Students create and analyze four different equilibrium systems, allowing manipulation of a variety of stresses to show how systems respond by shifting in the direction that reduces stress.
Students will enjoy this lab as they experience multiple techniques required for AP chemistry; synthesizing cobalt oxalate hydrate by precipitation, gravimetric analysis by dehydration, and oxidation-reduction (redox) titration on a unique compound.
This calorimetry lab uses reliable reactions as students measure temperature changes, determine the calorimeter constant and ultimately calculate the molar enthalpy of formation for magnesium oxide using Hess's Law.
