Scheikunde oefening - voor zover ik het begrijp, moet men de inhoud van "potjes" identificeren m.b.v. bepaalde processen. Of zoiets. Weet iemand een Engels equivalent?

Explanation:
Wordt wel gebruikt. In de context van een scheikundeles op school is wellicht "mystery substance identification" leuker.

Ik vind dat "compound identification problem" wel duidelijk in je toelichting, maar veel minder in het woord "potjesvragen" zelf terug, minder nog dan in het woord "test tube experiments."

Asker: Ja ik had ook aan "test tube" gedacht maar de term (fraai Nederlands woord!) betekent meer zoiets als "compound identification problem"
