AP Chemistry
AP Chemistry topics appear in 23 Scivra investigations. This collection groups the catalog's existing unit references so students and teachers can connect a topic with an interactive model, a public investigation guide, and questions for comparing predictions with evidence.
Choose a question to investigate
Start with one prediction, change one condition, and keep a measurement with units. These starting points use this collection's existing catalog alignments. The unit groups below retain the full mapped list; they do not establish complete AP coverage or replace required hands-on work.
Infer an unknown concentration
Record delivered base volume and pH, then defend an indicator choice using the titration curve.
Acid–Base TitrationTest a changing equilibrium
Predict the response to a disturbance and compare the new mixture with the starting equilibrium.
Equilibrium & Le ChâtelierCompare chemical evidence
Use a chromatogram to compare an unknown with standards under matching conditions.
Chromatography & Separation
Plan your AP laboratory work against the current College Board course-audit requirements. Course guides are public; simulation access is shown on each course page.
AP Chemistry Unit 1
AP Chemistry Unit 2
AP Chemistry Unit 3
Chemistry
Gas Laws
Squeeze, warm, and cool trapped air. Find absolute zero.
Chemistry
Flame Tests & Atomic Spectra
Dip a salt in a flame and the color changes. What is the light really made of?
Chemistry
Bonding & Properties of Solids
Test unknown solids for melting, dissolving, and conducting. Identify the bond type.
Chemistry
Evaporation & Intermolecular Forces
Wrap probes in alcohol-soaked paper. Which liquid cools fastest, and why?
Chemistry
Polymers & Designed Materials
Stretch, bend, and cross-link polymers. How does chain structure change the material?
Chemistry
Heating Curves & Phase Changes
Heat ice until it boils. Watch the thermometer and the energy meter.
Chemistry
Solutions & Solubility Curves
Add salt and sugar spoon by spoon, then heat and cool a solution. When does it become saturated?
Chemistry
Chromatography & Separation
Separate the dyes in a marker. Which molecules travel farthest, and why?
Chemistry
Spectrophotometry & Beer's Law
How much dye is in the drink? Build a calibration curve and find out.
AP Chemistry Unit 4
Chemistry
Acid–Base Titration
One drop, six pH units. Find the equivalence point and pKa.
Chemistry
Moles, Formulas & Limiting Reactants
Burn magnesium to find its oxide formula, then seal a reaction in a bag. Does the mass change?
Chemistry
Reaction Types & Activity Series
Drop metals into salt solutions. Which ones react, and what do the atoms do?
Chemistry
Precipitation & Gravimetric Analysis
What makes some water "hard"? Test water samples and measure what is in them.
Chemistry
Acids, Bases & pH
Two acids, same concentration. Test them with probes, indicators, and a light bulb.
Chemistry
Electrochemical Cells
Build a battery from two metals and a salt bridge. Then run it backwards to plate copper.
Chemistry
Redox Titration: Hydrogen Peroxide
Titrate peroxide with purple permanganate. The first lasting pink tells you how much was there.
AP Chemistry Unit 5
AP Chemistry Unit 6
AP Chemistry Unit 7
AP Chemistry Unit 8
Chemistry
Acid–Base Titration
One drop, six pH units. Find the equivalence point and pKa.
Chemistry
Precipitation & Gravimetric Analysis

Chemistry
Acids, Bases & pH
Two acids, same concentration. Test them with probes, indicators, and a light bulb.
Chemistry
Buffers
Two liquids read the same pH. Add the same acid to both and predict what happens. Then design your own buffer.
AP Chemistry Unit 9
Chemistry
Hand Warmers: Enthalpy & Hess’s Law
Design a hand warmer that reaches 20 °C above room temperature. Which salt, how much?
Chemistry
Equilibrium & Le Châtelier
Add, remove, heat, and cool. Watch the color shift as the equilibrium pushes back.
Chemistry
Electrochemical Cells
Build a battery from two metals and a salt bridge. Then run it backwards to plate copper.
Questions about this collection
Which labs are included in this AP Chemistry collection?
The 23 distinct courses below have an explicit AP Chemistry reference in Scivra's catalog. A course can appear in more than one section when its catalog entry lists several references.
Does this collection cover the entire curriculum or replace required laboratory work?
No. These are selected catalog alignments, not accreditation, an official curriculum audit, or complete course coverage. Virtual investigations support preparation and explanation; they do not replace required hands-on laboratory work or safety instruction.
How can I use the course guides before an investigation?
Open a course card to read its public guide, model conditions, and frequently asked questions. Use the guide to choose a variable, make a prediction, and plan a measurement. Simulation access follows the access information on that course page.
