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.
Product Yields in Chemical Reactions (Screencast)
By Debbie McClinton, Dr. Miriam Douglass, Dr. Martin McClinton
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.
Mass Versus Weight
By Kim Ristow
In this learning activity you'll explore the difference between mass and weight.
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.
Identifying Compounds and Ions
Learners complete an exercise to match chemical formulas with the names of binary compounds, tertiary compounds, and ions.
Cell-Based Models: Organoids and Organs-on-Chips
In this module, you will explore the many kinds of cell models and learn about the ways they differ from animal models.
Determining Empirical and Molecular Formulas (Screencast)
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.
Gas Volume and Molar Amount
In this brief object, learners examine the direct relationship between the volume of a gas sample and the number of moles of gas. A problem is presented so students can test their knowledge of Avogadro's Law.
Controlling pH
