About this item

Discover Double Replacement Reactions in Microscale.

Ideal for reinforcing how to balance a chemical equation
Students use knowledge to predict products
Aligned to NGSS standards (HS: PS1)

In this engaging experiment kit, developed by high school teacher Alan Hooks, students can observe more than 20 chemical reactions by mixing any two of ten solutions. Students will be very excited to observe the formation of many colorful precipitates, gas bubbles, and solution color changes. After observing these intriguing chemical reactions, students will predict the products, and write the complete balanced chemical equations for the double replacement reactions. Chemical usage is minimized by using spot plates and dropper pipettes. Advanced students can use this experiment kit as an introduction to solubilities, as well as a review of double replacement reactions and predicting products of chemical reactions. Includes solutions of eight salts and two acids, spot plates, pipettes and instructions.

The kit is also available for purchase with a link to a NewPath digital lesson, which includes a variety of resources on the topic, including background information, illustrations and self-assessments.
