The materials that this experiment needed was ten milliliters of ammonium hydroxide solution, beaker, five beral-type pipets, bunsen burner, twenty milliliters of copper(II) sulfate solution, evaporating dish, hot plate, twelve milliliters of hydrochloric acid, four pieces of magnesium ribbon, one milliliter of phenolphthalein indicator solution, two milliliters of potassium iodide solution, three milliliters of silver nitrate, two grams of sodium bicarbonate, one milliliter of sodium bicarbonate solution, seven milliliters of sodium hydroxide solution, two milliliters of sodium phosphate solution, test tube holder, fourteen 13 x 100 mm test tubes, five 20 x 150 mm test tubes, tongs, and water, deionized or distilled. First, reactant formulas, …show more content…

In reaction one, the magnesium ribbon was held, with tongs, in a burner flame and observations were made. Reaction two first heated fifty milliliters of water in a 150 milliliter beaker and was heated until it was boiling. After, the water was removed from the heat and using tongs, the magnesium ribbon was dropped into the hot water and two drops of phenolphthalein was added to the mixture. Observations were made and reaction three began. A 13 x 100 mm test tube was used and, using a beral pipet, five milliliters of the hydrochloric acid solution was added. After, the magnesium ribbon was put into the mixture and observation were taken into account. Lastly, the magnesium ribbon was cleaned and added to a 13 x 100 mm test tubes which contained about two milliliters of the copper sulfate solution and observation were made at the end of the …show more content…

In reaction eleven, 0.2 grams of solid sodium bicarbonate was placed in a 13 x 100 mm test tube. Using a beral-type pipet, one milliliter of the hydrochloric acid solution was added to the test tube and when the substance reacted, observations were made. Later, in a 13 x 100 mm test tube, one milliliter of sodium bicarbonate solution was mixed with one milliliter of the hydrochloric acid solution and the reaction between the two substances was studied and observed. Again, a 13 x 100 test tube was used and about one milliliter of the silver nitrate solution and one milliliter of the hydrochloric acid were mixed together to create a reaction. Observations were then made and written down. Finally, a 13 x 100 mm test tube was utilized to mix about one milliliter of the sodium hydroxide solution and one milliliter of the hydrochloric acid solution. Conclusively, observations were made and part III of the lab
