Textbook problems with a twist! Young chemists analyze an ionic reaction to identify the limiting reagent. They then make calculations to determine the concentration of unknown solutions. Finally, they put their work to the test and verify it using the virtual lab simulation.

Instructional Ideas

• Pair with additional virtual lab simulations in a unit on limiting reagents
• Follow the virtual investigations with hands-on lab activities

Classroom Considerations

• Requires a strong understanding of chemical reactions and limiting reagents

Pros

• Allows a change in language to assist ELL pupils
• Provides a realistic alternative when a classroom lab is not available

Cons

• None
