Recreate the secret Coca-Cola formula in a virtual lab. Young scholars create the solution and then calculate sucrose concentrations in terms of percent mass, molarity, molality, and mole fraction. Then using density, learners determine the concentration of sucrose in a generic cola sample.

Instructional Ideas

• Ask pupils to perform calculations as a pre-lab activity to make class time more efficient
• Compare the nutritional content of Coca-Cola with the information provided in the activity

Classroom Considerations

• Requires a proficiency with concentration calculations

Pros

• Includes an option for an offline version if Internet access is a challenge
• Provides instant feedback

Cons

• None
