But the liquid that had the closest density to that which was 0.82 g/ml was Ethanol. On the “Liquid characteristic property table”, it stated that Ethanol is very flammable. What I did was I dipped a stirring rod into the test tube that had liquid A in it and when I lit the part that had the liquid on it on fire, that entire part was surrounded by a relatively strong blue flame. I mainly think that liquid B is actually Dihydrogen Monoxide (water) instead of any other liquid mainly because of the boiling point which is about 100°C and also how back in 5.1 part E, the water was kind of foggy plus it smelled like burnt rubber. That was exactly what happened to us with liquid B in sludge. The same EXACT characteristic properties match the same ones from 5.1 part E. I also did a density test and a flammability test for liquid B to make sure that I was correct about my identification. The density turned out to be about 1.04 g/ml. The only other liquids that had a density close to 1.04 g/ml other than Dihydrogen Monoxide were Acetic Acid and Hydrochloric Acid but the two reasons why I am sure that liquid B isn’t Acetic Acid or Hydrochloric Acid is because flammability and boiling …show more content…
We think that insoluble solid #1 is Tin Metal because of the density and the reaction to flame. The color also hinted at us that the solid was some sort of silverish color. The solid color wasn’t all that clear because other solids were stuck to it really hardley that it was impossible for us to remove it. On the “Solid characteristic property table”, the density of Tin Metal was about 7.3g/ml. My partner ran a density test for insoluble solid #1 and he recorded the density to be about 6.8g/ml. Than I did another density test on it and got the exact same results as him previously. There aren't any solids on the “Solid characteristic property table” that have a density of 6.8g/ml but their were a couple solids that had a density that was pretty close to that. The solids were Zinc, Tin Metal, and Manganese. Zinc has a density of about 7.1g/ml which is the closest one out of the two and Tin Metal and Manganese both have a density of about 7.3 g/ml. The main reason why we think that insoluble solid #1 is Tin Metal is because of the reaction to flame. Insoluble solid #1 wasn’t Manganese because it was not brown at
