Prezi!

So...a little while back we did a couple labs in Chemistry to learn more about hydrate formulas. The first lab involved some popcorn and the second involved some CuSo4. I did these labs with Morgan, Jocelyn, Destini, and Kelsey so we decided to collaborate on a Prezi together to talk about our labs! Here is the link to the Prezi:

Part 2: Empirical Formulas

In Chemistry we have been working on a couple different important concepts. I recently posted Part 1 on my blog which was a blog post about percent compositions which is a helpful skill on it's own. But! The next step is Empirical Formulas. And to be honest this is one of the most fun things I have done in Chemistry. Above is a flow chart that I made to explain how to solve an empirical formula from percent compositions. On the left side the chart describes the basic steps towards solving empirical formulas, and on the right side I work an example problem to further explain exactly how this process works! This will also be posted on my Pinterest Board which can be found here:
