OCR Chemistry PAG 1.1 Simulation

Transform your chemistry lessons with this fully interactive, browser-based web simulation modeling the reaction between basic copper carbonate and sulfuric acid. This resource allows students to safely investigate advanced stoichiometry, sample purity, molar volume at RTP 24 dm3/mol), and the effects of temperature on gas volume without the limitations of physical apparatus. Ideal for remote learning, front-of-class demonstrations, or guided student inquiry, this application delivers a rich, immersive laboratory experience right in the browser.

Key Features & Educational Benefits Dynamic Visualizations & Color Changes: Features an animated analytical balance, an inverted 300 cm3 graduated cylinder tracking water displacement, and a reaction flask that visually shifts color as the green copper carbonate solid dissolves into a translucent blue copper sulfate solution. Multi-Variable Control Panel: Students can independently adjust: Reactant Mass: From 0.20 g to 3.00 g. Water Temperature: From 5 - 80 C, demonstrating real-world factors like gas solubility and Charles’s Law thermal expansion.
