Product Highlights
Students observe the osmotic pressure phenomenon of colorful upward-growing metallic silicate precipitates. The osmotic pressure phenomenon is the clue to why the precipitates are upward growing rather than sinking. Students illustrate and model what happens at a particulate level and write balanced chemical equations for the 4 precipitation reactions in this demonstration. They then connect the osmotic pressure phenomenon to real-world applications.
