Predicting the pH of Salt Solutions
A single page provides you with lecture notes for your instructional activity on hydrolysis. Introduce your chemistry class to Bronsted-Lowry theory by explaining the hydrolysis of acidic cations and basic anions. Show them how the...
NOAA
Ocean Acidification
If tap water is more acidic than ocean water, why are we so concerned about ocean acidification? The third installment of a 23-part NOAA Enrichment in Marine sciences and Oceanography (NEMO) program focuses on carbon dioxide levels in...
NOAA
History's Thermometers
How is sea coral like a thermometer? Part three of a six-part series from NOAA describes how oceanographers can use coral growth to estimate water temperature over time. Life science pupils manipulate data to determine the age of corals...
Curated OER
Mass-Mass Relationship
Learners investigate mass-mass relationships in the lab. In this mass-mass relationship lesson plan, students mix sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide. Learners use the amount of...
Curated OER
Not a Drop to Drink
Students design an experiment to determine which liquid is water. In this chemistry lesson plan, students perform the experiment as outlined in their design. They record observation and formulate conclusion.
Curated OER
A Very Simple Conductivity Meter
Students conduct a simple conductivity meter to test the ionic or non-ionic nature of water samples including one from their home.
Curated OER
Ranking Salinity
Students explain the uses of titration in chemistry and in industry. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the concentration of an unknown solution using titration. They calculate the percent of salt in saline solutions.
Curated OER
Solutions Worksheet
Students complete a worksheet on solutes in chemistry. They are given an equation in order to find the total mass solution, molarity, and molality.
Curated OER
Kinetic Theory
Students describe how molecules of the different phases of matter move according to the Kinetic Theory. In this chemistry instructional activity, students observe and participate in teacher demos. They give real world applications of the...
Curated OER
A “Salting” Solution
Ninth graders investigate the factors affecting solubility. In this chemistry lesson, 9th graders differentiate solvent and solute. They give examples of real world application of solutions.
