This "lab" is pretty short and should be straightforward for you to complete (as long as you can do some calculations!) You will actually do two simulations but each should only take a short time to collect data in Beyond Labz.
In each simulation you will weigh out some substances (either pure elements or compounds) and use the concepts of atomic mass, molecular mass and the mole (Avogrado's number) to do some calculations. Refer to the Kotz textbook 9th Ed Chapter 2, sections 2-9 (pages 77 - 83) for help with these concepts.
In each simulation you will weigh out the substances and record their masses (it will be a different mass for each of you!)
SIMULATION 1: COUNTING ATOMS
Download the Beyond Labz worksheet for Counting Atoms. Preview the documentPrint this worksheet so that you can follow the directions on what to do, fill it in and submit it. (Please use this worksheet from Canvas instead of looking in the Beyond Labz software.)
Now launch the Beyond Labz software, and open the Chemistry Lab.
To launch the simulation look at the list of worksheets on the bottom left of the window. Click "Reactions and Stoichiometry" and then select "Counting Atoms (3)" (make sure you select the correct simulation, there is more than one. The lab will then open.
Follow the instructions in the Counting Atoms worksheet. It is a good idea to read through the entire worksheet first before you begin so that you are aware of what is expected.
As you progress through the simulation, fill in data and observations on the worksheet in blue or black ink. No pencil! Even though this is a virtual lab this is good lab practice and also important to make sure your submitted work will be clear enough to grade.
For calculations in the worksheet show your calculation set up, not just the final answer.

PREPARING AND SUBMITTING YOUR WORK
After you complete the worksheets, take a picture of each completed page or scan them. Make sure the quality is good enough to view clearly. If I cannot read it, I will not grade it.
It is best to submit as a PDF or .jpeg (jpg) file. You can submit one file for each page of the table or combine them into one file.
It is best if you submit one file for each simulation.
