Potassium dichromate, a chemical compound renowned for its vibrant orange-red hue, serves a multitude of purposes across industries. Widely used in industrial settings, it finds application in the manufacturing of pigments, dyes, and inks, lending its distinctive color to various products. Moreover, in laboratory environments, potassium dichromate acts as a potent oxidizing agent, crucial for diverse chemical reactions and titrations. Its ability to undergo reduction makes it indispensable in analytical chemistry, particularly for determining reducing agents. Additionally, potassium dichromate has historically been employed in wood preservation treatments due to its ability to protect against decay and insect damage. However, its toxic nature necessitates careful handling and disposal procedures to mitigate environmental and health risks. Despite its challenges, potassium dichromate remains a valuable component in numerous industrial processes and analytical techniques, showcasing its enduring importance in modern applications.
For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.
Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.
To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.
The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.
Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
