How do you weigh water trapped inside a solid crystal? You burn it out 🔥
This week, AP Chemistry students heated hydrous salts over Bunsen burners to calculate their exact chemical formulas. By taking mass measurements before and after, they found out how to derive a chemical formula straight from the source.
By seeking solutions and driving innovation through hands-on lab work, their understanding of chemicals and compounds went from theoretical to tangible.
