GREEN CHEMISTRY: DETERMINING THE COMPOSITION OF AN UNKNOWN MIXTURE

Often times, the composition of a mixture may contain a variety of unknown components. In some cases, the components of a mixture may be known but the exact amount of those components in the mixture is not. Analytical chemists often have a variety of tools and techniques to analyze unknown substances and arrive at conclusions with regards to the compounds/percentages in the mixture.

  • In this activity, students will determine the percent composition of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate in an unknown sample.
  • The mixture is heated vigorously until the sodium bicarbonate is completely decomposed to sodium carbonate.
  • The only other products of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water.
  • After performing the necessary calculations, students will determine the percentage of sodium bicarbonate that was present in their original sample.
  • Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups.
  • Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
