While cloud seeding (using dry ice or silver iodide to trigger precipitation e.g. to maintain sunny conditions at the Beijing 2012 Olympics) has the potential to prevent any social‚ economic or environmental losses at all through the dissipation of a storm over a safe region‚ it has a number of drawbacks.

Solubility and Stoichiometry I. Introduction The first purpose of this experiment is to apply solubility rules to choose two of eight given reactants to do a precipitation reaction. The second purpose is to use stoichiometry to calculate how much of a reactant will be used in a precipitation reaction‚ assuming that the amount of product is given‚ and to figure out the actual yield vs. the theoretical yield and to calculate the percent yield. The other purpose of this experiment is to practice the
