i used to think that we had to memorise chemical equations. now i know how to apply my knowledge to find out chemical equations from the reagents.

I used to think that I would not be able to identify unknown salts via experiments. Now I know that I can do so using my prior knowledge of chemistry and conducting experiments using computational thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that Acids and Basis could only be applied in school, but now I realised that it can be applied for many sectors in STEM.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that there were not much uses for the different  reactions we learnt (eg. precipitation reaction) but now I know it can be used for purposes like identifying unknown salts.

# data[].attributes.body
i used to think that identifying the solubility of salts would be difficult.
now i know that it's not that hard with practice :)

i would like to thank my groupmates for being very inquisitive and always ready to try out new things.

i used to think that knowing how to identify salts was not necessary, but now i think that it is actually quite interesting

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that you can only find out the identity of

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that you had to test to see what a salt was altogether but now I know that I can test for an anion and a cation separately.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that finding unknown salts would require a lot of work and would require concepts that we have not learnt

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that there wasn't a way to identify a salt through any experiments. However, I now know that salts can be identified through qualitative analysis (test for anions, test for cations).

I did not know that it was possible to identify unknown salts through mixing it with other chemicals.

i did not know of ionic equations as well as the separate tests for cations and anions. Now I have a clearer idea for how salts and their properties are interconnected with methods of salts preparations

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that identifying salt is very tedious and difficult. Now I think that identifying salt is fun.

I used to think that identifying salts and solutions would be a complicated process but really it just requires methodical and structured thinking

i would like to thank my best budz for always providing another perspective and bouncing off each others' ideas 😍

# data[].attributes.body
i used to think that there was only one way to identify salts. now i know that there are many different methods that one can use to identify different salts based on the possibilities given.

# data[].attributes.body
i used to think that we could identify salts easily with both cations and anions in one go. now i know that we do it separately.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that testing for salts involved only general testing methods such as litmus paper and universal indicators.
Now I know that testing for salts can also be done through observing the products of precipitation reactions between unknown salts and known salts.

# data[].attributes.body
thank you for doing this quickly

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that finding unknown salts would be a long and tedious process but now i know that with proper planning it can be a very fast and efficient process :D

# data[].attributes.body
i would like to thank my group mates as they managed to figure out a quick course of action after the ammonium hypothesis was wrong and we had no procedure to follow

To Natasha, Hayley, Shineta and Meredith:
Thank you for thinking quickly on your feet even though our plan went terribly wrong

To Mrs Pang:
Thank you for your very detailed explanations! They enabled me to make clear connections between what I have learnt and the methods of salts preparations along with the test results :)

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that identifying unknown salts would be impossible but now I know you can test using experiments

# data[].attributes.body
i used to think that ionic equations, oxides and bonding are all separate concepts, however now i know that they are related

# data[].attributes.body
thank you for being such efficient 🏃🏻‍♀️💨 and cool 🧊 floridians!

# data[].attributes.body
yall cool thanks for carrying the group :")

# data[].attributes.body
ayo group members thanks for being helpful and efficient :-)

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that the solubility of each salt was insignificant; now I understand that it is an important factor to consider when deciding on a separation technique/method to obtain certain salts.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you grpmates for being efficient and reliable!

to florida man group

thanks you guys are the best i love you all

# data[].attributes.body
thank you buddies y'all vv amazing:))

# data[].attributes.body
Thank u 4 teaching and being patient with us mrs pang ~

I used to think that that salts were identified through a singular experiment that would determine entirety of formula. Now, I see that different tests can be used to identify cations and anions and then one would put two and two together to form the identity of a salt.

# data[].attributes.body
thank you guys y'all are so fun to work with :DD

# data[].attributes.body
thanku for being so smart

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that unknown salts are identified with tests of which the reactions must be memorised to be able to successfully identify the salt, now I know the the reactions are connected to the nature of the salts and therefore their chemical characteristics

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that the solubility of salts do not matter much. However, through this activity I could see the significance of solubility and how it could help us deduce and identify a salt.

A big thank you to grace and xavi for being the sweetest and the bestest lab partners in our bizarre adventured to discovering sodium carbonate, as well as a thank you to xinyi for being there in our hearts to guide us through the scary parts like grace  dropping the test tube!

Thank you Roselyn and Grace for helping me with the bunsen burner :) and thank you Xinyi for contributing so much to the mindmap + doing your best to help despite being unwell :< rest well everyone

and thank you Mrs Pang for helping us! sodium carbonate turned out to be repeated.
