The activities in this kit focus on developing a better understanding of why periodic trends occur in the elements. Students will perform two sets of experiments, one focusing on the alkaline earth metals, and the other focusing on halogen groups. In the first set of experiments, students search for patterns as they look at the reactivity of the alkaline earth metals. The second set of experiments form small amounts of solubilized halogen gases as a colorful way of measuring reactivity within the halogen group. Kit contains enough materials for 8 groups. Safety data sheets, teacher's manual, and student study guide copy masters are included.What's in the box?8 bottles 0.25M ammonium oxalate, 10mL8 bottles 1.0M barium nitrate, 10mL8 bottles 1.0M calcium nitrate, 10mL8 bottles chlorine water, 3.5mL8 bottles iodine water, 3.5mL8 bottles 1.0M magnesium nitrate, 10mL8 bottles mineral oil, 15mL1 bottle potassium bromate, 0.5g1 bottle potassium bromide, 1.72g8 bottles 1.0M potassium bromide, 3mL8 bottles 0.2M potassium iodate, 10mL8 bottles 1.0M sodium carbonate, 10mL8 bottles 1.0M potassium chloride, 3mL8 bottles 1.0M potassium iodide, 3mL8 bottles 1.0M strontium nitrate, 10mL2 bottles 0.5M sulfuric acid, 20mL8 bottles 1.0M sulfuric acid 2.62%, 10mL120 graduated plastic pipettes8 vials8 vial labelsTeacher's manual, student study guide copy masters, and safety data sheetsFor Laboratory Use Only.
