ACTIVITIES OF METALS
PURPOSE
The objective of this experiment is to rank order several metals on the basis of their chemical activity.
DESCRIPTION
This experiment is appropriate for a general or first-year college-prep course. Active metals react with acids to produce hydrogen gas. The rate at which bubbles of hydrogen are produced when various metals are placed in acid solution can be used to indicate the reactivity of the metals.
TIME REQUIRED
Approximately 30 minute ...

Dozens to Moles
Purpose: This lesson is an introduction to the concept of the Mole and calculating conversions related to the mole. The best analogy for understanding the mole is the dozen. Students intuitively understand a dozen is equal to the number 12, and that the weight (mass) of a dozen will depend on what you have a dozen of. Students will therefore start by calculating mass to dozen relationships and then progress to mass to mole relationships.
Background: Students need to be famil ...

What is Caffeine and Why Is It So Popular?
Caffeine is a biologically active molecule found in many foods and drinks including coffee, tea, cola drinks, and chocolate. It is, by far, America's most popular drug. About 90% of Americans consume caffeine daily in one form or another. More than 50% of American adults consume about 300 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is recognized as more than a moderate amount.
Caffeine is an addictive drug. Although far more mild than drugs like amp ...

A Balancing Act
One of the greatest difficulties in learning chemistry is to visualize the particulate nature of matter and relate macroscopic observations of our world to the submicroscopic world of atoms and molecules. Chemical equations are a symbolic way to represent the changes matter undergoes in terms of submicroscopic atoms, molecules, and ions.
For example, water can be broken down to the elements hydrogen and oxygen by electricity. This change is called a chemical reaction a ...

For instance, one can slowly put a spoon in Oobleck, but it is impossible to stir it quickly. Another fun activity (though potentially messy!) is to pour a littl ...
