More chemistry sims
- Choose the separation method simGet a mixture card, drag the right apparatus onto the bench in order, and see whether it works: filtration, evaporation, crystallisation, distillation, fractional distillation, a separating funnel, chromatography, a magnet or sublimation, chosen from the substances' properties.
- Complete and incomplete combustion simChange a Bunsen burner's air hole, pump its gases through a U-tube in ice, limewater and a CO meter, collect soot on a cold dish, and watch a candle under a beaker run out of oxygen.
- Condensation polymers and hydrolysis simPull a nylon thread from between two liquids, build a polyamide or polyester as a water molecule leaves at each link, then break the chain back into monomers by acid hydrolysis.
- Conductivity tester simDip carbon electrodes into solid, molten and dissolved sodium chloride, sugar solution and ethanol, and touch them to graphite, copper and sulfur. A bulb and ammeter show the current; a close-up shows whether ions or electrons are free to move.
- Conservation of mass simWeigh three reactions on a 0.01 g balance: a precipitate in a flask, marble fizzing in acid with the bung in or out, and magnesium burning in a crucible; plot mass against time and explain each change.
- Empirical formula of magnesium oxide simBurn magnesium ribbon in a lidded crucible, weigh to constant mass and work out the formula MgO from your own readings.
