Exp 2: Chemicals in Everyday Life: What Are They, and How Do We Know? Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to be able to witness chemical reactions at first hand from different known household substances. From the reaction itself, students will be able to identify substances which were present. Procedure: A. Fill a 150 mL beaker with 1 mL of household ammonia, then hold a dry piece of red litmus paper over the beaker and record observations. Repeat same process but with a moist piece of red litmus paper from distilled water and record observations. In a test tube, place 1 mL of 1 M NH4Cl and hold a moist piece of red litmus in the tube then record observations. Then add 1 mL of 8 M NaOH, mix and repeat test and record observation. Place a pea size amount of fertilizer in a test tube, add 1 mL of 8 M NaOH, then test with moist litmus paper. Hold a moist piece of litmus paper over the mouth of an open jar of ammonium carbonate and fan your hand over the jar to detect any familiar odor. Record observations. B. In a small test tube, place a pea size amount of solid baking soda, then add 1-2 drops of 18 M H2SO4 and record observations. Repeat steps but use vinegar instead of H2SO4 and record observations. In a small test tube, place a small piece of chalk and add a few drops of 2 M HCL. To test the escaping gas, hold a drop of Ba(OH)2 on a wire loop close to the mouth of the test tube. Record observations. C. In a small test tube, place a pea size amount of sodium chloride and add 1-2 drops of 18 M H2SO4. Note color and odor observations. Place a sea size amount of NaCl in a different test tube and add 15 drops of distilled water and 1 drop of 3 M HNO3, then add 3-4 drops of 0.1 M AgNOs and mix. Record observations. Add 1 drop of 3 M HNO3 to 2 mL tap water than add 3 drops of 0.1 M AgNO3. Record findings. Place the tip of a spatula with a few crystals of table salt in the flame and record observations. D. Place a small amount of Epsom salt in a test tube and add 1-2 drops of 18 M H2SO4, then record observations. Dissolve a small amount of Epsom salt in a test tube that has 1 mL of distilled water, then add 1 drop of 3 M HNO3, and 1-2 drops of 0.2 M BaCl2. Record observations. E. Dissolve a small amount of sodium iodine in 1 mL of distilled water in a test tube, then add 5 drops of bleach. Recognize the color and add drops of mineral oil, shake, and wait for layers to separate, then record observations. In a separate test tube, dissolve a small amount of sodium iodide in 1 mL of distilled water and add a drop of 3 M HNO3, then add 3-4 drops of 0.1 M AgNO3. Record observations. In another test tube, place a small
amount of sodium iodide and in the hood, add 1-2 drops of 18 M H2SO4, then record observations. F. In a test tube, place a small pea size amount of the unknown substance and add a drop of 18 M H2SO4. Record observations and formula for the unknown ion.
