Physical Chemistry  Activities

 

Much of your time will be spent doing labs.

The purpose of these labs is to help you understand the properties of many common substances.

We will be learning about the properties of water.

    We will be  answering such questions as

        How do you determine the strength as an acid?

        How strong are various acids?

        Why do use a 50-50 antifreeze solution?

            How much oxygen is in air?

            How do we get pure oxygen from air?

            How can we reduce air pollution?

 

we will be studying the properties of materials such as metals and polymers.

    We will be answering such questions as
