The Atomic Weight Of The Unknown Barium Carbonate

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.

During the immersion of the magnesium metal in the hydrochloric acid solution, white bubbles could be seen escaping the surface of the metal as gas was produced during the reaction. Depending on the temperature of the hydrochloric acid and the overall molar concentration, the rate of reaction differed but the same signs were shown. During the reaction between the magnesium metal and higher concentrations of hydrochloric acid, it was observed that the test tube grew quite warm to the touch. As the immersed magnesium strip sank down, it appeared coated in a layer of white bubbles that fizzed like a carbonated drink. In the lower concentrations of hydrochloric acid, the strip spent some time floating at the surface of the solution in the test tube, later sinking down to the bottom as the

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.

We were assigned mystery powder convertible which contained calcium carbonate, baking soda, and sucrose. We found out that the mystery powder had calcium carbonate because when it reacted with iodine it turned orange/brown. When calcium carbonate reacted with vinegar it had a fizzy-like reaction. It also reacted with hydrochloric acid and that caused it to bubble. When we tested the mystery powder it also turned orange/brown when we added iodine. Also when we added vinegar and it also fizzed like the calcium carbonate. Again when we added the hydrochloric acid it reacted exactly like calcium carbonate, lots of bubbles were made. We know that the calcium carbonate was in the mystery powder because it had similar reactions.

The purpose of this lab was to test the law of definite proportions for the synthesis reaction of combusting magnesium. In this lab, the polished magnesium ribbon was placed in covered crucible and was heated in order for it to react with Oxygen presented in air and in water provided. The result showed that Magnesium oxide formed through chemical reaction was made up of 60.19% magnesium and 39.81% oxygen, which is approximate proportion of both particles in every Magnesium oxide compound. From this lab it can be concluded that the law of definite proportion stating that the elements in a pure compound combine in definite proportion to each other is factual.

The goal of this lab was to determine the amount of grams of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) required to produce enough CO2 gas to completely fill the lab and also how many Alka-Seltzer tablets that would equate to. This was done by collecting CO2 gas by inverting a buret and submerging it under water in order to calculate the volume of CO2 released from a fragment of Alka-Seltzer tablet. The main component of Alka-Seltzer is sodium bicarbonate, used to neutralize excess stomach acid during illness through the following reaction that generates CO2:

The purpose of this experiment was to mix Alka-Seltzer with Hydrochloric acid in order to analyze Sodium Bicarbonate as an active ingredient in the Alka-Seltzer. The mixture will contain hydrochloric acid to only see the composition of Sodium Bicarbonate in the tablet once it reacts. The amount that reacted allowed us to determine how much of it is present in the tablet. The amount of sodium bicarbonate will be measure by using the ideal gas law PV=nRT. The experiment will be conducted in the lab, therefore we are going to use room temperature which ranges from 15 to 26 degrees celsius. At room temperature pressure ranges from 12.8 to 25.0 millimeters mercury according to its corresponding room temperature.In the ideal gas equation R is 0.08206latm/mol k which is a constant. Once we have those values we can calculates the number of moles that reacted in the mixture by solving for the missing value. With the number of moles we are able to find the mass in grams which is what will potentially tell us the composition of Sodium Bicarbonate in a tablet of Alka-Seltzer.

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

To begin Lab 7 of Chem 115, a clean and dry porcelain crucible and its cover were obtained. Next, an iron ring was attached to a ring stand. A clay triangle was placed on top to the ring and a Bunsen burner was placed under the ring. Following the setup for the experiment, the crucible and its cover were placed on the clay triangle and were heated for about five minutes. After, the burner was turned off and the crucible and cover were left to cool to room temperature. Once the crucible and its cover had reached room temperature, tongs were used to move them to a wire gauze. Using the wire guaze, the crucible and its cover were transported to an analytical scale to weigh and record the mass of it. Next, a strip of magnesium was obtained and

The purpose of this lab was to determine the percent cobalt and oxalate by mass, and with that information, the empirical formula for cobalt oxalate hydrate, using the general formula Coa(C2O4)b.cH2O.

CO2's weight will allow me to determine the weight of the sodium bicarbonate by using stoichiometry and will be tested by dissolving Alka Seltzer in water and vinegar to cause the reaction.

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to find the relative solubilities of some salts of the Alkaline Earths and use that information to find the order which they appear in the periodic table; also use that information to efficiently find an unknown alkaline earth halide. Also to find the relative oxidizing powers of the Halogens given and using that information finding the order of the Halogens in the periodic table; also use that information to efficiently find an unknown Halogen.

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.

Stoichiometry has many uses in the real world. In the chemical industry and in professional scientific experiments, scientists use stoichiometry to save money. Scientists use stoichiometric calculations to determine the amount of a substance they need to purchase for a specific reaction. There are four possible reactions that can occur when sodium bicarbonate thermally decomposes. In this lab, stoichiometry was used to find out which balanced chemical equation out the four best represents the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate.
