Purpose: To determine whether certain changes in matter are chemical or physical and also to describe the changes through observation. Hypothesis: When mixing sugar with water, ethanol and hydrochloric acid, they are going to react and the baking soda mixed with them will also react and it is going to have a chemical change. The salt will also react to everything and iron would also react to everything except for water. Predicted Data: Sodium Chloride: Water 1 minute: Nothing will happen 10 minutes: The sodium chloride will dissolve Ethanol 1 minute: The odor will change 10 minutes: The odor will change and it will dissolve IM Hydrochloric Acid 1 minute: The odor will change 10 minutes: The odor will change …show more content…

Some of the chemicals used reacted when combined with other chemicals. These chemical reaction occurred between the iron filings and the IM hydrochloric acid. This was a chemical reaction because an odor change was observed. Another chemical reaction that happened was that when mixing the iron filings and the IM hydrochloric acid, it was bubbling. Even though some of the chemicals reacted, some of them did not react at all. An example of chemicals not reacting is when the iron filings mixed with Ethanol did not react at all overtime. Another example was when the sodium chloride was mixed with the ethanol, it did not react at all. The results told that it physically changed because when the salt was dissolved in the water, it could be brought back by boiling the water. In conclusion, my hypothesis was partly right because some of the materials used, worked and some changes occurred with them physically and chemically but it was also wrong because the some of the chemicals such as sucrose and Sodium Hydrogen Chloride did not react at all with the other chemicals. Some errors that could have happened is when using the scoopula, the chemical could have accidentally been mixed in with different chemicals such as iron filings mixed with sucrose and could have a reaction even though it shouldn’t

The same metal was placed in vertical columns in an effort to organize the metals. Groups moved to each solution labeled and covered the metal in the respective solution. Observations to how each metal reacted to a solution were then recorded. Each metal was covered in five different solution compounds. Unless the metal and the solution compound contained the same element, such as iron and iron (III) chloride.

of Sodium bicarbonate (NaCHO3), and 5 mL of phenol red solution were all placed at separate location inside the baggie. Finally all the air was pushed out of the bag, the bag was sealed, and the contents were mixed thoroughly. Observation were then recorded and the bag was thrown away. This process was then repeated six more times using different combinations of chemicals.

This lab’s end result was to correctly identify each unknown solution using prior knowledge of chemical properties and the results of the first experiment conducted. Unknown solution D was the only colored solution, being blue while the others were clear. This made it easy to then match D up to Copper Sulfate because of its color. As unknown A and B were added together, lots of gaseous bubbles formed and revealed the fact that that reaction was the reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Carbonate because it was the only reaction that produced a gas release. Unknown A and C produced the only yellow, brown precipitate just as the reaction between Sodium Carbonate and Silver Nitrate had previously.

Many people conduct experiments resulting in explosive reactions without even understanding the science behind them. This can mean added danger for everyone in the lab, not to mention that it takes all the fun out of the experiment. One experiment in particular, involving Diet Coke and Mentos, can be easily manipulated in which several factors increase or prohibit the reaction. Contrary to popular belief, the reaction that occurs within this mixture is physical rather than chemical. All the components necessary to form the reaction are present at the beginning, as well as the end.

Throughout this lab, four metal and four different aqueous solutions were observed under a microscope, to determine what kind of reactions were produced. The main idea of this lab was to observe and write chemical equations for the different single replacement reactions. This purpose was accomplished, as all reactions in this experiment were single replacement reactions, that either produced a reaction or none at all. A single replacement reaction is when a single element switches and replaces another element in a compound. For instance in the lab magnesium was added to silver nitrate, magnesium reacted and took the place of the other metal in the compound, which was sliver this then created magnesium nitrate.

My hypothesis is that if the baking soda and the vinegar then can potentially mix together with the air that is already in there and start to inflate. Now Alexis is going to talk about why this is a good experiment. Alexis feels like this is a good experiment because of using dangerous air you can use safer chemicals that are safer to your lungs. Now Alexis is going to talk about what she thinks is going to happen during this experiment. Alexis thinks that over time the acids are going to settle down because of how long they been in there if she gives them a long a period of time.

When you have everything in front of you and you see what u have and the chemicals what that means you have relating to chemistry or the interactions of substances as studied in chemistry, you will need to pour everything in the cup that you are able to pour into it when you pour everything in the cup you need to record on your paper what all happens with this experiment one if your components the UNIVERSAL INDICTOR COLOR that means the color what it is before you pour what you have to pour in there then t changes color one of your colors will be Black the Actual PH 10 you would pour Red Cabbage Indictor Color that would be Green. I am going to give u another example the Universal Indicator Color don’t for get that means what it is before you pour what you have to pour in there to see what happens, the second example is Red the Actual PH is 2 and it would change the color to pink the Approximate Ph means “A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle

When a solute acts on a solvent a chemical reaction takes place. Here we will be using baking soda and vinegar which are our two components which will cause a chemical reaction. Reactions can be affected by several things such as temperature, concentration and the presence or absence of a catalyst which is a substance which can increase the rate of the reaction. To determine the rate of a reaction there are many methods that can be used.

Also, salt is an ionic compound and not a polar covalent compound, even though it did not melt last, due to the fact that the elements Na and Cl, both lose or gain an electron and then bond because of their opposite charges, which is a property only ionic bonds possess. The wax was the only substance whose results were synonymous with my hypothesis, since it required a low temperature for its melting point and was not soluble in water, both properties of nonpolar covalent compounds. Potential sources of error included not labeling the spots each substance was placed in the aluminum foil boat, seeing as the result for sugar seemed to be the correct conclusion for salt and vice versa. A future experiment would involve individually testing each substance in an aluminum foil boat, of the same brand, on a heat plate in order to avoid uncertainty. Each substance should be timed to record the precise time each substance began to melt or burn.
