Experiments
Here are experiments our science specialists have selected to support the IB* topic.
The Determination of an Equilibrium Constant
Experiment #10 from Advanced Chemistry with Vernier
In this experiment, you will
- Prepare and test standard solutions of FeSCN2+ in equilibrium.
- Test solutions of SCN− of unknown molar concentration.
- Determine the molar concentrations of the ions present in an equilibrium system.
- Determine the value of the equilibrium constant, Keq, for the reaction.
Chemical Equilibrium: Finding a Constant, Kc
Experiment #20 from Chemistry with Vernier
In this experiment, you will determine the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following chemical reaction:
Investigating LeChatelier’s Principle
Experiment #13 from Vernier Chemistry Investigations for Use with AP* Chemistry
This investigation will take advantage of your knowledge of LeChatelier’s Principle. It may also deepen understanding of equilibrium in general. The objective is to prepare six equilibrium systems in a set of test tubes that display the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
