Candy Cane Mole Massing Lab
A favorite Christmas item is the Candy Cane.
In this lab, you will be working with a chemical you can actually touch (and a lot of the time you want to eat it). The chemical is called sucrose (the chemical formula is C12H22O11) but we call it "table sugar or simply sugar". It is actually a group of atoms we call a molecular compound where (due to the elements Electronegativity differences) the elements share their valence electrons. In this lab, we will make pretend that sucrose is not a molecular compound but an element (so be quiet about this and don't tell anyone OK).
