Sodium Chloride Lab Report

444 Words2 Pages

In this experiment, groups were given two different unidentified substances with the goal of being able to figure out what chemical each substance was. Unidentified substance “2” was proven to be Tin (II) Chloride and the Unidentified substance “4” turned out to be Sodium Chloride. The conclusion that substance “2” was Tin (II) chloride could be proven due to the fact that it reacted with Zinc and Sodium Hydroxide. When Tin (II) chloride reacted with Zinc, it began bubbling. This occurred because there was a single replacement reaction between Tin (II) Chloride and Zinc. Zinc is far more reactive than Tin (II) Chloride, making this a very likely conclusion. In the experiment, Tin (II) Chloride should have reacted with the Sodium Hydroxide because …show more content…

Sodium Chloride and Sodium Hydroxide do not produce a reaction with one another, as both of the reactants contain sodium. In a reaction, these two products will stay apart from each other. Moving on, Sodium Chloride Zinc will also produce no reaction. This is because Sodium Chloride and Zinc perform a single replacement reaction. Since Zinc is much less reactive than Sodium Chloride, therefore mixing the substances together will not give you a reaction. In order for a single replacement reaction to work, the lone element has to be more reactive, or higher on the reactivity series, than the element it would be replacing. Because a double replacement reaction occurs between Sodium Chloride and Nitric Acid, one again, there would be no reaction. Double replacements produce two brand new compounds, an aqueous solution, and a substance in a different state of matter. This is caused by two compounds trading cations or anions to create two new compounds. Because two soluble chemicals are incapable of reacting with one another, the “Solubility Chart” must be considered when dealing with double replacement reactions. Since there is not reaction between Sodium Chloride and Nitric acid, as well as the other two chemicals, the conclusion that Sodium Chloride is what Substance “4” consists of

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.

Even the average human body is mostly made up of nonionic compounds. An ionic compound is a chemical compound that is made up of ions that are held together by ionic bonding, which are electrostatic forces. An example includes sodium fluoride, sodium chloride, sodium bromide, etc. Nonionic compounds are substances that are made up of atoms, held together by covalent bonds. In this experiment, the independent variable make up the test substances, and the dependent variable consists of the observation, melting point, and conductivity.

Throughout the experiment, copper was altered a total of 5 times, but after the final chemical reaction, solid, elemental copper returned. Each time the solution changed color, a precipitate formed, or when gas appeared, indicated that a chemical reaction was occurring. For the first reaction, copper was added to nitric acid, forming the aqueous copper (II) nitrate (where the copper went), along with liquid water, and

This means that all of the elements in the same group have a main aspect in common, except for a few exceptions. These elements react with the same specific compounds. This was used to identify the order of the groups from left to right and to determine which elements go under which group. Some research was conducted to identify all the names of the groups ranging from element number one to element number 20. Once all group names were recorded, it was researched which groups react with which compounds that are given on the element cards.

Sodium Sulphate Reaction Lab Report

Explain why the reaction between sodium sulphate and silver nitrate did not occur even though sodium sulphate is insoluble in the most part? The reaction did not occur because the solution was mixed with 0.1M of silver nitrate and 0.1M of silver nitrate is not strong enough for the reaction to occur. If silver nitrate contained more than 0.1 mole, the reaction would have occurred because silver sulphate is insoluble and is a solid. Why is it needed for barium nitrate and ammonium sulphate to dissolve into water separately first before mixing the two together?
