Product Details

Create a series of colorful solutions of manganese-containing ions and solids showing the various hues produced by the six oxidation states of manganese. Project the image of a 6-well plate filled with solutions of manganese(II) ions and manganese(VII) ions. By adding specific reactants to each well, the manganase oxidation state series of +2 through +7 is created, along with the corresponding color series of light pink (+2), rose (+3), dark brown (+4), blue (+5), green (+6), and purple (+7). Students make observations of the color changes and test their skill at balancing redox reactions. Includes Teacher Notes with helpful teaching tips, reproducible student worksheets, and enough materials to perform the demonstration seven times. Concepts: Oxidation–reduction, oxidation state, half-reactions, oxidizing and reducing agents. Time required: 15 minutes Materials Provided: Potassium permanganate, manganese sulfate solution, sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfite, sulfuric acid, 6-well reaction plate, Beral-type pipets, toothpicks.

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
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.
HS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
