Limiting Reactant Lab Report

CHEM 122 – General Chemistry I Laboratory Name: Evalyne Kogi Section DM1 Name of Partner: Negin Soleimani Spring 2017 Instructor: Prentice Date of submission: 3/20/17 Experiment #5: SYNTHESIS OF TRIS NICKLE (II) CHLORIDE Abstract: We found the limiting reactant by calculating the number of moles of Tris based on moles of HYD used (0.00260) and number of moles of Tris based of moles of En(0.0032). Because the number of moles of tris based on moles of HYD used resulted to be a lower value than the number of moles of Tris based on moles of En used, we concluded that HYD is the limiting reactant in our reaction. Introduction: We were to synthesize a nickel (II) complex and then apply reaction stoichiometry to determine the percentage yield. The goal at the end of this experiment is to identify the limiting reactant, determine the theoretical and percent yield and prepare a complex compound. The synthesis reaction studied in this experiment is represented by the balanced equation: NiCl2.6H2O(s)+3H2NCH2CH2NH2(aq)[Ni(H2NCH2CH2NH2)3(s)+6H2O(l) equation 1 Hydrate …show more content…

In this experiment, all reactants used together with the complex product are water soluble. The reaction first takes place in de-ionized water. Acetone is used in the experiment to precipitate out the Ni (en) 3CL2 which is less soluble than the acetone/water mixture. It’s important that we used a minimal amount of water because otherwise the solid would have dissolved too quickly and a chemical reaction would have withheld. Ethylenediamine is a colorless liquid that was also used which allowed the first chemical reaction to occur; changing the solution from a green to deep purple

Abstract The main goal of this lab was to find the percent yield of a chemical reaction in which copper (II) chloride and sodium carbonate react to make copper (II) carbonate and sodium chloride. A solution of sodium carbonate and copper (II) chloride solutions were mixed to start the reaction. Then, a paper filter had to be used to separate the copper (II) carbonate precipitate from the rest of the mixture. The experiment determined the actual percent yield of 77.2%. Introduction:

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.

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.

Blackford St., Indianapolis, IN 46202. segruszc@iu.edu The purpose of this experiment was to determine the structure of a specific product(s) from a given starting material. The reaction that was tested was that of substitution reactions, whether it was SN1 or SN2. Reaction 1 is an SN2 reaction because of the presence of a strong nucleophile and the solvent being polar aprotic.

Limiting Reagent Lab

378 Words | 2 Pages

The limiting reagent in this lab was iron. Iron was the obvious limiting reactant because the 4.00 grams of iron was used to determine that 11.43 grams of copper sulfate would be necessary in the equation. Also, an extra 25% of copper sulfate was added to make sure there was enough copper sulfate in the reaction since it was the excess in the reaction. The theoretical yield of the reaction was 4.551 grams of copper. The theoretical yield is an amount predicted by stoichiometry and assumes that the limiting react is used completely; the yield was determined through stoichiometry by converting the amount of iron into the amount of copper in the reaction.

Copper Recovery Lab Report

There are only two circumstances in which I think the copper could have been lost. The first chance where some of the lost mass of copper may have gone could have been during the first reaction. If distilled water was added to the solution before the chemical reaction finished, some copper may have been lost during that step. While all nitrogen dioxide gas seemed to have dissipated, perhaps, it was not finished yet. By stopping the reaction early, all of the solid, elemental copper may have not had a chance to react with the nitric acid, and some mass may have been lost during the step.

(TALK ABOUT CHANGE IN ENTHALPY see page..) From the data collected on the Pasco Logger, each trial showed three different trendlines for each mole ratio, however, the fourth ratio didn’t increase like previous three ratios did. This is because there wasn’t anymore bonds to bind to, therefore, only three Ethylenediamine will bind to Ni+2 in an aqueous solution. After reexamining the experiment, there is a source of error that may have affected our results.

Chemical Change Lab Report

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

Verna Wang Hannah Palmer CHEM 101-069 Lab 11-19-16 Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagents Lab Report Purpose: We are using the reaction of sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride to illustrate stoichiometry by demonstrating proportions needed to cause a reaction to take place. Background: Just like a recipe would call for a specific amount of one ingredient to a specific amount of another, stoichiometry is the same exact method for calculating moles in a chemical reaction. Sometimes, we may not have enough of or too much of one ingredient , which would be defined as limiting and excess reagent, respectively.

The percent yield was calculated to be 88.1%. Some amount of the product was lost when transferring the product from the Buchner funnel to the balance to measure its mass. To ensure the formation of the desired product, melting point of the product was measured to be 119.8-121.90c, which is in the range of the normal melting point of 2,4,6-tribromoanilne, 120-1220c.
