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
theyre 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
Hfusion 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. Dont pick this
one if youre 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.
