Percent Composition of a Hydrate

Students determine the formula of a hydrate sample based on the mass lost when the sample is dehydrated.

High School / Chemistry

Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide

Students add enough heat to a sample of magnesium to produce magnesium oxide, then analyze the product to determine its empirical formula.

High School / Chemistry

Balancing Chemical Equations

Students use the Molecular Model Set to model the law of conservation of matter during chemical reactions.

High School / Chemistry

Chemical Reactions

Students predict products of a series of chemical reactions and use a temperature, conductivity, and pH sensor to verify a chemical change.
