Abstract

Microscale experiments offer several attractive features for the beginning chemistry course: a reduced consumption of chemicals, low cost materials, improved safety in the laboratory classes, and a non-existent waste disposal problem. The microscale approach were applied to five general chemistry experiments: Stoichiometry of a Salt Formation, Concentration Effects on Reaction Rates, Reversible Reactions, Electromotive Force of Galvanic Cells and Electrolysis. The microscale experiments generated results which were similar to the macroscale analogues.
