Module 7 Intro

Module 7—Chemical Analysis

Module Introduction

In Module 6 you learned to use the stoichiometric method to predict the quantities of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. In this module you will continue to apply your ability to analyze chemical systems using mathematical relationships.

Is it possible to predict the amount of product that would result if you were given defined quantities of each reactant? You will perform a titration, which is a standard laboratory technique used for chemical analysis. You will then use the results from your titration to communicate information to other students about the substance tested.

Think about the following questions as you complete this module:

• How is stoichiometry used in the design of a chemical system?
• How is stoichiometry used in the analysis of a chemical system?
