Material Type: Module
This resource includes readings from OpenStax Chemistry 2e, two mini-lectures, and a Ted Ed video on the conceptual understanding of the relative strengths of acids and bases.
Material Type: Lecture, Reading
This module includes an interactive acid-base titration that allows students to select an acid (general "strong" or several weak), initial concentration of the acid and base, and initial volume of the acid. Then, students click on the virtual stopcock to add base.The curve is generated while the correct equation is highlighted for each part of the titration.
Material Type: Module
This module is an introduction to the relationship between stoichiometric coefficients, limiting and excess reactant, and theoretical yield. Includes a worked example asking for theoretical yield given two starting masses, to identify the limiting reactant, and calculate the percent yield from a given hypothetical "actual" yield.
Material Type: Module
This multi-part module introduces covalent bonding and Lewis structures as a model of covalent bonding.Starting with valence electrons, a method of connecting unpaired electrons and/or redistributing valence electrons to satisfy the octet rule is introduced.Numerous examples are presented including CO, ozone, and polyatomic ions
