Sodium fluoroacetate, known more commonly as 1080, is a chemical compound that is used as a pesticide in New Zealand, to control the population of the common brushtail possum. It occurs naturally in several plant species as a defence mechanism against herbivorous organisms, but can also be produced synthetically. When being used to eliminate possums, the poison is typically in the form of a small, green, marshmallow-esque pellet, called a ‘bait’. These baits are then covered in a cinnamon scent,
Chemical Bonding Report The two compounds assigned are the ionic compound sodium fluoride, and the molecular compound phosphorus trichloride. As Chandler (2016) suggested, sodium fluoride has many uses in the real world, such as in toothpaste, water treatment, and industrial uses. Sodium fluoride is a white powder that can be dissolved easily into water. It is recommended for most adults to have three grams per day. Small amounts are added into toothpaste and normal drinking water, which is why water
Have you exhausted yourself trying to lose that extra weight? Have you gone on every diet and bought every gimmick that other women have had success with to no avail? Losing weight is just more difficult for some of us than others, which can be discouraging- But if you figure out WHY this is occurring, well, then you can change it. First of all, think about your habits and the foods you consume. Are you a smoker, dependent upon caffeine, or binge drink a few nights a week? Are the majority of your
leading producer of sodium bicarbonate, popularly known as baking soda, a natural product which cleans, deodorizes leavens and buffers. The Company's Arm & Hammer brand is one of the nation's most trusted trademarks for numerous consumer and specialty products. The company has multiple plants in United States and Brazil from where they export their product. Their subsidiary in Brazil also manufactures various inorganic chemicals, such as sodium sulfide, sodium sulfite, sodium metabisulfite, barium
also found in many common things like, bleach. Bleach makes clothes white to take out at the stains. The salt many people have on their table is composed up of one sodium and one chlorine atom. There are not natural sources of chlorine in its pure element (gas) form. But it is mostly found in the earth's crust along with sodium, potassium, and manganese chlorides. The impacts chlorine has on the environment depends on how long it is the environment and how much of the substance is present.
Every reaction that occurred during this lab was a double replacement reaction, or a chemical reaction in which two aqueous compounds react with each other and result in two different compounds where one is either a solid precipitate, a liquid (water), or a gas. A precipitate in this case is a solid that exits the aqueous solution during the chemical reaction because it is too heavy to stay in the solution. Clear signs of a chemical reaction occurring is the formation of a precipitate, especially
In the lab sodium hydrogen carbonate will react with hydrochloric acid. Then with the data gained from the lab, the use of stoichiometry is used to calculate the mass of the product, and compare the theoretical data to the actual data to calculate the percent error. When reacting the two compounds, it is placed over a heat source. The stoichiometry in the equation is to calculate the theoretical mass, or calculated mass, that is reacted from the compounds. The actual amount was the mass of the product
The acetic acid was clear, colorless and in a liquid state. The sodium bicarbonate, however, was a white powder, in a solid state. The reaction caused the new substance to bubble and foam, producing a gas. (Table 4) Quantitative Observations from Part 2 - Mass of Sodium Bicarbonate (g) | 1.01 | Mass of Acetic Acid (g) | 14.29 | Mass of Products (g) | 14.88 | Analysis Part 1: The chemical reaction that took
chemicals used. Safety: There are two potential hazards in this experiment. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) has risks as it is a corrosive compound. Corrosive compounds, including HCl, can cause injuries such as burning and eating away skin and eyes. To prevent such injuries, do not come into physical contact with HCl. Wear safety glasses, safety gloves and lab clothing. Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) is risky as it is a toxic
The objectives for the Limiting Reactant Lab was to determine out of the equation Ba〖Cl〗_(2 (aq))+ 〖Na〗_2 〖SO〗_(4 (aq))→ 〖BaSO〗_(4 (s) )+2 〖NaCl〗_((aq)) which compound is the limiting reactant from choosing either A or B for the experiment. The purpose for part one is about 〖Na〗_2 〖SO〗_(4 (aq)) and Ba〖Cl〗_(2 (aq))*2H_2 O, when adding water and resulting in 〖BaSO〗_(4 (s) ) is allowed to precipitate. From the two values the percent yield can be calculated. The purpose for part two is the formation
