Lab Report On Chemical Equilibrium

6-3: This process is used by cells to manufacture _biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products__

The main objective of this experiment is to differentiate between a physical change and a chemical change.

Procedure- The procedure for this lab includes many simple steps and a few different things we are testing. Our first Procedure was to combine water and salt to see what kind of reaction it would make. First we fill the graduated cylinder with 100 ml of water. We then measured 1.0 grams of table salt on a balance to get an accurate amount. After, we took the measured amount of salt and poured it into the water filled beaker. Lastly, we watched and recorded 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.

Examine a piece of nichrome wire. On the data sheet, record the color and the luster of the metal. Use a forceps to hold the wire in the flame of your burner for about two minutes (recall where the hottest part of the flame is located). Describe the appearance of the wire while held in the hottest part of the flame. Allow the wire to cool and reexamine it. From your observations, determine if there was a physical or a chemical change. Give specific reasons for your conclusions. Save the nichrome wire for step #2.

Day 1. Michael was coming home for vacation from college. When he got home he found out that

Substances A and B have an appearance of a white solid like. Substances A and B were put into a test tube and on the Bunsen burner. As a result, B melted faster than A. A was slow to melt. The reason why B melted faster than A is because it has a lower boiling point than substance A which made it melt faster. It also shows that A needs more energy than B to be broken down.

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.

Table 2: Consists of color extract taken from a red cabbage for a natural indicator. The pH reading that was measured by using the pH meter and the result of the pH reading to determine whether the solution was acidic or basic.

In experiment 3.11, we found out whether or not a larger amount of a liquid would get hotter when it boils. To answer this, we heated a specific amount of unknown liquid and recorded the temperature every fifteen seconds. In our scatter plot, we were able to find the boiling point of our liquid. We know that the slope of our graphs is when the liquid molecules were moving around and heating up. The plateau of our graph points is where the liquid started to evaporate and boil. This is were we found our boiling point at. Shantel and I decided that our boiling point was about 98º Celsius. If you had another slope in your graph, that was when you were simply heating the leftover gas. The histogram showed us that there were about equal amounts of data in the higher temperature (about 95º Celsius) bins for both 20mL of liquid and 10mL of liquid. Also, in the lower temperature bins (75º to 80º Celsius) there was about equal amount of data for 20mL of liquid and 10mL of liquid. There was 7 pieces of data for 10mL of liquid in the lower bins, and 6 pieces of data for 20mL of liquid. If a larger amount of liquid did have a higher boiling point, the clusters would be organized by volumes or amount. For example, all of the 20mL pieces of data would be in the higher temperature bins, and all of the 10mL pieces of data would be in the lower temperature bins or flipped. Rather, the bins were clustered by identity. The boiling point is a characteristic property.

When a system at equilibrium (meaning it is stable and will not undergo any more action) is subjected to change in concentration, temperature, volume, or pressure, the system adjusts itself to counteract the effect of the applied change and a new equilibrium is

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.

Dynamic Equilibrium: Two offsetting processes occur at equal rates, producing a state of balance where no net changes is observed.

Overall, the experiment succeeded that the metals show the theoretical properties. Differences existed in the mathematical calculation of the actual length. These differences, however, it can be accounted for by experimental error; more over there are uncertainty on purity of the
