Properties of Acids and Bases Experiment
kit #82
This Applied Science Concepts Kit provides a completely safe and convenient method for students to study, test, and observe the characteristic properties of acids and bases. Activities incorporate the LAB-AIDS® Chemplates®. This unique lab tool eliminates the need for glassware and provides a semi-micro environment in any classroom.
Students perform a total of seven different activities:
♦ Reacting metal with acids and producing hydrogen in safe quantities
♦ Collecting and safely testing hydrogen
♦ Reacting carbonates with acids and producing carbon dioxide
♦ Collecting and testing carbon dioxide
♦ Observing the effects of acids and bases on the indicator dyes
♦ Measuring the concentration of acids by titration of an "unknown"
♦ Performing a neutralization experiment
This kit is complete for 50 students.
