AP Chemistry Lab Experiments

Kinetics

Determining rate law of chemical reactions

Calorimetry

Determines change in enthalpy of a process

Redox Titrations

Determines the concentration of an analyte in solution; typically does not involve the use of an indicator as the solutions are already colored

Component Separation

Use differences in intermolecular forces to sparate a mixture or determine identity of parts of a mixture

Acid-Base Titrations

Used to characterize an acid/base; needs an indicator to show equivalence point.

Gravimetric Analysis

Use to determine amount of analyte in solution; involved with percipitation reactions and mass percent calculations

Spectrophotometry/Colorimetry

Using the absorption of light to determine the identity/concentration of an analyte in solution.
