Reaction Rates
Student will see how the decomposition of nitrogen dioxide creates nitric oxide and oxygen. Students and/or teacher will use this to demonstrate how you would find the reaction rates using the numbers that are given in the problem, and then maybe using numbers that they obtain on their own with ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reaction-rates
Molar Gas Lab
Students use stoichiometry to determine the mass of oxygen gas in a bottle. They may also check their answer against the amount of potassium chloride produced during the reaction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/molar-gas-lab
Mole Activity
This activity is intended to help students gain an understanding of the mole concept. By determining the molar mass of the element at each station, students will be able to identify the element. Students will learn that the molar mass of each element is unique and different, although the number...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mole-activity
