Project 11: Identification, Properties, and Synthesis of an Unknown Ionic Compound Jacqueline Parker Chemistry 101 Laboratory, Section 10 Instructor: Xiaoyan Yang September 28, 2015 My signature indicates that this document represents my own work.

Discussion of Results The primary goal of this laboratory is to correctly identify an unknown substance. To achieve this task, one may use various tests that reveal both chemical and physical properties of a substance. By comparing the results of a known substance and the unknown substance, one may eliminate alternative possibilities and more accurately predict the undisclosed compound. Furthermore, by performing these tests, data can be collected and verified regarding chemical and physical properties of the unknown. Understanding the chemical properties of a known substance aids one’s understanding of the unknown based on comparative analysis of the results of the tests. In reference to the analysis of anions, Table 1 shows that a precipitate was formed when our unknown was combined with HNO3 and AgNO3, thus indicating the presence of a chloride ion. Because our unknown did not form a precipitate due to HCl and BaCl2, separate, effervesce, or smell, we concluded that neither sulfate, nitrate, carbonate nor
In this Chemistry Lab the main objective is to perform accurate chemical analysis for the quantity of elements and compounds in a sample. There will be a compound made then synthesized. The methods used were acid-base titrations, redox titrations, gravity filtration, and distillation. General conclusions included

The purpose of this lab was to see how certain substances; Naphthalene, Toulene, and and 2 unknowns (one liquid, one solid) react with 3 different solvents. To identify the two unknowns, testing needs to be done to find the density of both the liquid and the solid, determine the melting point of the solid, and the boiling point of the liquid. The Physical Properties of Pure Substances Table can then be used to compare the observed results with the accurate properties from the table. If testing is done correctly, accurate assumptions can be made to figure out what the unknown substances were.
In this experiment, the identity of an unknown organic compound will be determined using these methods. Procedure:
The main motive of the lab was determine the unknown substances identity by its tested characteristics. Considering the results of the lab, substance #1 would be a metal since it has metallic characteristics. A few metallic characteristics are a high melting point, insoluble in water, and a good conductor of a solid and liquid. All of these characteristic are cohesive with the observations made. It had a melting point above 500°C, it did not dissolve in water, and it was a good conductor as a solid and a liquid. It also looked and felt similar to what other metals do. Since it did not dissolve in

Table 1 above illustrated the anions that are taking place within the selected water samples in which the concentration of the anions is different from one type to other. The anions that present in the water samples include Cl-, F-, Br-, NO32- and SO42-; however, no PO43- anion was present in all samples of water.
