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