Learn on PengiAmplify Science (California) Grade 7Chapter 4: Science Seminar (Case Study: The Diamond Heist)

Lesson 2: Modeling Reactions

Key Idea.

Section 1

Modeling the Synthesis

Key Idea

Hydrofluoric Acid is made of Hydrogen and Fluorine atoms.

To create it, a suspect needs reactants that contain these specific atoms.

Section 2

The Fluorine Constraint

Key Idea

The Law of Conservation of Matter acts as the ultimate filter. You cannot make Hydrofluoric Acid without Fluorine atoms.

If a suspect's supply list has no Fluorine source, they are scientifically cleared.
