Virtual Lab Simulation
The Virtual Laboratory allows students to select from hundreds
of standard reagents and manipulate them in a manner that resembles
that of a real lab. It allows students to design and perform diverse
experiments in acid-base chemistry, thermochemistry, solubility, and
redox chemistry.
