Experiments
Here are experiments our science specialists have selected to support the IB* topic.
Buffers
Experiment #19 from Advanced Chemistry with Vernier
In this experiment, you will
- Prepare and test two acid buffer solutions.
- Determine the buffer capacity of the prepared buffers.
Determining Ka by the Half-Titration of a Weak Acid
Experiment #24 from Advanced Chemistry with Vernier
In this experiment, you will
- Conduct a reaction between solutions of a weak acid and sodium hydroxide.
- Determine the half-titration point of an acid-base reaction.
- Calculate the pKa and the Ka for the weak acid.
Titration of a Diprotic Acid: Identifying an Unknown
Experiment #25 from Chemistry with Vernier
In this experiment, you will identify an unknown diprotic acid by finding its molecular weight.
Investigating Acid-Base Titrations
Experiment #14 from Vernier Chemistry Investigations for Use with AP* Chemistry
You will be assigned an acid solution to titrate with a solution of the strong base sodium hydroxide, NaOH. The concentration of the NaOH solution is given and you will determine the concentration of the acid solution.
