Lab+Number+1-Limiting+Reactants

Lab Number 1-Limiting Reactants:

In this lab, you will learn what the concept of a limiting reactant is and how to calculate its effect. First, you need to mix baking soda and acetic acid (vinegar) to create one of our favorites, CO2 gas! You all have probably done this before to make chemical rockets, etc. We will do a class demo using a chemical rocket before this lab starts by launching a film canister! __**Sharing with ITA high school:**__ We will share our work with fellow students of our class and the chemistry class at ITA high school! They are doing the same lab and will document their results on this Wiki just like you. So make your lab good, because your classmates here and at ITA will be reviewing your work.
 * __Introduction:__**

__**Purpose of this Lab:**__ The purpose of this exercise is it to teach you about limiting reactants which is critical in industry. This lab will also teach you about web skills of today such as reviewing someone else's work and publishing your own work through a Wiki. These are real skills that you'll use in the working world very soon.

__**Lab To Do Items:**__

 * (10 pts) Poll of how the Wiki impacted the Limiting Reactant lab:

__**Resources:**__ Here are some websites that might help you: Worked example of calculating limiting reagents Wikipedia definition of limiting reactants Videos showing all about limiting reactants on YouTube

Below is a video that gives a nice explanation about percent yield: media type="youtube" key="4OeKFsVRmfQ" height="160" width="218"

Thank you all very much. Please ask me all of your questions. I am sure there will be questions since this is a big assignment. Mr. Pearl
