Calcium Acetate Monohydrate And Potassium Carbonate

The hypothesis of the experiment stated that if Calcium Acetate Monohydrate and Potassium Carbonate are reacted then 2.00 grams of Calcium Carbonate will be produced. The hypothesis was inaccurate and only 1.079 grams of the product was obtained. The percentage yield was only 26.5 % of the anticipated 2 grams. However, a significant error occured when the Potassium Carbonate and Calcium Acetate solution spilled on the lab table, and to reuse as much as possible the lab instructor soaked up the solution with a paper towel and squeezed it into the funnel. Thus, the mass of the product is inaccurate. The purpose of this experiment was to produce 2.00 grams of Calcium Carbonate by reacting Calcium Acetate Monohydrate and Potassium Carbonate.

    Cyclohexanone Reaction Lab Report

    A possible chemical reason that this experiment yielded less than 100% cyclohexanone was due to the spontaneous decomposition of sodium hypochlorite, 2NaOCl = 2NaCl + O2, which decreased the amount of reactant present in the initial reaction when hypochlorous acid was formed, which was the oxidizing agent required to oxidize cyclohexanol into cyclohexanone. Sodium hypochlorite decomposed into O2 and NaCl due to a multitude of factors such as exposure to high temperatures, prolonged storage time or sunlight exposure. If a large enough quantity of the sodium hypochlorite was decomposed to limit the reaction that produced hypochlorous acid, the quantity of cyclohexanone produced may be affected. This would have resulted in a decrease in the production…

    Alka-Seltzer Co: Two Gases

    After the reaction, and an incision to release the gas, the mass also had to be identified, which was less than the previous mass, 255.9 grams. The experimental molar mass was 0.0894 grams, found by using the moles of 〖Co〗_2 and the masses. The percent yield came about by dividing the experimental molar mass by the theoretical (44.01grams) to create 20 percent. The percent yield shows how far off the experimental calculations were from the truth. Overall, by using the Alka-Seltzer, what could be concluded was that Alka-Seltzer reacts…

    Alka Seltzer Lab

    The purpose of this lab was to understand the Law of Conservation of Mass and how it works, using half of an Alka-Seltzer tablet, concealed in a water to fill the container, while a balloon sealed the top to keep it a closed system. The hypothesis was, if the Alka-Seltzer chemical reaction is a closed system, then the mass of the products will equal the reactants. The data did not support the hypothesis because the products were almost always a different mass to the reactants but only the last trial revealed that the mass of the reactants was equal to the products. Usually, the trials indicated a loss of mass until the third trial was done, which was a success. Since the experiment was a closed system, matter could not leave or enter.…

    Determining the Percentage Yield of a Chemical Reaction Question: What is the percentage yield of the reaction of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride dihydrate (the dihydrate must be included with the molar mass calculation)? Predictions: Predict the mass of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride dihydrate that will be required to produce 1.90 grams of calcium carbonate: Therefore, the predicted mass of sodium carbonate is 2.0 grams and the predicted mass of calcium chloride dihydrate is 2.8 grams. Materials: 2 Beakers (150 mL) Calcium chloride Sodium carbonate…

    Baking Soda Stoichiometry

    I researched many things about my experiment before doing it. This way, I could have a better idea of what to look at while conducting the experiment. I completed background research on baking soda and vinegar, CO2 production from their reaction, base and acidic substances reacting, and stoichiometry of baking soda and vinegar reactions. After doing research, I found many interesting facts and information. First I researched vinegar.…

    Calcium Citrate Essay

    Okay… You reach down and take these balls and they put them in a white bucket and then they take them back to the factory where they're washed and rinsed in fresh water. Dried in the sun and then the entire algae is melded into a powder. So you have in effect, not in effect, you have a whole food, an entire plant is melded into this powder, and that powder has approximately thirty percent elemental calcium, so it’s very high. Calcium citrate about twenty-one percent, calcium carbonate is forty percent, so its right in between calcium citrate and carbonate in terms of its amount of elemental calcium, it's above thirty percent.…

    Phenolphthalein Lab Report

    Phenolphthalein is often used as an indicator in acid base reactions. The reaction used in this lab is: C_20 H_14 O_(4 (aq))+46 NaOH_((aq))→46 Na_( (aq))^++20 H_2 CO_(2 (aq))+10 H_2 O_((l)). Phenolphthalein and sodium hydroxide react to form carbonous acid, water, and Na+ ions. This reaction is a neutralization reaction, where phenolphthalein, a weak acid, reacts with a strong base, sodium hydroxide.…

    Exp 23:: Stereochemistry of the Addition of Bromine to Trans-Cinnamic Acid

    Observed/theoretical X 100 1.476 g/3.08 g X 100=47.9% Discussion of Results: There was too much error introduced into the experiment to be able to indicate exactly which product was obtained through the experiment. I believe the results were supposed to include the product being erythro-2,3-dibromo-3-phenypropanoic acid and the mechanism that took place in the experiment was in fact the bromonium ion mechanism. My group’s percent error was 47.9% which is extremely low. This low percent error was gained from the lack of mass of the product obtained after vacuum filtration.…

    Discussion: The hypothesis stated that as the amount of baking soda increases, the total time of its reaction with vinegar will be increased as well. However, that was not the case during the actual experiment. As discussed previously, the results followed a small pattern but not for the whole experiment. The results can be confirmed that are very reliable, since repeated trials were done, sometimes more than three.…
