Lab Final Mrs. Hsi/Horne Redmond High School January 6th 2015 Maddi Bibby and Lisa Brinton Abstract The purpose of this lab is to observe the reaction between sodium bicarbonate and calcium chloride take place, determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and which is the excess reactant, determine the theoretical mass of the precipitate that should form, and compare the actual mass with the theoretical mass of the precipitate and calculate the percent yield. In the lab, it was determined that Na CO had an average final mass of 7.41g after the three trials were performed. It was found that CaCl had an average final mass of 5.53g from the three trials performed. (Data Table 1) When Na CO was mixed with water, it …show more content…
Sodium carbonate, known for being found in soaps in glass, is soluble when mixed with water. When in its pure form, it is a white, odorless powder that can absorb moisture from the air (Sodium). On the other hand, calcium chloride can be used to melt ice on the roads, control dust, and act as a preservative for foods. It too rapidly absorbs water, but is a crystalline, lumpy or flaky texture that is usually white and quite soluble in water (Calcium). To understand this lab completely, it is important to know the concepts limiting and excess reactant. A limiting reactant is the reactant that limits the amount of product that can be produced in a reaction. An excess reactant is the opposite, or the reactant that remains after a chemical reaction is performed and the limiting reactant runs out (Stoichiometry: Limiting). The stoichiometry calculations determining what should happen can be found in the calculations section. The solid should form calcium carbonate. The uses for calcium carbonate are as a filler and coating pigment in paper, plastics, paints, and coatings. Also, it is a very effective dietary supplement and is critical to the construction industry as a building material. This solid is extremely important and necessary in everyday life (What …show more content…
One error that could have affected the percent yield is not filtering out all of the liquid from the filter paper in the funnel before setting it off to dry. This would have increased the final mass of the solid, not making it accurate. To stop this from happening again, the liquid could be drained more thoroughly until it fully stops dripping into the Erlenmeyer flask. Another error that could have affected the percent yield is the amount of trials performed. This would have made the results less accurate and made any errors change the final results even more. To make sure this doesn’t happen, there needs to be more trials to increase the precision of the results. Abstract The purpose of the lab was to determine what each of nice substances was based upon how they reacted with other chemicals as well as their pH levels. By using the given clues, the reaction with Litmus paper, and the precipitates formed by different mixtures, the chemicals were identified. Substance 1 was found to be BaCl , substance 2 was determined to be NaOH, and substance 3 was labeled as CuSO . Substance 4 was found to be NH Cl, substance 5 was determined to be AgNO , and substance 6 was labeled as HCl. Finally, substance 7 was found to be NaBR, substance 8 was determined to be
If it was NaCl there would have been no precipitate formed during this final
Identification of an Unknown Compound using Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis Lauren Tremaglio Chemistry 1011 Lab, Section 16 Instructor: Steven Belina October 3, 2014 Our signatures indicate that this document represents the work completed by our group this semester. Experimental Design and Discussion of Results The objective of this experiment was to identify an unknown compound through quantitative and qualitative analysis. In order to find the identity of the unknown compound, an initial qualitative test for solubility was performed.
The last goal was to determine the percent yield of a product formed during a reaction with the unknown compound. Experimental Design The first day of lab consisted of various preliminary tests that helped identify the unknown compound.
Exercise 1 1. Suppose a household product label says it contains sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate). Using your results from Data Table 1 as a guide, how would you test this material for the presence of sodium bicarbonate?

In the round-bottom flask (100 mL), we placed p-aminobenzoic acid (1.2 g) and ethanol (12 mL). We swirled the mixture until the solid dissolved completely. We used Pasteur pipet to add concentrated sulfuric acid (1.0 mL) to the flask. We added boiling stone and assembled the reflux. Then, we did reflux for 75 minutes.
I. Purpose: To experimentally determine the mass and the mole content of a measured sample. II. Materials: The materials used in this experiment a 50-mL beaker, 12 samples, a balance and paper towels. III.
This finding could have been due to experimental errors which affected the results. Discussion
3. In this experiment, the percent yield was 90%. This number implies that there was little error in this experiment. However, this result could have been caused by certain external factors.
Title: THE BALLOON INFLATION REACTION Introduction: Chemistry is one thing that makes us understand and gives us reasons of why certain reactions gives certain results. In this experiment we will be illustrating the reaction between baking powder and vinegar and see what happens to the balloon that is attached to it. Hypothetically the reaction of the vinegar and baking powder will produce carbon dioxide which will inflate the balloon. If the more vinegar may happen that when more vinegar is added to the baking powder it may produce more carbon dioxide thus the balloons diameter increases.
Using the Law of Definite Proportions, the mass of this product was used to determine the number of moles of copper and chlorine in the sample, which led to being able to determine the
The actual data is the result on our experiment vs theoretical, which is based on the calculations above. I have also learned to pay more attention to draining out all of the product completely before continuing to test the experiment, as any small drop of contaminant can veer our results into a different
Everyone knows the simple and easy experiment of vinegar and baking soda, but do you really know how it works. This paper will not only explain what makes these two very different chemicals react, but also what materials you will need to accomplish this easy science experiment. Baking soda and vinegar are two different chemical with two very different uses, they are not really even supposed to be used for a science experiment, take vinegar for example, some individuals use vinegar for cooking. Baking soda has a very different use, it is used for bee-stings. When vinegar and baking soda are combined, the hydrogen ions in the vinegar interact with the sodium and bicarbonate in the baking soda.
This indicates that the reaction has limited the amount of moles it reacts with. The number of moles in 0.3 grams of baking powder is 0,00357mole. In vinegar it is 0,8375 moles. This indicating that as 0,00357 is smaller than 0,8357, 0,00357 is the maximum amount of moles that can interact with the moles from vinegar. Therefore, once 0,00357moles have reacted of the 0.3 grams of baking powder, the reaction will stop.
For example, in the response experiment, a yeast solution was prepared without sugar mistakenly and thus had to be prepared again. This suggests that other errors in preparation and measurement could have been encountered. For the future, careful measurements using clean uncontaminated flasks would eliminate possibilities of such error. A source of error for the metabolism experiment involves the yeast’s yellow hue. It is possible that the color of the yeast caused the solution to look more
The CO2 gas produced can be used as an indicator for the rate of reaction as the amount of CO2 gas that is collected with in a fixed time is proportional to the rate of reaction. Therefore, the average rate of reaction can be calculated by measuring the amount of CO2 collected for a set period of time. The rate expression of the reaction is written as: rate = k[CaCO3]a[HCl]b 1 http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a601032.html 2 http://www.thechemicalblog.co.uk/10-uses-of-hydrochloric-acid/ Page 2 of 7 k represents the rate constant, a and b signify the order of reaction with respect to the reactants. The order of the reaction is the power to which the concentration of that reactant is raised to, for example, doubling the concentration of a reactant that is first order would double the rate of reaction while doubling the concentration of a reactant that is in the second order would quadruple the rate of reaction.
