Contents Introduction and lab safety. Introduction / by Victor Sampson -- Safety in the science classroom, laboratory, or field sites -- Physical sciences core idea 1.A : structure and property of matter. Bond character and molecular polarity : how does atom electronegativity affect bond character and molecular polarity? -- Molecular shapes : how does the number of substituents around a central atom affect the shape of a molecule? -- Rate of dissolution : why does the surface area of the solute, the temperature the solvent, and the amount of agitation that occurs when the solute and the solvent are mixed affect the rate of dissolution? -- Molarity : what is the mathematical relationship between the moles of a solute, the volume of the solvent, and the molarity of an aqueous solution? -- Temperature changes due to evaporation : which of the available substances has the strongest intermolecular forces? -- Pressure, temperature, and volume of gases : how does changing the volume or temperature of a gas affect the pressure of that gas? -- Periodic trends : which properties of the elements follow a periodic trend? -- Solutes and the freezing point of water : how does the addition of different types of solutes affect the freezing point of water? -- Melting and freezing points : why do substances have specific melting and freezing points? -- Identification of an unknown based on physical properties : what type of solution is the unknown liquid? -- Atomic structure and electromagnetic radiation : what are the identities of the unknown powders? -- Magnetism and atomic structure : what relationships exist between the electrons in a substance and the strength of magnetic attraction? -- Density and the periodic table : what are the densities of germanium and flerovium? -- Molar relationships : what are the identities of the unknown compounds? -- The idea gas law : how can a value of R for the ideal gas law be accurately determined inside the laboratory? -- Physical sciences core idea 1.B : chemical reactions. Development of a reaction matrix : what are the identities of the unknown chemicals? -- Limiting reactants : why does mixing reactants in different mole ratios affect the amount of the product and the amount of each reactant that is left over? -- Characteristics of acids and bases : how can the chemical properties of an aqueous solution be used to identify it as an acid or a base? -- Strong and weak acids : why do strong and weak acids behave in different manners even though they have the same chemical properties? -- Enthalpy change of solution : how can chemists use the properties of a solute to predict if an enthalpy change of solution will be exothermic or endothermic? -- Reaction rates : why do changes in temperature and reactant concentration affect the rate of a reaction? -- Chemical equilibrium : why do changes in temperature, reactant concentration, and product concentration affect the equilibrium point of a reaction? -- Classification of changes in matter : which changes are examples of a chemical change, and which are examples of a physical change? -- Identification of reaction products : what are the products of the chemical reactions? -- Acid-base titration and neutralization reactions : what is the concentration of acetic acid in each sample of vinegar? -- Composition of chemical compounds : what is the empirical formula of magnesium oxide? -- Stoichiometry and chemical reactions : which balanced chemical equation best represents the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate? -- Designing a cold pack : which salt should be sued to make an effective but economical cold pack? -- Rate laws : what is the rate law for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulfate? -- Equilibrium constant and temperature : how does a change in temperature affect the value of the equilibrium constant for an exothermic reaction?
Summary This book includes 30 field-tested labs that cover a broad range of topics related to chemical reactions and matter's structure and properties, and give students an opportunity to design their own methods, develop models, collect and analyze data, generate arguments, and critique claims and evidence. Includes lab details, student handouts, safety information, and materials to guide students through these investigations
