INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES: Instructional objectives are stated. INSTRUCTIONAL PREREQUISITES (Inferred): Users should have had science instruction at the 9-10 grade level. CONTENT AND STRUCTURE: The program simulates an acidic or basic titration of a solution of unknown strength. The necessary equipment is displayed graphically. After the titration has been completed the user is tutored in performing the necessary calculations. The results are compared to the actual normality of the unknown solution. ESTIMATED STUDENT TIME REQUIRED: Twenty minutes. POTENTIAL USES: This package can be used as a pre-lab for students to perform before doing an actual titration experiment in the laboratory.
