Calculating Quantities And Classification Of Chemical Reactions

3. Carefully felt the sides of the test tube and observed the resulted chemical reaction for about 30 seconds.

In chemical reactions, the significance of knowing the limiting reactant is high. In order to increase the percent yield of product, increasing the limiting reactant, possibly, is the most effective. In this experiment we were able to calculate limiting reactants from the reaction of CaCl2. 2H2O + K2C2O4.H2O(aq).

The purpose of the experiment is to cycle solid copper through a series of five reactions. At different stages of the cycle, copper was present in different forms. First reaction involves reaction between the copper and nitric acid, and copper changed from elemental state to an aqueous. The second reaction converted the aqueous Cu2+ into the solid copper (2) hydroxide. In the third reaction Cu(OH)2 decomposed into copper 2 oxide and water when heated. When solid CuO reacted with sulfuric acid, the copper returned to solution as an ion (Cu2+). The cycle of reactions was completed with the reaction where elemental copper was regenerated by Zn and Cu

3. Find the number of atoms of each of the substances involved in the reaction.

A chemical reaction is when substances (reactants) change into other substances (products). The five general types of chemical reactions are synthesis (also known as direct combination), decomposition, single replacement (also known as single displacement), double replacement (also known as double displacement), and combustion. In this lab, the five general types of chemical reactions were conducted and observations were taken before, during, and after the reaction. Then the reactants and observations were used to determine the products to form a balanced chemical equation. The purpose of this lab was to learn and answer the question: How can observations be used to determine the identity of substances produced in a chemical reaction?

Aim: The aim of the lab “Chemical Equilibrium” is to observe the effects of changes in concentrations of products and reactants on the position of the equilibrium of given chemical reactions.

The Cu Later lab experiment is designed to allow you to practice lab skills in implementing and performing a series of reactions. Specifically, four types of chemical reactions will occur: oxidation/reduction; double replacement; single replacement; and decomposition. You will begin with a known amount of copper metal, which, after progressing through several steps, is reproduced. In this experiment you will observe and record the various changes such as heat, color changes, and production that occur. This procedure is used to observe some chemical reactions of copper and its compounds while also performing the lab appropriately as to retain the copper as much as

The purpose of this lab was to determine the limiting reactant in a reaction between copper sulfate and iron. Using the reaction between copper sulfate and iron, the reaction was observed to see the reaction and transformation of matter. The copper sulfate was placed into a beaker, as the excess reactant, then iron filings added until the heated solution was completely reacted. This reaction created an excess of leftover. The law of conservation of mass can be observed in this reaction, and using the data found, the percent yield calculated.

There are now many classification systems to classify the different types of reactions. These include decomposition, polymerization, chain reactions, substitute reactions, elimination reactions, addition reactions, ionic reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions.

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe a variety of chemical reactions and to identify patterns in the conversion of reactants into products.

Strontium nitrate, the limiting reagent, was poured into the copper(II) sulphate solution, the excess reagent, rather than the other way around. This is a minor systemic error, because even if some of the strontium nitrate remained in its initial beaker, the beaker was thoroughly rinsed out multiple times. The error causes the final mass of the filter paper and precipitate to be slightly decreased, as not all of strontium nitrate reacts with the copper(II) sulfate. This can explain why the percent yield in 92.2%.

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to observe the many physical and chemical properties of copper as it undergoes a series of chemical reactions. Throughout this process, one would also need to acknowledge that even though the law of conservation of matter/mass suggests that one should expect to recover the same amount of copper as one started with, inevitable sources of error alter the results and produce different outcomes. The possible sources of error that led to a gain or loss in copper are demonstrated in the calculation of percent yield (percent yield= (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100.

Mol of Cu = 0.035983 mol Fe * 1 mol Cu1 mol Fe = 0.035983 mol [III]

Number of particles=1 ×6.022x〖10〗^23 Number of particles=6.022×〖10〗^23 Conversion Refer to the illustration below: Note that conversion must be done in between atoms in terms of moles, atoms in terms of grams, and atoms of the same element. You cannot convert from the mol of atom A to the grams of atom B. Limiting and Excess Reactants

In this lab relating to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass changed because the gas was released from the chemical reaction. The Law of Conservation of Mass demonstrates that before and after the chemical reaction, the mass of reactants and the mass of products have to be the same.
