Overview
In this lesson, students will observe a double displacement reaction where varying amounts of each reactant are used. They will be asked to focus on the amount of one product in the reaction and how the amount of that product changes relative to the amounts of each reactant used. The goal of the lesson is for students to understand the molar relationships in a reaction and why adding coefficients to a reaction is sometimes necessary.
