Experiments

Here are experiments our science specialists have selected to support the IB* topic.

Recommended

The Determination of an Equilibrium Constant

Experiment #10 from Advanced Chemistry with Vernier

In this experiment, you will

  • Prepare and test standard solutions of FeSCN2+ in equilibrium.
  • Test solutions of SCN− of unknown molar concentration.
  • Determine the molar concentrations of the ions present in an equilibrium system.
  • Determine the value of the equilibrium constant, Keq, for the reaction.

Recommended

Determining the Ksp of Calcium Hydroxide

Experiment #23 from Advanced Chemistry with Vernier

In this experiment, you will

  • Titrate a saturated Ca(OH)2 solution with a standard HCl solution.
  • Determine the [OH−] for the saturated Ca(OH)2 solution.
  • Calculate the Ksp of Ca(OH)2.

Recommended

Determining Ka by the Half-Titration of a Weak Acid

Experiment #24 from Advanced Chemistry with Vernier

In this experiment, you will

  • Conduct a reaction between solutions of a weak acid and sodium hydroxide.
  • Determine the half-titration point of an acid-base reaction.
  • Calculate the pKa and the Ka for the weak acid.

Investigating LeChatelier’s Principle

Experiment #13 from Vernier Chemistry Investigations for Use with AP* Chemistry

This investigation will take advantage of your knowledge of LeChatelier’s Principle. It may also deepen understanding of equilibrium in general. The objective is to prepare six equilibrium systems in a set of test tubes that display the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.

Chemical Equilibrium: Finding a Constant, Kc

Experiment #20 from Chemistry with Vernier

In this experiment, you will determine the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following chemical reaction:

{\text{F}}{{\text{e}}^{{\text{3 + }}}}{\text{(aq) + SC}}{{\text{N}}^{\text{ - }}}{\text{(aq)}} \leftrightarrow {\text{FeSC}}{{\text{N}}^{{\text{2 + }}}}{\text{(aq)}}
{\text{iron(III) + thiocyanate}} \leftrightarrow {\text{thiocyanoiron(III)}}
