The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.
Tyler White CHEM151LL 32658 04/01/2018 Different Types Chemical Reaction Types and Equations Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to examine different types of chemical reactions such as Decomposition reaction, Synthesis reactions, Combustion reactions, and different Chemical equations. The experiments were conducted online using Late Nite Labs. Materials: Because the experiments were conducted online there wasn’t any physical use of materials, only digital ones, for these labs to be performed. Only the registration for the website was needed to perform these online labs, as well as a desktop computer.
Paragraph 1 The objective of the experiment is to test; how will water temperature affect the rate of reaction of an alka-seltzer tablet? The dependent variable of the experiment is the dissolving time. When an alka-seltzer tablet starts to fizz it begins to dissolve, due to the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the tablet contains (Clark, “Why does Alka-Seltzer fizz?).
The purpose of this report is determine if sodium chloride is a viable option as a deicer on winter roads. To determine this, one must compare a multitude of factors. In this lab, the freezing point depression of water, enthalpy of dissolution, cost, and environmental impact will be discussed. A large factor in how effective a substance is as a deicer is it’s ability to decrease the freezing point of water. If the freezing point of water can be lowered, the outside temperature must be much colder to reach this new freezing point, resulting in less ice on the roads.
For this lab the knowledge to tell the difference between a chemical and physical changes was needed. To tell this the knowledge of the five signs of a chemical change was needed. These five signs are color change, odor change, production of bubbles/gas, production of heat/light, and the production of precipitate. Also prior to the lab one question was provided that needed to be answered. This question was what chemical must be present for a color change.
Grignard is a reaction that is crucial to forming the new carbon-carbon bond. This is a two-part lab that teaches new techniques; the purpose of this lab is to introduce realistic organic synthesis and apply acid workup to produce triphenylmethanol. A Grignard reaction is characterized by the addition of a magnesium halide (an organomagnesium halide) to an aldehyde or a ketone in order to form a secondary or tertiary alcohol. These reactions are helpful because they serve as a crucial tool in performing important carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions (Arizona State University, 2018). This experiment aimed to observe the mechanisms of a Grignard reply to synthesize triphenylmethanol from benzophenone using phenylmagnesium bromide as the Grignard reagent.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions enabling more products to be formed within a shorter span of time. Enzymes are fragile and easily disrupted by heat or other mild treatment. Studying the effect of temperature and substrate concentration on enzyme concentration allows better understanding of optimum conditions which enzymes can function. An example of an enzyme catalyzed reaction is enzymatic hydrolysis of an artificial substrate, o-Nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) used in place of lactose. Upon hydrolysis by B-galactosidase, a yellow colored compound o-Nitrophenol (ONP) is formed.
The purpose of this lab is to observe the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal. When the substances are reacted over water, the products produced are a salt in aqueous solution and a gas. While the salt remains in the water as part of a solution, the gas produced will float to the top. Though water vapor pressure will affect the pressure of the gas in the eudiometer, it is possible to apply Dalton’s law of partial pursues to find the dry pressure of the gas. When the dry pressure is determined, the volume of the gas at STP can then be determined and what the experimental volume of one mole of the gas would be at STP.
ADI Lab: Stoichiometry and Chemical Reactions The guiding question of this ADI lab was, “Which balanced equation best represents the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate?” The goal of this lab was to use our knowledge of stoichiometry with the mole ratio to identify the correct chemical equation for the decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. Information that was given going into this investigation was the definition of the law of conservation of mass and the atomic theory which states that no atoms can be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. Also the mole ratio which is used to determine how much of a product will be produced in a chemical reaction using the given chemical equation.
Introduction: Enzymes are needed for survival in any living system and they control cellular reactions. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy needed for molecules to begin reacting with each other. They do this by forming an enzyme-substrate complex that reduces energy that is required for a specific reaction to occur. Enzymes determine their functions by their shape and structure. Enzymes are made of amino acids, it 's made of anywhere from a hundred to a million amino acids, each they are bonded to other chemical bonds.
Part A When sodium was added to water, the sodium melted to form a ball that moved around on the surface of water rapidly and hydrogen gas was produced. Because of the amount of heat liberated during this exothermic reaction, the hydrogen gas ignited the sodium with an orange flame while floating on the water. Also, when potassium was put onto the water, the observation was similar to how sodium reacted towards water. The metal was also set on fire, with sparks and a lilac flame. But, in the case of speed of tarnishing between the two elements, potassium was faster than sodium.
During the Mixed Substances lab the objective was to see how many properties of individual substances compare with properties of mixed substances. From here on the words that would help you along the way of the lab for your research is mixture, homogeneous mixture, and last but least heterogeneous mixture. The hypothesis or guess on what would happen when the water is mixed with the cornstarch, is the cornstarch and water will mix and form a new liquid/solid. However, the Investigating Mixtures lab objective was to observe that not all liquids behave the same way when mixed with other liquids. Moreover the hypothesis of this experiment was that the vegetable oil and colored will separate because the vegetable oil will go to the top and the
The lab testing consists of investigating the rate of oxidation of Acid Sulfate Soils with variant temperatures. Since the transformation from PASS to AASS involves a significant pH drop to approximately one, rate of reaction and time was measured until the pH levels in the reaction even out at a low pH of approximately one. Appendix A & B demonstrate the oxidation reaction trials for each temperature over time, with pH levels recorded once every second. The time when the data stopped recording was determined when either the reaction had finished, or the time exceeds twelve minutes. This time limit was set due to a constricted time allowance of experiments.
Background: Macromolecules are organic molecules that are necessary for life, these molecules include nuclei acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Carbohydrates are the bodies main source of energy, but they 're in the wrong forms, for example lactose, which was used in the lab. Enzymes are used to break down the carbohydrates into simpler components that are easily digested and converted into energy. The purpose of this lab was to show how specific enzymes are, and how enzymatic
Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to gain a better understanding of what a chemical reaction is, how to identify if one actually occurred and correctly show one using a balanced chemical equation. Students will achieve this by mixing substances and attempting to determine whether a reaction took place using prior knowledge of indicators that determine the presence of a chemical reaction.
