Alkaline Earth Metals Lab

784 Words4 Pages

Alkaline Earth Metals Lab Report INTRODUCTION: This lab is designed to find a pattern in reactivity of different alkaline earth metals. Alkaline earth metals are elements in group 2 of the Periodic Table of Elements. These include Calcium, Magnesium, Barium, Strontium, Beryllium, and Radium, all of which are found in natural compounds and react with water, except for beryllium. Groups are sometimes called families, because they share chemical properties, behaviors, and reactions, due to the fact that they have the same valence electron shell configuration. They are the second most reactive metal, next to Alkali metals, which are in group one. Alkaline earth metal have two valence electrons. Losing electrons becomes easier the more sublevels there are in an …show more content…

Calcium was then added into the water. A second test tube was then placed over the first, in order to collect anything given off from a reaction between the calcium and water, if it ensues. If a reaction does occur, the “collection tube” would then be placed over a lit splint. Following this, observations were taken on what had presented itself so far. Then, a drop of phenolphthalein was added to the calcium and water mixture, which could also be called the reactant tube. If the water changes colors after it’s added, that means the mixture is a base. Observations recorded on this step focused mostly on physical changes. To go even more in depth for part A, magnesium was also tested for reactivity. The steps for Mg are consistent with the steps for Ca, apart from that in this instance, the test tube is boiled after the metal is added to the water. Observations were still recorded. Part D also observed reactivity. First, 1 mL of MgCl2 was combined with 1 mL of Na2CO3 in a clean, empty test tube. In another, CaCl2 and Na2CO3. Then, observations were noted for

The compounds tested in included the unknown, Calcium Nitrate, Calcium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride. The next test was the pH test. In this test, the aqueous solutions from the flame tests were used again. A piece of pH paper was dipped into the aqueous solutions, a different piece for each solution. The ensuing coloration of the paper was compared to the pH scale and the

Aluminum Foil In Copper Chloride

181 Words | 1 Pages

When we placed the aluminum foil in copper chloride, a chemical reaction occurred. Before the reaction took place we had aluminum foil and copper chloride as our reactants. After the reaction happened, the products were aluminum chloride and copper. After the foil was placed in the copper chloride, the color of the aluminum foil had changed from a shiny silver, to a deep red. Also, the color of the copper chloride changed from a light blue to a murky green.

Single Replacement Lab: Conclusion Questions Vaidehi Phirke To summarize the observations from the lab, many of the outcomes were similar in appearance, but different in their products’ chemical compositions. Of the reactions in which solid magnesium was added into the various solutions, 4 (which included copper (II) sulfate, lead (II) nitrate, silver nitrate, and zinc sulfate as reactants) of the total 5 that occurred resulted in the seeming disintegration of the solid magnesium into black flakes (color change) and the other one (which included sulfuric acid as a reactant) resulted in furious bubbling and fizzing (gas production). Of the reactions in which solid copper was added into the various solutions, only one reaction was observed (in which silver nitrate was a reactant) and it resulted in the blackening (color change) and flaking off of

Aluminum Foil Lab

The products were aluminum chloride and copper. A change in properties demonstrates that a chemical reaction occurred. One property that changed was the colors. Initially the aluminum foil was a shiny silver, and the copper chloride was a green-blue liquid. After we placed the aluminum into the copper chloride solution, the liquid clouded up a lot and turned to a light grayish hue.

Throughout the experiment, copper was altered a total of 5 times, but after the final chemical reaction, solid, elemental copper returned. Each time the solution changed color, a precipitate formed, or when gas appeared, indicated that a chemical reaction was occurring. For the first reaction, copper was added to nitric acid, forming the aqueous copper (II) nitrate (where the copper went), along with liquid water, and

Empirical Formula Of Copper Chloride Lab Report

As the water was added to the heated sample, the solid copper chloride began to dissolve into a pretty blue-green solution, as a result of the compound breaking apart into individual Cu2+ and Cl- ions. When the water was first mixed with the copper chloride, it dissolved the solid pretty slowly, turning into a sort of mush at first. However, eventually, the water dissolved all of the solid copper chloride and the solution was homogenous. Since the compound just changed physical form, from solid to liquid, this change was purely physical. Just as in the first part of the experiment, the chemical character of the compound was not altered, so the compound did not experience a chemical change.

The purpose of the lab was to discover the properties and the trends of the alkaline earth metals. In part A, the trend was as the atomic number increase in the alkaline earth metals the elements are more reactive. The alkaline earth metals each have two electrons in their outer shell and because all electrons want to become stable they are ready to give up the two electrons. When they are combined with water, the chemical reaction occurs differently based on each element.

Investigation A: The chlorine from the copper chloride combined with the aluminum foil to create aluminum chloride. The dark substance left on the bottom of the beaker was copper. An exothermic reaction occurs, causing the temperature of the beaker to increase. It is a chemical reaction because two new substances are formed: copper and aluminum chloride. The chemical composition is changed, meaning the chemical formula changed from 3 CuCl2 + 2 Al to 2 AlCl3 + 3 Cu (David’s Digital Portfolio).

In this experiment I set up a lab that examined how 5 different concentrations of HCL (each concentration differing by 5ml of HCL) reacted with CaCO3 and performed three trials for each concentration of HCL, I then found then average of the results and used the averages to form an accurate graph comparing the rate of reaction for each concentration of HCL when mixed with CaCO3 chips. In this experiment I placed 5g of CaCO3 chips in a conical flask and then mixed the different concentrations of HCL with the calcium carbonate. As soon as all of the acid was poured in I attached a delivery tube to the conical flask and watched the CO2 form in upside down graduated cylinder (see diagram). The reaction observed

Rare Earth Research Paper

Abundance Occurrence and distribution of rare earths are not only of interest because of their usefulness for industry but also because they have raised a discussion whether rare earths might be essential for plants, animals and even humans. The most plentiful rare earth element, cerium, occur more often in the earth’s crust than lead, molybdenum or arsenic. Lanthanum and neodymium occur in similar quantities as lead. But even thulium, the rarest of the rare earth elements, can be found more often than gold, platinum or iodine. On this fate, REEs are not “rare” at all.
