Description

In this limiting reagents problem, students are given random volumes and concentrations of DNA solutions and are asked to predict what will remain after a reaction has occurred. Students can check their prediction by mixing the solutions in the virtual lab and then enter their final answer using the form at the bottom of the page.

Resource Type	Autograded Virtual Lab Automatically graded activities provide randomly generated unknown solutions. Our web forms grade students’ answers to questions automatically and provide feedback for common student errors.
