Mass Lab

568 Words3 Pages

The objective of the lab was to understand the Law of Conservation of Mass. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can be changed from one form into another, mixtures can be separated or made, and pure substances can be decomposed, but the total amount of mass remains constant. For example, from our experiment in the lab, we observed mass of the mixture of aqueous Sodium Sulfide and aqueous Zinc chloride turned white color. After the filtration, and all the water was evaporated, we measured the mass very close to what we had started at the beginning. The error in mass occurred because of the remained residue (solute) in the beaker. We were unable to completely clean water, and some mass was added because we couldn’t evaporate …show more content…

A net ionic equation shows only the species that actually take part in the reaction. In solution, Na2S dissociates into Na and S2 ions and ZnCl2 dissociates into Zn2 and Cl ions. As per our lab, zinc ions (Zn 2) and sulfide ions (S2) formed an insoluble compound, zinc sulfide (ZnS), while the other product, NaCl, was soluble and remains in solution. This reaction is called a precipitation reaction. The balanced molecular equation is: Na2S(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) = ZnS(s) +2NaCl(aq). The ionic and net ionic equations are: Ionic: 2Na(aq) + S2(aq) + Zn2(aq) + 2Cl(aq) ZnS(s) +2Na(aq) + 2Cl(aq), and net ionic: Zn2(aq) + S2 (aq)+ ZnS(s). Chemical reaction occurred from the ammonium dichromate(Decomposition) was exothermic reactions. In a double displacement reaction two compounds exchange bonds or ions in order to form different compounds. An example of a double displacement reaction occurred between zinc chloride and sodium sulfide to form zinc sulfide and sodium chloride. ZnCl2(aq) + Na2S(aq)= ZnS(s) + NaCl(aq). Ionic reactions occurred between ions in aqueous solution. A reaction occurs when a pair of ions come together to produce at least one of the following: a precipitate, a gas, water, or some other non‐ionized substance. An examples of ionic reactions, if a compound is soluble in water then it should be shown as being in aqueous solution, or left as separate ions. Net ionic equations show

While the solution dissolved, 50 mL of distilled water was added to a 150 mL beaker and heated on the hot plate. When the solution started to boil 2.65 grams of Na2SiO3*5H2O was added to the beaker with a stir bar and heated to a gentle boil. When both solutions began to boil, the sodium silicate solution was slowly added to the sodium aluminate. The solution was kept at 900C for 60 minutes and stirred with stir bar. After 60 minutes, the zeolite solution was cooled for 5 minutes and for the magnetized zeolite , 0.78 grams of FeCl3 and 0.39 grams of FeSO4*7H2O was added to the flask and stirred until the iron parts dissolved.

Essay On Penny Lab

444 Words | 2 Pages

An error that could have been present during the lab includes not letting the zinc react completely with the chloride ions by removing the penny too early from the solution. For instance, the percent error of this lab was 45.6%, which was determined by the subtraction of the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5% and the experimental percent of Cu 3.64% and dividing by the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5%. This experiment showed how reactants react with one another in a solution to drive a chemical reaction and the products that result from the

Empire Of Electricity Lab Report

For the first beaker we added 15 mL of 1M zinc sulfate into a clean medium beaker. At first we added the 15 mL of zinc sulfate into a large beaker, but when we inserted the salt bridge, we noticed that the salt bridge was not long enough to reach the 15 mL of solution in both large beakers. For the second medium beaker we added 15 mL of 1M copper sulfate. After both beakers were filled with 15 mL of the given solutions, we then placed the u-shaped salt bridge into the beaker, with one end of the salt bridge in the zinc solution and the other end in the copper solution. We had to make sure that the salt bridge was set up properly, so before inserting the salt bridge in the beakers, we added 0.2M potassium nitrate into the salt bridge, but were careful not to overflow the solution.

Use the evidence provided by the tests to identify the mystery powder. The mystery powder (#5) is the baking powder. My partners and I figured this out because the physical and chemical properties of both of the substances are very similar. For example, both powders are not soluble in water, and they both turned red when they reacted with the universal indicator.

Copper Cycle Synthesis

In this experiment, the evolution of the copper cycle was observed through a series of reactions. Four different copper compounds are formed through different reactions to inevitably lead to the recovery of Cu(s). This primary goal of this experiment was to study the Law of Conservation of Mass and perform 5 reactions on copper compounds. As Jenna Winterberg states in her book “Conservation of Mass,” the first part of this law is that mass or matter cannot be created. The second part of the law is that mass or matter cannot be destroyed .

Zinc Chloride Lab Report

This lab was performed in order to confirm the empirical formula of Zinc Chloride. The accepted empirical formula of the substance is two chlorine atoms to one zinc atom. The reason there is a two to one ratio is because a single replacement reaction occurs. When zinc and hydrochloric acid react together, it results in zinc chloride and hydrogen being the products. Because zinc needs two chlorine atoms to maintain stability, there must always be a two to one ratio between the two to keep the relationship balanced.

The items that were massed were the evaporating dish, watch glass, and NaCO3. The materials were massed once before and once after being heated in the drying oven. The mass of the evaporating Dish before was 46.57 g; while after being heating was 60.15 g. The mass of the watch glass before was 57.97 g and after was 48.75g. There were two masses taken for the substance NaHCO3- one with the evaporating dish and one without, subtracted out after the lab was concluded. The mass of the substance with the dish was 48.79 g before and 62.33 g after; meanwhile, the mass of the substance without the dish was 2.22 g before and 2.18 g after. The mass of the NaHCO3 had changed after the reaction occurred along with after it was placed on the hot plate and being in the drying oven.
