Dissolution Of Naoh In Water Lab Report

When the sodium hydroxide pellet was added, the test tube became warm and it took awhile to dissolve. The dissolution of NaOH in water resulted in a basic solution (When tested with the red litmus paper, the paper turned a blue color and when tested with the blue litmus paper, the paper remained a blue color). The net ionic equation for the dissolution of NaOH in water is displayed below: NaOH(s) → Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) The addition of magnesium hydroxide to water resulted in a cloudy slurry. There was no change in the color of the blue or the red litmus paper. When HCl was added to half of the slurry, the precipitate dissolved. However, when NaOH was added to the other half, the precipitate still remained. The slurry remained a white, cloudy color. Because the slurry dissolved in acid, Mg(OH)2 is a basic solution. The reaction of hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide slurry is denoted below: …show more content…

Due to this ability to react with both acids and bases, Al(OH)3 is called an amphoteric substance. Reaction with HCl: Al(OH)3 (s) + 3HCl(aq) → AlCl3 (aq) + 3H2O(l) Reaction with NaOH: Al(OH)3 (s) + NaOH(aq) → NaAl(OH)4 (aq) Hydrous silicon hydroxide and water resulted in a cloudy slurry. There was no change in color of the blue litmus paper or the red litmus paper. When HCl was added to one portion of the slurry and when NaOH was added to the other portion of the slurry, there were no reactions in both cases. The addition of P4O10 to water resulted in an acidic solution (the blue litmus paper turned a red color and the red litmus paper remained the same color). The reaction of P4O10 and water is shown below: P4O10 (s)+ 6H2O(l) → 4H3PO4

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

There was a strong odor similar to the smell of vinegar given off. After the solution was heated and the solid dissolved, 0.2 mL of hydrobromic acid was added to the test tube. The solution turned a bright yellow color after the hydrobromic acid was added. The solution was heated in a hot water bath for 5-10 minutes and then let cool. After heating, the

However, after refluxing for a while, yellow precipitates begin to form near the top of the flask. It was assumed that the remaining starting material was concentrated from a decrease volume to reappeared in solution. Nevertheless, this may have been a sign of contamination that will negatively affect the entire reaction. This observation later resulted in a yellowish

As the compound was reacting, the aluminum pieces were also dissolving, with only a few pieces left inside. The process of the second reaction included the adding of a new substance which consisted of sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid along with potassium aluminum hydroxide, was yielded to produce aluminum hydroxide, potassium sulfate, and water. This reaction was both a precipitation reaction and an acid-base reaction. Once the sulfuric acid was added, the reaction became very chunky.

This then resulted in a change of color for the indicator. Similarly Erio-Black T is also a good substance to use for testing the water samples in this experiment because it works as an indicator and changes from red then to purple and finally to blue around the pH range of 7-11. In addition, we used a pH 10 buffer to ensure that the

The purpose of this lab is to identify the seven numbered solutions through chemical reactions. It was done by mixing the numbered solutions of known names but unknown number of distribution with each other and analyzing the chemical reactions. Research shows that NiCl2 is the green liquid. NiCl2 will not react with anything except with AgNO3 and Na2CO3, so the first step will be mixing all solutions with NiCl2 until those two chemicals are found. Na2CO3 will create bubbles (CO2) while AgNO3 does not when mixed with the other chemicals.

When bases turn red litmus paper blue, that means it has a pH greater than seven. Acids turn blue litmus paper red and have a pH less than seven. A pH of seven is neutral, anything more or less is considered a base or an acid. My observation on bases and acids was tested by using blue and red litmus paper. The liquids that were used were alcohol and tomato juice.

Its pH is greater than 7 and turns red litmus paper into blue. Acid- base neutralization is done by adding an acid to a base or a base to an acid until the substance has equal hydrogen and hydroxide ions. This is used to determine unknown concentration of a

Introduction The goal of the experiment is to examine how the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid and Sodium thiosulphate is affected by altering the concentrations. The concentration of Sodium thiosulfate will be altered by adding deionised water and decreasing the amount of Sodium thiosulphate. Once the Sodium thiosulphate has been tested several times. The effect of concentration on the rate of reaction can be examined in this experiment.

Strong acids and strong bases are strong electrolytes and are assumed to ionize completely in the presence of water. Weak acids however, only ionize to a limited extend in water. Any weak or strong acids when in contact with any weak or strong alkali will start to undergo neutralization regardless of their volume. When an indicator which is present in the acid-base mixture and have experienced colour change, it indicates that the mixture is in right proportions to neutralize each other and is also known as the equivalence point.

The most common are a potential hydrogen meter or litmus / ph paper. “If it turns pink, it's acid I think … and if it turns blue, it's an alkali true” (Chris Woodford). this is for litmus paper, if the paper turns pink it’s acidic and if it turns blue it’s alkaline. The simple idea is that the paper turns a different color for solutions between pH 1 and 14.

Aim: To find out the relationship between the greater concentration of sodium thiosulfate when mixed with hydrochloric acid and the time it takes for the reaction (the time it takes for the solution to turn cloudy) to take place and to show the effect on the rate of reaction when the concentration of one of the reactants change. Introduction: The theory of this experiment is that sodium thiosulfate and hydrochloric acid reach together to produce sulfur as one of its products. Sulfur is a yellow precipitate so, the solution will turn to yellow color while the reaction is occurring and it will continue until it will slowly turn completely opaque. The reaction of the experiment happens with this formula: “Na2 S2 O3 + HCL =

When pH is high which means more OH⁻, then aluminum ions will react with hydroxide ions to form aluminum hydroxide. Phosphate ions are acting as a natural buffer. If the equipment is not washed with acid, it would cause an error. This is because the phosphorus analyzing is dealing with low concentration of phosphorus and it is easily contaminated by detergent and other chemicals and it has to be washed by using an acid and also it has to be rinsed with distilled water once it is rinsed with acid.
