Question

Help with a Lab please?

Answer 1

For this lab, we will be using small items, such as candies, to represent chemical compounds undergoing a reaction. Draw a line down the middle of a sheet of paper and label the left side of the paper “R” for reactants and the right side “P” for products.

R Two arrows stacked on top of each other. The top arrow point to the right the bottom arrow points to the left. P

To represent molecules that are reactants, you will place candies on the reactant side of the paper; products will be candies on the product side of the paper. Reactions will be represented by moving a candy from one side of the paper to the other.
Part I

Start with 40 candies on the reactant side of the paper and zero candies on the product side.
Each round, you will be exchanging candies between R and P.
For each round, half of the candies that were on the reactant (R) side of the paper from the last round should be moved to the product side. One-fourth of the candies that were on the product (P) side of the paper from the last round should be moved to the reactant side. (If you end up with a decimal for the number to exchange, round up.)
At the end of each round, count the number of candies on each side of the paper and keep track of the numbers in a data table.

Answer 2

I have tried it multiple times but apparently i've been doing it wrong...
