Ionic Reactions Test Kit

This activity is designed to introduce students to ionic reactions. Students will test a series of microscale chemical combinations to learn how to identify if a chemical reaction has occurred. The contents of this kit have been optimized to minimize pre-lab preparation, waste generation, and risks of cross-contamination. Kit contains an Instruction Guide and enough materials for 2 groups of students.
