Controlling pH
By Terry Bartelt
Learners view an animated presentation showing how the pH level of a cleaning solution is controlled in a closed-loop system in a manufacturing setting. A quiz completes the activity.
Determining Empirical and Molecular Formulas (Screencast)
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners follow a four-step process to determine the empirical formula of a compound from the masses of its constituent elements. The molecular formula is determined in a fifth step using the molecular weight of the compound.
Identifying Compounds and Ions
By Jill Larson
Learners complete an exercise to match chemical formulas with the names of binary compounds, tertiary compounds, and ions.
Calculating Gas Density from Standard Molar Volume
By Dr. Miriam Douglass
Learners calculate gas density from the standard molar volume and observe how the density increases with the increasing molecular weight of the gas.
Dilution of Hydrochloric Acid
In this interactive object, learners examine how to properly dilute hydrochloric acid.
Product Yields in Chemical Reactions (Screencast)
Learners examine the meaning of theoretical yield, actual yield, and percent yield. They test their knowledge by solving two problems.
Solubility of Ionic Compounds in Water
By Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
Learners view movie clips to determine the solubility of two ionic compounds. They also examine a solubility chart and predict the solubility of compounds.
Equilibrium
By Jill Larson, Anne Peregrine
Equilibrium plays a vital role in our lives. We'll show you how the equilibrium formula works in real life using our friend the chicken.
pH and Its Basic Principles
By Joan Kornitz
In this animated object, learners view hydrogen and hydroxide ions in a solution. A brief quiz on the basic principles of the term pH completes the activity.
Chemical Bonds: The Hydrogen Bond
In this interactive object, students examine a type of chemical bond known as the "hydrogen bond."
