Curated OER
A Solution for Precipitation
Students predict the product of chemical reaction using the solubility rules. For this chemistry lesson, students balance ionic equation. They perform a lab to check if their predicted products are correct.
Curated OER
A Solution for Moles
Students calculate the concentration of different solutions. In this chemistry lesson, students explain what a solution is. They explain ways to change the concentration of a solution.
