Instructional Ideas
- Remind pupils to control the reaction rate, because if it happens too fast, hydrogen and the acid solution escape the tube
- After each pupil or group performs the experiment three times, combine the data from the entire class and look for patterns
Classroom Considerations
- Relies on prior knowledge of moles, balanced chemical equations, and figuring experimental versus percent error
Pros
- Provides diagrams of the proper apparatus setup
- Encourages repeating the experiment for validity
Cons
- None
