In this chemistry of ice cream instructional activity, students investigate colligative properties and how they affect freezing points while making ice cream. Students answer short answer questions to determine if freezing is an...

In this chemistry practice worksheet, students select the correct response to the given questions. Students apply knowledge about the states of matter, finding vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure.

Study the properties of solutions as they relate to mixtures. The slide show presents the key concepts involved with solutions including solvents, solutes, solubility, and electrolytes. Scholars learn the basics of the properties of...

Explore the mathematical relationship between a solvent and solute. Learners use technology to measure the cooling patterns of a solvent with varying concentrations of solute. Through an analysis of the data, pupils realize that the...

Scientists have been studying exothermic reactions before they were cool. The instructional activity begins with a discussion and a demonstration of heat curves. Scholars then determine the heat of fusion of ice and the...

At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class...

Can you go ice fishing in the ocean? Learners examine the freezing point of different saltwater solutions. Each solution has a different concentration of salt. By comparing the freezing points graphically, they make conclusions...

Learners witness an demonstration in which a bottle of club soda will go from a liquid to a solid when it is opened and the carbon dioxide is allowed to escape. This will help them understand that the freezing point of a solution will...

Introduction to concepts and calculations related to colligative properties.

With an overview of topics related to chemical equilibrium, this site provides a foundation to a study of thermodynamics and colligative properties. Other topics covered include osmotic pressure, entropy, free energy, and more.

This chemistry e-textbook provides students with AP-level reading and practice material on colligative properties of solutions.
