This interactive simulation teaches how to use dimensional analysis. Users solve problems by dragging and dropping conversion factors to build calculation pathways, reinforcing concepts like mole ratios, molar mass, and conversions between grams, moles, liters, and particles. The simulation provides immediate feedback to guide learning and practice.
This virtual lab explores limiting reactants through two chemical reactions. Reaction one is silver nitrate and sodium chloride. Reaction two is zinc and copper II sulfate. Students weigh reactants, observe macroscopic changes and particle-level interactions, and perform stoichiometric calculations. They determine theoretical yield, percent yield, and the amount of excess reactant remaining, reinforcing key concepts in chemical quantities and reaction analysis.
