Chemical Reaction Lab Report

When two solutions combine and a solid substance is formed, this solid is called a precipitate. In your experiments, if the clear reactant solutions you combined together formed a cloudy product, then a precipitate (solid substance) was formed. Describe the precipitates (according to color and clarity) and the substances that formed them. (18 points) The combinations that formed precipitates in my experiment were MgSO4 and NH3, MgSO4 and Na2CO3, Na2CO3 and CH3COOH.

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?

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.

| Can see particles of both. When mixed with water salt dissolves and sand is left.After filter sand is left and salt-water goes through.After evaporations of salt-water, salt is only left in dish.

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.

The difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions is that endothermic reactions absorb heat, and exothermic give off heat. Dilution of ammonium chloride is an example of an endothermic reaction. This is the active ingredient in chemical ice packs you can obtain in a pharmacy. Other reactions are melting and boiling which also absorb heat to happen, although you may not consider them chemical reactions. Combustion is a typical exothermic reaction any type of burning.An exothermic reaction occurs if the energy of the bonds formed in the products

Single displacement reactions are reactions where one reactant replaces part of the other (Helmenstine, Thought Co, 2014). The elements with higher reactivity replaces the elements with lower activity, an example of this is the statue of liberty that is made from iron and coated with copper, the copper started reacting with air and a bluish green coating is formed. This coating reacts with the iron inside and a single replacement occurs and the outside copper is replaced back (Vista, 2017).

In this experiment it was observed that not all chemical reactions occur at the same rate. Chemical reactions occur when one or more substances are changed into other substances. The properties of a chemical reaction require three things. First, they need a source of energy for molecules to encounter each other. Second, they require to proceed at a steady rate. Third, they must proceed in a particular direction until they reach equilibrium. There are two types of chemical reactions that can occur: endergonic and exergonic reactions. In these reactions there are both reactants and products. In exergonic reactions the reactants (starting materials of a reaction) are higher than the products (results of a reaction). This is opposite for endergonic

In part 1, the precipitate that forms is a aluminum hydroxide and in part 2 it is magnesium hydroxide. A precipitate is an insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution. When the emergence of the insoluble solid from solution happens, it is called precipitation. The property change in the reactants of the lab are when the water, alum, ammonia, react and create the aluminum hydroxide. When the precipitate is formed, it is an endothermic reaction because the change in the product, aluminum hydroxide, decreases in temperature. This is a chemical reaction because different elements rearrange themselves to form a new substance and while they do so, they either absorb heat or give it

This is a chemical change because a new color is created and it is exciting the electrons. Burning is a chemical reaction because there is a new substance being created. There is also a color change and that is another way to tell that it was a chemical reaction. A new substance was made this is why it was a chemical change. If you take ice for example and melt it turns into a liquid. This is not a chemical change because it is still water just in a different form nothing new is created. Unlike when the salt solutions are burned and something totally new is created/

Exothermic reactions can be used for everyday purposes. For example, hand warmers and self-heating cans for drinks (such as coffee) use exothermic reactions.

The main objective is not only to reach the optimum ratio to generate the greatest amount of heat and temperature, but also to maintain a constant volume throughout the entire experiment.

Chemical reactions that release energy are called exothermic reactions, these reactions are observed by an increase in temperature of the reaction mixture.

The next reaction is Combustion reaction, which is defined as a type of reaction where a compound and an oxidant is reacted to produce heat and a new product. A description of the general form is the reaction between Hydrocarbon and Oxygen to create Carbon Dioxide and Water (H2O) ( Anne Helmenstine, Combustion Reaction Definition, 2017).

A chemical reaction is the process by which atoms or groups of atoms are redistributed, resulting in a change in the molecular composition of substances. The reaction rate is how quickly a reaction occurs and this can be affected by four different factors:
