General Chemistry Videos and Animations

Precipitation Experiment

Please view the three different animations that describe the atomic level reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous sodium chloride. Please note that the animations may or may not be scientifically accurate. Your job is to critique the animations and ultimately decide which animation is most scientifically accurate.

Acid-Base Neutralization Experiment

Please view the three different animations that describe the atomic level titration of aqueous hydrochloric acid with aqueous sodium hydroxide. Please note that the animations may or may not be scientifically accurate. Your job is to critique the animations and ultimately decide which animation is most scientifically accurate.

EXPLORATION: Creating a Molecular Level Picture (Part 1)

HINT: What does the conductivity test tell you about the molecular level of the solution?

Construct your Molecular Level Picture (Part 1)

INSTRUCTIONS -

1) Please login to you your account to complete this exercise. The login is located in the column on your left.

2) Please view a Tutorial Video to learn how to use the drawing tool.

3) Using the drawing tool, construct your understanding of the molecular level of the aqueous silver nitrate solution surrounding the copper wire, before the reaction has begun.

4) Save the picture you construct to your computer before you go to the next part. You will need to upload the file later. Don't worry, you and your instructor can view and edit your uploaded picture in the future.

Alternative way:

Here is the Tutorial if you want to use app to draw your drawing or use webcam to take a still image of your drawing.

After you finish your drawing, you click on the next part below to continue.

EXPLORATION: Creating a Molecular Level Picture (Part 2)

INSTRUCTIONS: Examine the following evidence from the Redox Experiment video. Focus on the reaction happening in the middle beaker. What do you think is happening at the molecular level as the reaction takes place between the copper wire and the aqueous silver nitrate solution?

Consider the following evidence from the Redox Experiment video.

HINT 1:

1) What does the conductivity test tell you about the molecular level of the solution?

2) Why is the solution blue?

HINT 2: What makes up the substance that formed on the wire?
