Phase 2 – Dynamic Understanding
► Investigation One Summary – Lab Goals
In Investigation One, you analyzed how chemical compounds react in a chemical reaction to produce other chemical compounds and sometimes heat. During this Investigation, you:
1. Examined chemical reactions using the following reactants:
a. ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH)
b. hydrochloric acid (HCl)
2. Constructed a calorimeter to measure the temperature change resulting from the chemical reactions.
3. Observed any changes in the liquid chemical that may have occurred as a result of the chemical reactions.
► Investigation One Summary – Learning Goals
Through these experiments, students will conclude that:
- As the amounts of the reactants increase, the amounts of the products produced also increase.
