carry out an acid-base titration.
Activity Series. Students carry out displacement reactions and derive an activity series.
Line Spectra of Elements. Students collect and analyze helium and hydrogen atom emission spectra. Two Families on the Periodic Table: Alkaline Earths and Halogens. Students conduct precipitation reactions on compounds of alkaline earths and oxidation-reduction reactions on the halogens to identify the cation and anion in an unknown.
Bonding Types. Students conduct and analyze ionic and covalent compounds with regard to solubility, melting point and conductivity. Based on those observations, students identify bonding types of four unknowns.
Qualitative Determination of Select Metal Cations: Students carry out reactions between nine different metal cations with six different reagents and record their observations. Based on those observations students then design their own chemical tests to identify an unknown cation.
Molecular Models : Covalent Bonding and Shapes of Molecules. Students build models of ten compounds using concepts of covalent bonding, Lewis and resonance structures, and polarity.
Molar Mass of a Volatile Liquid. Students vaporize an unknown liquid. Using concepts of mass, temperature and volume and the ideal gas equation, they determine its molar mass.
Crystal Solids. Students use models to take a deeper look at the structures and properties of crystalline solids, including: unit cells, Bravais lattices, close packing, coordination numbers, and density.
