Chemical Reactions Lab

Daily Standard

• SC3. a .Use mathematics and computational thinking to balance chemical reactions (i.e., synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion) and construct an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.

• SC3. b. Plan and carry out an investigation to determine that a new chemical has been formed by identifying indicators of a chemical reaction (e.g., precipitate formation, gas evolution, color change, water production, and changes in energy to the system)

• SC2.e. Ask questions about chemical names to identify patterns in IUPAC nomenclature in order to predict chemical names for ionic (binary and ternary), acidic, and inorganic covalent compounds.

Daily Learning Target

• I can identify the indicator(s) of a chemical reaction.

• I can predict the products of chemical reactions based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.

• I can give the chemical name of the products predicted in the chemical reactions.

• I can use mathematical and computational thinking to balance chemical reactions.
