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 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

When the zinc was dropped in the hydrochloric acid, the substance began bubbling vigorously, forming a precipitate. Eventually, the zinc dissolved completely. After the lit wooden splint broke the surface of the test tube, there was a loud popping noise. The gas that was released was hydrogen from the acid and the popping noise was a result of the Hydrogen being burned up by the fire creating a small explosion. Two chemical changes occurred in this test: one with the formation of a precipitate (a textbook sign of a chemical change), and the other when the explosion

What is the percentage yield of the reaction of iron and copper chloride when steel wool and copper chloride dehydrate are used as reactions?

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.

The objective of the experiment was to observe different reactions with different chemicals. The experiments emphasized on the chemical changes occurring in acids and bases as well as color changes and bubble formations. The experiments allowed for a better understanding of the undergoing chemical changes in mixtures. Some mixtures instantly changed colors while others were transparent or foggy. Some mixtures produced thick color that created solids called precipitates. Mixtures KI + Pb(NO3)2 and NaOH + AgNO3 both produce noticeable precipitates after a while. It was interesting to see the different acidic and base reactions like the fuchsia color formation in NaOH + phenolphthalein.

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.

The goal of the stoichiometry lab was to use stoichiometry and percent yield to compare how much product was supposed to be produced with how much was actually produced by experimentation. In this lab, the reactants aluminium and copper (II) chloride were used to form aluminium chloride and copper.

In the lab you must first dissolve the alloy in nitric acid; if the allot doesn't completely dissolve it may cause some error in your final result because not all of your silver ions were dissolved. You then must make a solution of distilled water added with sodium chloride. Once you calculate the amount of sodium chloride needed you must double the amount for the experiment to push the reaction to a full completion. This essentially should precipitate all of silver and none of the copper. No accurate balance is needed to measure out the sodium chloride because as long as you have an excess of

Objective: To determine if mass has increased or decreased during a chemical reaction. Hypothesis: There will be no change in mass for reaction one and each reactant. From the information of the Law of Conservation of Mass, there will not be any change in mass during and after the chemical reaction. There will be no change in mass for reaction two and each reactant.

When mixed with hydrochloric acid (appendix 4), they react violently, hence why only a small portion was allowed for this experiment. This supports the hypothesis, that is, it was predicted that such a reaction would occur as these metals are highly reactive, hence why the hydrogen gas produced was clearly visible (appendix 5). Tin is less reactive, however, according to the Metal Reactivity Series, reacts with acids at an extremely slow rate. This was evident in the experiment; however, more of a reaction would have occurred if the time frame was expanded. The metal was only left in the acid for five minutes; therefore, it had no reaction but could of, had it been left a while longer. Magnesium and Calcium are both alkaline earth metals which means that they all have an oxidation number of ‘+2’, making them highly reactive. Calcium is more reactive than Magnesium even though it is located below it on the periodic table (appendix 6) because its electron configuration is ‘2,8,8,2’ while Magnesium’s is ‘2,8,2’. This means that Calcium has more shells which, therefore, means that there is less of an attraction to the nucleus. This makes it easier for Calcium to lose electrons and react more so than Magnesium. According to the Metal Reactivity Series, in order from the most reactive to the least reactive, tin is located at around the middle of the

The main purpose of this experiment was to show that single displacement reactions between metals according to their reactivity, with more reactive elements having the power to displace less reactive elements and take their place in a chemical compound (Beran, 2014). This was supported by the results of the experiment, where solid metals were combined with aqueous solutions that contained another element, and reactions only took place when the solid metal was more reactive than the other element in the compound. Only three attempted trials resulted in a failure to produce a reaction, namely the combinations of copper with hydrochloric acid, and copper with nickel sulfate. The outcomes of these trials are justifiably reasonable because copper is ranked lower in the

The cations in both the known and unknown samples were identified by using qualitative analysis, of which were determined to be acidic, basic, or neutral by using litmus paper. Acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, and the formation of complex ions are often used in a systematic way for either separating ions or for determining the presence of specific ions. When white precipitate formed after adding hydroxide, aluminum ion was determined to be present in the solution. However, nickel was determined to test positive when the solution changed to a hot pink color after adding a few drops of dimethylglyoxime reagent and iron was present when the solution was a reddish brown color when sodium hydroxide was added to the mixture at the very beginning of the experiment. Qualitative analysis determines that ions will undergo specific chemical reactions with certain reagents to yield observable products to detect the presence of specific ions in an aqueous solution where precipitation reactions play a major role. The qualitative analysis of ions in a mixture must add reagents that exploit the more general properties of ions to separate major groups of ions, separate major groups into subgroups with reactions that will distinguish less general properties, and add reagents that will specifically confirm the presence of individual
