Product Details

Inspire your students’ curiosity about supersaturation, solutions, and crystals with this easy and engaging demonstration! Drop a seed crystal into a flask and watch the chain reaction as the supersaturated sodium acetate solution crystallizes and releases heat. This demonstration is great for teaching solutions, solubility, and exothermic processes. After watching the demonstration, your students’ understanding of supersaturation will be “crystal clear!” Concepts: Supersaturation, exothermic, crystallization. Time Required: 10 minutes Materials Provided: Sodium acetate, 250-mL Florence flask, and a rubber stopper.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS1-2. Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
MS-PS3-4. Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
