Result of Observation: Flame Test

chloride solutions, which resulted in a variety of colored flames. The color with which each cation

Based the data collected, the identity of the unknown #42 is lithium chloride. Because the unknown compound produced a bright red pinkish flame, shown in Table 1, the possible cations based on the CRC Handbook were lithium or strontium 1.The known 1M lithium chloride also produced the same colored flame as the unknown, suggesting that the unknown compound has lithium. Since lithium produces no precipitate with the compounds in Table 2 and strontium produces a precipitate with the same compounds, the observations in Table 2 indicate that the unknown’s cation is lithium 4. Using the solubility table, process of elimination, and the results in Table 3 the possible anions for the unknown compound were chloride and bromide4. The production of precipitate

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

Because it is dangerous to burn magnesium, it is not possible to directly record heat change. Our lab team suggests an indirect way of determining the heat of combustion for magnesium. To accomplish this, we need to perform two separate trials. One uses a solid (powder) version of MgO, while the other uses Mg ribbon. With the results from these, we can use Hess’ Law to determine q=∆H. This provides both a safe and successful way of indirectly determining the heat of combustion for magnesium.

We repeated this for a total of 6 known substances and 3 unknown substances. We also made a table for each element showing the color of the flame that we saw,

What happened the day of the Triangle Fire? What progressed after it? On Saturday, March 25, 1911. At 4:25, which was 5 minutes before closing time at the Triangle Shirt Factory. The Triangle factory, owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, was located on the top three floors of the Asch Building, floors 8, 9, and 10. Some cutters were smoking, even though it was prohibited. Though it is not certain, people believe that a cutter flicked a cigarette butt or hot ash, into one of the waste bins with flammable cloth in them. Many of the garment workers before the year of 1911 were unorganized, mostly because they were young immigrant

The objective of this lab was to use qualitative and quantitative measurements and observations to properly identify, and then confirm the identity of an unknown compound. After identification, the compound would have to be synthesized, in our case, through an acid-base reaction, followed by confirming its identity with the original unknown compound.

Since NaCL, KCl, and MgCl2 are not even close to the color of the unknown, these three compounds can be eliminated from the list of the possible identity of the unknown compound. Compound Color of flame unknown Deep red/

Every 4th of July, many people go out at night and spend hours watching firework shows. Most of us are content to simply enjoy the pretty colors and sparks, without questioning the chemistry behind the spectacle, but have you ever really thought about how fireworks produce such vibrant colors? The colors emitted when a firework explodes come from an aerial shell inside the firework that contains explosive chemicals and metallic salts. These colors appear to us because of luminescence. Luminescence occurs as a result of the valence electrons in the metal salt atoms moving and changing positions. The explosion of fireworks is not a miracle; it’s simply chemistry at work.

b) Iron and Barium were present in unknown 3. Assigned unknown reacted with all 4 reactants and formed precipitate with 3 of them (Sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and Sulfuric acid). During the experiment it reacted very similarly to Iron (III) nitrate and Barium nitrate. For example, with it was tested against Ammonium Chloride, the color of the solution changed to a light green, very identically to Iron (III) nitrate and Ammonium Chloride. Besides, unknown 3 formed an orange brownish precipitate when it was tested with sodium carbonate. Iron (III) nitrate acted similarly. Moreover, unknown 3 reacted similar to Barium nitrate when it was tested against ammonium chloride and sulfuric acid. It did not form any precipitate with ammonium chloride but formed a very light white precipitate, which is identical to barium nitrate’s reaction against sulfuric acid. Therefore, the two present metal in unknown 3 are Iron and barium.

1- Different elements give off different colors when heated because electrons go farther the nucleus, or to an upper energy level, and once they go back to their original orbit (energy level), they release colors because of the amount of energy released. This also happens because different elements are in different orbits and they hit different orbits as well.

To perform the experiment, you need 2 ml of water, then contain 15 ml of 3m HCL, 6m HNO3, 6M NaOH, then 15 ml of unknown solution each one labeled on a test tube. A flame test will be conducted to determine ions. You will need a spot plate, Bunsen burner, flame-test wire, dropper bottles of 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1 M KCL, 0.1 M CaCl2. Obtain a spot plate. Place 5 to 8 drops of 0.1 M solutions of each of the following solutions into separate indentations: KCL, CaCl2, NaCl, unknown solution. To clean the flame-test wire dip the loop at the end

In this project we examined three explanations that talk about (a) candle(s) in a jar and their investigation reasoning to why the labs they did were concluding in such a way. The first explanation resulted that the candle inside the jar took up all the oxygen molecules inside the flask which then lowers the pressure inside and the higher pressure outside the flask is what causes the water to rise up. The second explanation resulted in that the air pressure increases inside the jar because of the heat from the candle, which causes air to come out of the jar and once the candle cools down the pressure decreases and the pressure outside the jar increases which results in pushing the air in and making the water rise up. The third explanation resulted in oxygen inside the flask becoming carbon dioxide which then dissolves in water causing the air pressure to decrease under the glass and the higher pressure outside the flask pushed the water up the flask. I believe that explanation number three is right because the flame causes carbon dioxide to be created and that

Part A.1. Sodium metal is also readily oxidized by oxygen. If the product of the reaction were dissolved in water, what would be the color of the litmus for a litmus test? Explain. What is the product?

The aim of this experiment was to test the heat of combustion over a period of time, and the energy required to combust alcohols with different carbon chain levels. It was hypothesised that the higher the carbon chain of the alcohol present, the faster the heat of combustion will occur. Meaning more energy will be released for a higher carbon chain. After calculating the results from the experiment it was found that the hypothesis was partially supported. The reasoning for this is as the alcohol that posses a higher carbon chain, generally increased there reaction rates. However there were a few exceptions to this rule.
