Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction

Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the actual yield of Calcium carbonate from the reaction of Calcium Chloride with Sodium carbonate. We have to then compare the actual results with the theoretical value of Calcium carbonate and find out the error. When we mix 1.0 grams of Calcium Chloride and 0.80 g of sodium carbonate, it produces around 0.60 g calcium carbonate in the actual experiment. The theoretical yield of 0.68 grams of calcium carbonate and the experimental values is near to this figure. We are to compare the theoretical values with the actual values obtained and analyze the reasons for the error.
Experiment
In this experiment, 1.0 grams of Calcium chloride are mixed with 25 ml distilled water to obtain a Calcium chloride solution. By using Stoichiometry we can calculate the amount of sodium carbonate required for this reaction. One mole of calcium chloride reacts with one mole of sodium carbonate to produce one mole of calcium carbonate.
After that, we take 0.80 g sodium carbonate and mix with 25 ml of distilled water to make a solution of sodium carbonate. The two solutions are mixed together in the 100 ml beaker, forming a milky white precipitate. The solution is …show more content…

This means that 12% is the error percentage. The sources of this error is that when the precipitate is transferred to the filter, it sticks to the sides of the beaker/filter paper. The theoretical yield is 0.68 grams of Calcium carbonate and due to the loss of precipitate in the filter paper, and while handling the exact quantity of precipitate could not be recovered, which lead to the error Also, there may be some errors in measurement since it is not possible to measure up to two decimal places accurately. Also, while keeping the funnel at an angle some of the solution spills over to the sides causing some losses of the product. (Bhatt,

Firstly, because the NaHCO3 compound was not stored in a sealed container, therefore dust particles could have changed the results, and making the product impure. Also, there are uncertainties associated with the instruments used in this experiment. This, if the products were measured slightly more than should be, this could have affected the concentrations of the solutions, and therefore causing a larger

The actual data is the result on our experiment vs theoretical, which is based on the calculations above. I have also learned to pay more attention to draining out all of the product completely before continuing to test the experiment, as any small drop of contaminant can veer our results into a different

Background Information: All cells are covered by cellular membranes. They are selective barriers which permit the selective passage of water, ions and other molecules between the cell and the outside solution. When two solutions having different concentrations of ions and molecules are separated by a semipermeable membrane, there will be some exchange between them. This will happen because they tend to equilibrate the concentrations and the osmotic pressure of the solutions, in order to be the same for both of them.

This lab further verifies the law of conservation of mass, a concept that is pivotal to the very nature of stoichiometry. By using molar methods and evaluating reactions through stoichiometric means, the experiment addresses the validity of the understanding regarding chemical reactions. This work is important in addressing the scientific nature of repeatability and evidence, which further supports the concept of conservation of mass, a part of the very foundation of thought within

Sulphuric acid One of the most important chemicals used in the industrial revolution was sulphuric acid (H2SO4), as it had many different uses in textile and metallurgical industries. Due to its importance, it was in high demand and the amount which could be produced was constantly trying to be improved. It was during this period that a scientist by the name of John Roebuck discovered that this chemical could be produced at a much larger scale than once thought. He did this by making small changes to the production method.

Add sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), to the calcium chloride you already have. This will make calcium carbonate ( CaCO3), according to the formula: Na2CO3 + CaCl2 -> CaCO3 + 2NaCl. Afterward, filter this solution to obtain the calcium carbonate. Finally, heat the calcium carbonate at 248 degrees Fahrenheit to dry it out. Heat the calcium carbonate to 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit to get CaO.

AIM To design an investigation to study the kinetics of a reaction of your choice RESEARCH QUESTION With respect to hydrochloric acid (HCl), what is the order of reaction in the reaction between HCl and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) determined by changing the concentration of HCl and measuring the volume of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) collected in 30 seconds whilst keeping the mass of the powdered CaCO3 constant and the temperature of the reaction system at 25oC? BACKGROUND INFORMATION Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a chemical compound that is commonly found in rocks such as chalk, limestone, marble and travertine in all parts of the world. It also used as a form of medicine as a dietary supplement for a person with insufficient calcium intake because calcium is needed by the body for healthy bones, muscles, nervous system, and heart. CaCO3 is also used as an antacid to relieve

1.5.1. Calcium carbonate Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant calcium salts present in the earth's crust. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal with the atomic number 20, chemical formula Ca2+, represents about a third of the metals abundant in the earth and is essential for the life of living organisms. In fact, it is the essential component of a balanced diet, as well as the formation of bones and teeth and oversees important physiological functions (37).
