Driving Force Lab

The other day, we performed a lab where we took two aqueous molecules and put them together to see if they would create a solid. The purpose of the lab was to demonstrate how two soluble molecules can create a solid molecule and how the driving forces can affect this process. It was very interesting to see how some of the reactions would cause an instantaneous reaction that would create a completely different color from the original solution.

The first photo shows our group mixing the two original solutions and the second photo shows a couple solid products of the reactions.
