The goal of this experiment is to have students obtain Potassium and Sodium Carbonates from wood ash. Wood ash contains a mixture of various minerals and compounds that are combined in a heterogeneous mixture. This mixture of minerals contains the wanted Potassium and Sodium Carbonates, and the students will conduct various purification processes in order to extract the Potassium and Sodium Carbonates. This lab experiment also demonstrates the difficulties our ancestors had when extracting these Carbonates. The principle behind how the carbonates can be purified is due to the minerals various solubilities in warm and cold conditions. The process of purification that the students completed was a series of mixture heating and filtrations. Each
Reaction 3- 1. Obtained a clean and dry test tube and placed a small amount ( about the size of a jelly bean) of ammonium carbonate into the test tube.
In experiment A the results from the precipitation of CaC2O4 H2O from the salt mixture were obtained by weighing the items listed on Table 1 on a scale.
The solution of the formed ash and the water is basic, which was shown using the pH paper where its color became blue. A chemical change occurred. It is described using the following chemical reaction:
Experiment 55 consists of devising a separation and purification scheme for a three component mixture. The overall objective is to isolate in pure form two of the three compounds. This was done using extraction, solubility, crystallization and vacuum filtration. The experiment was carried out two times, both of which were successful.
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
The purpose of this experiment was to separate the component of three mixtures sand, sodium chloride and calcium carbonate then calculate the percentage by mass of each component recovered from the mixture. The other purpose of this experiment was to show us the students the concepts associated with physical and chemical properties of substances.
There are millions of different organic compounds. Most of them are found in mixtures and in order to achieve a pure form they need to be separated, isolated, and purified. However, there are endless numbers of possible mixtures, which make it impossible to have a pre-designed procedure for every mixture. So chemists often have to make their own procedures. The purpose of this experiment was to prepare the student to the real world by them designing their own procedure which will help them understand the techniques of separation and purification better. The goal was to extract two of the components of the
The objective of this extraction experiment was to achieve a comprehensive understanding, as well as master the practice, of the technique of separating various individual components of a compound.
1. Develop hypotheses predicting the effect of pyrite and coal on the acidity of water?
Eleven mystery test tubes labeled from K-1 to K-11 contained: 6M H2SO4, 6M NH3, 6M HCl, 6M NaOH, 1M NaCl, 1M Fe(NO3)3, 1M NiSO4, 1M AgNO3, 1M KSCN, 1M Ba(NO3)2, 1M Cu(NO3)2 respectively. The contents of the test tubes were determined by chemical experiments. Solution K-1 contained NiSO4 because when solution K-9, ammonia which was identified by its pungent odor, was added, an inky dark blue color was made. Iron (Fe (NO3)3) was determined to be in test tube K-2. KSCN was found in test tube K-11 since Fe (NO3)3 and KSCN makes a bloody color when mixed together. Flame tests were conducted in which K-8
The volume of carbon dioxide gas produced from a reaction was measured in order to determine what carbonate sample was used. A gas assembly apparatus was used to capture the gas from a reaction between an unknown carbonate and 6M hydrochloric acid; three trials were performed. The mass of the unknown carbonate was determined, and the reaction occurred in a test tube. The volume of gas produced by the reaction was measured, and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide was calculated after the partial pressure of water vapor was determined using Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures. The percent mass of carbon dioxide gas was then calculated, and the average mass percent was compared to the table of known carbonates. It was concluded that the unknown carbonate sample used in the reaction was magnesium carbonate.
Experiment was followed as stated in CHEM 2420 Experiments in Organic Chemistry from the University of Wyoming, written by Dr. Ed Clennan and edited by Malgorzata M. Clennan. However, the following deviations were made. In step 5c, 0.74 grams of boiling stones were added. In step 6, the heat was set to medium and was turned higher as the experiment progressed.
How much sodium chloride can be formed with sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid? The law of conservation of mass is being and the law of definite proportions is being used. Sodium Chloride will be the result of the reaction between two compounds. The expected result for the product was for it to be around 1 gram. After finding the theoretical yield it was expected to be something less than the theoretical yield. The independent variable would be the boiling of the water while the dependent is the Sodium chloride.
During the years of 1943 and 1944, Karl M. Waage conducted a study for the U.S. Geological Survey. The study was used to determine if the high alumina clays in south-central Colorado could be mined as a possible source of aluminum. High alumina clay, also known as refractory clay, is used for making brick and other materials that are exposed to high temperatures. The refractory clays in the study were contained within formations dating to the cretaceous period (Waage, 1953, p. 2).
The scope of this paper is to explain the reaction that takes place when Mentos are dropped into Diet Coke. This experiment is used frequently because of what happens when the candy meets the soda. A geyser is formed that shoots out of the bottle that resembles a volcanic eruption. Due to the similarity, it is also used for volcano projects. Depending on the alterations to the Mentos and/or Diet Coke, the geyser can either go much higher or much lower than normal.
