A number of characteristic observations can be made for these reactions. In these experiments you will measure temperature increase and test hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases produced in acid ...

As the Easter school holidays get underway, here are five egg-citing chemistry experiments for families to try at home.

Identify the independent (manipulated) and dependent (responding) variables in a scientific investigation. Draw conclusions about the relationship between two variables using quantitative data.

Making citric acid at home is harder than it sounds. Although scientists first isolated citric acid from citrus fruits more than 200 years ago, it’s not the simplest chemistry to pull off. About 100 ...

Computational chemistry generally tries to reproduce experimental reality, but a new study suggests that in the future, the situation may be reversed. The study is one of the first to meet a ...

Stanley Miller, the late UC San Diego chemist whose landmark experiment published in 1953 showed how some of the molecules of life could have formed on a young Earth, left behind boxes of experimental ...

Acids are reactive, and even weak acids like vinegar can wow students with their reactivity. But strong acids can really put on a show, dissolving otherwise relatively inert metals. And aqua regia, or ...

Odd chemical pathways can give completely unexpected makeovers to some of the most troublesome waste; take, for example, an ...
