Balancing Chemical Equations
Attempt to balance specific types of chemical reactions: combination, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. … While balancing the reactions, the number of atoms on each side is presented as visual, histogram, and numerical data.

Chemical Equations
Practice balancing chemical equations by changing the coefficients of reactants and products. As the equation is manipulated, the amount … of each element is shown as individual atoms, histograms, or numerically. Molar masses of reactants and products can also be calculated and balanced to demonstrate conservation of mass.

Colligative Properties
Determine how the physical properties of a solvent are dependent on the number of solute particles present. Measure the vapor … pressure, boiling point, freezing point, and osmotic pressure of pure water and a variety of solutions. Compare the effects of four solutes (sucrose, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and potassium chloride) on these physical properties.

pH Analysis
Test the acidity of common substances using pH paper. Materials including soap, lemon juice, milk, and oven cleaner can be tested by … comparing the color of pH strips to a standard scale.
-
pH Analysis: Quad Color Indicator
Test the acidity of many common everyday substances using pH paper (four color indicators). Materials including soap, lemon juice, milk, … and oven cleaner can be tested by comparing the color of the pH strips to the calibrated scale.
