Physical and Chemical Changes Dry Lab Grace Montenaro 1/21/2024 Purpose In this laboratory experiment, chemical and physical changes are investigated with the goal of discerning their distinctions. Pairs of different substances were combined and examined to observe their chemical or physical reactions, and the outcomes were recorded in data tables. The observed changes primarily involve alterations in color, precipitation, gas release, and the production of heat. Procedure A stable internet connection must be secured. Observe the videos provided, starting with activity 1. Record the chemicals being mixed, their reactions, whether it’s a physical or chemical change, and why you picked physical or chemical change in date table 1. The video can be viewed multiple times for a thorough understanding of the experiment. This process is repeated for the following 9 activities. A hydrochloric acid solution will be combined with sodium carbonate solution, a sodium polyacrylate powder will be mixed with water, a copper sulfate solution will be mixed with a sodium carbonate solution, a phenolphthalein solution will be mixed with a sodium hydroxide solution and that solution will be mixed with a hydrochloric acid solution, a copper sulfate solution will be mixed with a sodium hydroxide solution,
1 a hydrochloric acid solution will be mixed with a magnesium metal, a copper sulfate solution will be mixed with sodium chloride, table salt, a copper sulfate and sodium chloride solution will be mixed with aluminum, and a copper sulfate solution will be mixed with an iron nail. Once finished, the lab questions should be answered fully with college level writing and an experimental conclusion will be written. Experimental Data Data Table 1 Acti vity Chemicals Mixed Observations Type of Change: Physical or Chemical Explanation 1 Hydrochloric acid solution with a sodium carbonate solution When mixed gas is formed causing it to bubble. Once settled it goes back to its clear state. Chemical Production of gas 2 Sodium Polyacrylate powder with water A white gel is formed but can be changed again later if heat is added. Turning the Sodium Polyacrylate back into powder. Physical The two materials can be separated once mixed by applying heat. 3 Copper sulfate solution (blue) with sodium carbonate (clear) The mixture turns light blue and forms a precipitate and gas bubbles. Chemical Produced a new substance in the form of the precipitate 4A Phenolphthalein with Sodium Hydroxide (clear) The solution turns pink. There is no change in temperature and no gas released. Chemical A color is produced by mixing two clear solutions. © 2017 Carolina Biological Supply Company
2 Acti vity Chemicals Mixed Observations Type of Change: Physical or Chemical Explanation 4B Previous solution with Hydrochloric acid solution The solution changed its color back to clear and the temperature increased. No gas is produced. Chemical The color pink is lost completely, not made lighter, and heat is produced showing the rise in temperature. 5 Copper sulfate solution (blue) with Sodium Hydroxide (clear) The mixture turns dark blue and forms a precipitate. There is no change in temperature. Chemical The color became darker from adding a clear solution and produced a new substance in the form of the precipitate 6 Hydrochloric acid solution with Magnesium metal Gas is formed producing bubbles and the temperature increases. Chemical Gas and heat are produced. 7 Copper sulfate solution (Blue) with sodium chloride (table salt) The color of the solution changes from blue to light blue/green. Physical No new compound was formed, no gas was released, and no heat was produced. The salt sank to the bottom of the solution and did not mis with it. The color change is because mixing blue and white produces that color. 8 Copper sulfate and sodium chloride solution (blue) with aluminum (metal) The color changes to light blue, gas is produced, the aluminum begins to turn orange, and the temperature increases. Chemical Mixing blue with aluminum does not produce an orange color normally. Gas is being produced, forming bubbles. And heat is being produced causing the temperature to increase. 9 Copper sulfate solution (blue) with Iron nail (metal) The color of the solution changes to a lighter blur and when the nail is removed from the solution the color has changed to a copper color. Chemical The nail changes color from a slicer metal to a coppery color. Lab Questions 1.
