Problem Set 1 - Virtual Lab Activities

In the following activity, you will be using the ChemCollective virtual laboratory. This software allows you to design and carry out your own experiments, much as you would in a real chemistry lab. To ensure that you successfully complete each assignment, you will enter your answers into a form on the web page and get feedback regarding the accuracy of your response and, when possible, hints as to how to better achieve the goal of the activity. You can try the problem as many times as you like but please be aware that each time you reload the web page, you will get a different problem that will have a different solution.

For each part, submit printed copies of the web page that states that the problem was solved. For PART 3a, also submit a description (typing preferred) of the process used to solve the problem.

To help you get started, please view a short video introducing the virtual lab and its features. If you have technical problems using the software on your machine, please email: vlabhelp@chemcollective.org.

  Note you may need to install the Java J2SE JRE for the Virtual Lab to run correctly on your computer.

Please enter your personal information in this form...
