The headline might read "Burning of the Amazon Rain Forest Released a Billion Tons of CO2 Last Year." How can scientists know that? How can they measure a gas released into the atmosphere? One way is to use 'stoichiometry.' If a chemist knows how much fuel burned, she can calculate the amount of the gas released using a balanced chemical equation. Today students will perform a lab to determine the amount of CO2 released when a candle burns. This is based on an article I 'published' last year on ChemEdX. https://www.chemedx.org/activity/how-burning-candle-can-teach-stoichiometry?fbclid=IwY2xjawP2-ttleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFjbzV3M2RUUHlHSFN0ektCc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHtFu_gs_lnuSe8vyWv9CMbTB3JyZYdmBgV0i6pC_AvtxRlnoCE-lcVnjVPOj_aem_F6UTfnWh1sLCoZoWb1jSbg

Alchemy - I turned lead into 'gold.' The Merlin the Magician folks were tasked with this. They likely discovered this reaction and it gave the impression they were on the right track. Lots of good chemistry came from it.
This is actually lead (II) iodide, and it is quite toxic.
Benzoic acid, C7H6O2, shown here as HA, is used in a variety of products. It's a food preservative, an antiseptic used to treat bacterial and fungal skin infections, and a stabilizer in cosmetics and personal care products. Here students are calculating the pH of a .35M solution of this weak acid.
The 2025-26 Illinois 5 Essentials Survey is released until March 13th.
