Useful newb learning experiments

NEMO-Chemistry - 18-6-2016 at 07:27

Wasnt sure how to title this, so i am sorry if you clicked and it isnt what you thought!
I am looking around for structured learning material for beginners, in my own case i dont study chemistry so it can be hard to follow just a book.

I found the following PDF for an experiment that i thought might be of use to others like myself looking for experiments to do but with guided information.

I am on the hunt for similar ones so if you know any feel free to post/comment

This one is on Stoichiometry and to pinch the objects bit of it:

Objectives
Determine the mole ratio between
the reactants sodium hypochlorite and sodium thiosulfate.
Through this investigation, students:

Review the evidence of chemical reactions

Describe the connection between coefficients in chemica
l reactions and the amount of product
formed

Explain the term limiting reactant

I will post others i find as i come across them or until told not to post any more :D


Not a work sheet but found this site, it isnt free but the linked page is for the free stuff. Some really useful information for the complete noob! (me).

Found another that might interest the noob (like me), this time on titration.

Maybe you could look through J. Chem. Ed?

Ok i am stupid! what is J.Chem,ED and where do i get it?

I hope no one minds me posting things i am finding useful, i am self learning and started to download work sheets etc. I have a few now but want to try them before posting.

I know its basic but i have some good guides for using Vol flasks and burets etc, the kind of thing i didnt have a clue about :(.

Might save some from asking the kind of stupid things i do :D.

OK Journal of chem education?

Yep, thats the one. Find articles that interest you and request them in the references section here at Sciencemandness

Dont i need a high post count to get into references?

I got in with my limited post count by U2Uing woelen. And either way, http://www.sci-hub.bz should allow you to access J. Chem. Ed. articles for free anyways.
