FUN learning with Chemistry experiments
Dear readers, Recently on the 17 Feb, I had the chance to involve students in conducting their own chemistry experiments in the laboratory. Apart from having fun and applying key concepts in the topic on Rates of Reaction. The safe use of chemicals such as using secondary containment and safety spectacles; data recording in the chemistry report were discussed. This was part of bringing out the discipline required of students to do higher science. Readers of Chemistry will learn that the speed of reaction depends on five major factors. The examination questions base on this key concept are in fact easy to score. Student should understand in terms of molecular movement with respect to: 1. Temperature of the reaction mixture 2. The surface area of the reactants 3. The pressure of gaseous reactants 4. Presence of catalyst 5. Concentration of the reactants In this investigation, the students namely Syaqil, Faheem and Isaac (first left, middle and right) have charged equal volume of Vinegar ...
