Your lab choices

Flashing Lights: Concentration Determination

• Using color to determine concentration

• Using a standard curve you will be able to calculate the unknown concentration by interpolation.

Ice Cream Chemistry• Colligative properties• Study of the impact of amount

of solute on boiling point and freezing point.

• Extra Credit – Research and implement how colligative properties are used to make ice cream.

Battery Chemistry

• Batteries are powered through oxidation/reduction reactions.

• You will be studying this chemistry in your lab.

• Recommended for those going into AP

Master of Titrations• You will be running

multiple labs that allow for you to analyze and determine the concentration of an acid and base.

• For those that think they’re a boss.

Eat Your Vitamins!• Vitamins are compounds

that are vital nutrients for living organisms

• Many companies sell vitamin supplements

• You will be investigating whether the advertised amount aligns with the actual amount.

Swim with the Fishes

• Seawater contains many different types of compounds.

• Roughly 3.5% of the seawater is various compounds.

• Analyzing ions found in seawater from Santa Monica, CA.

Crazy for Le Chatelier

• Equilibriums have certain ratios of products and reactants that needs to be maintained.

• Keq is the mathematical value that describes this.

• Recommended for those taking AP

Direct and Indirect Love of the Gas Laws

• Study of Boyles and Charles Law

• Does the data show these direct and indirect relationships?

• Get to use dry ice!

Double Bubble Toil and the Ideal Gas Law!

• When acids react, bubbles of CO2 are sometimes produced

• If you know certain conditions then values of this acid can be calculated using PV=nRT

Catching Fire• Values like Cs and

ΔHfusion are often given, but we can experimentally determine them.

• Running multiple calorimetry experiments.

Real Life Walter White: Making Compounds from Aspirin

• Utilize organic chemistry to synthesize methyl salicylate (wintergreen smell in food) from aspirin.

• Large amount of research will be required. Don’t pick this one if you’re lazy.

Real Life CSI• Forensic science

required extensive amounts of chemistry

• You will be using chemistry to detect unseen fingerprints and for the presence of arsenic/antimony.

Background Reading

• Read the excerpt and answer the corresponding questions

• This will be used to inform your procedure

Develop a Procedure

• With your partner develop a procedure for how you would investigate the problem given to you in this lab.

• Have Mr. Astor check it when you are completed.
