In this lab there was 2 objectives which where to recognize when a chemical reaction has occurred and practice collecting detailed observations in the laboratory using proper scientific terms.
Reaction set #1
(1a) place approximately 1 ml of 0.1 M Pb (No3)2 solution into a test tube. Then sequentially add drops of 0.25M k2CRO4 solution until you see evidence of a chemical reaction. The products of this reaction are aqueous KNO3 and solid PbCrO4.
(1b) place approximately I ml of .1M Pb (NO3)2 solution in a test tube. Then sequentially add drops of .25 M NaSo4 solution until you see evidence of a chemical reaction. The products of this reaction are aqueous NaNo3 and solid PBSO4.
Reaction set#2
(2a) place 1 ml of dilute HCl into a test tube, and

Using your tongs, hold a small piece of magnesium in the flame. Do not look directly into the flame during this reaction.
(1a) Pb (NO3)2 is a colorless solution. K2CrO4 is a yellow colored solution. Both solutions seemed to be odorless. When the K2CrO4 was added to the test tube that had the Pb (NO3)2 solution in it there was yellow color particles/ precipitation started to form in the test tube. The test tube seemed to have cooled down. (Lead 2 cromate)
(1b) both the Pb (NO3)2 solution and the Na2SO4 solution are colorless. When Na2SO4 added to the test tube that already had Pb (NO3)2 in it there was a chemical reaction. There were bubbles (which is sometimes a sign of a reaction), white perception. The test tube got colder. The solution becomes a milky white color. (particilits (most likely PbSO4).
(2a) the solution dilute HCl was colorless while the magnesium was silver colored. There were bulbes, due to the lit wooden split making a pop sound when it was put into the test tube the gas created was Hydrogen.
(2b) the gas in this reaction was oxygen as the glowing splint placed in the test tube was relit. The solution was orange/gold brown

The NaOH is a colorless solution. HCl is also a colorless solution. The test tube heated up immediately after adding in the (HCl).
(3b) distilled water is a colorless liquid. While NH4Cl (Nh4 is known ammonium) is a white powder that looked like salt and also looked glittery. The test tube was cooled down.
(4a) CuSO4 is an acura blur color solution that seemed to have stuff at the bottom of the bottle that it was in. the zinc granules have a silver color to them. At first there it was little to no changes. But after a while the solution color had changed color and zinc granules had turn to copper. The copper was a dark brownish red color. (The solution became zinc sulfate) it looked like the zinc graduals had leached the copper out of the solution and turn them to a solid.
(4b) the magnesium before it was put into the flame was silver in color, was brittle, shiny, and reflected light. It took 45 seconds to a minute before there was a reaction once the piece of magnesium was put into the flame. First it was an edge the lit up then the entire piece of magnesium lit up and looking at it could be described as it like looking directly at the sun. Once it was place onto the table top it seem to of saterd on contact. The magnesium was wrightest/gray in

    Ethyl vinyl ether was used to protect –OH on glycidol based on a literature reported protocal.59 In a typical procedure, 0.675 mol glycidol and 200 mL ethyl vinyl ether were loaded in a round-bottom flask, to which 1.25 g TsOH was then added. The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature (RT) for 3h. The resulting mixture was then purified by washing with 100 ml saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 for 3 times. The organic layer obtained was dried by MgSO4. After filtration of MgSO4, the excess ethyl vinyl ether was removed by rotary evaporation.…

    In this experiment, identifying the acids, bases, or neutrality of the unknown substance in a specific set are used to find the actual substances. The following sets of substances could have been assigned: Set 1 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Manganese(II) nitrate (Mn(NO3)2), Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH); Set 3 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH); Set 4 - Silver nitrate (AgNO3), Lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Ammonia (NH3), Water (H2O). From the substances above Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the stronger acid, and Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and Lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2 are the weaker acids. If the substance is not an acid nor a base, the substance is neutral. In each set there were three neutral compounds, one acid, and one…

    The pH test will confirm if the compound is an acid or base. After we performed the previous tests, we created five reactions that we knew would react with our predicted compound in a certain way. We came up with one reaction that would result in a white precipitate, and in the other four the compound will not react and only dissolve in the solution. We completed this test for both our known and our unknown and compared results.…

    1. If the molarity of the NaOH solution is increased, it would take less drops to observe a colour change. A higher concentration lowers the amount of solution required to produce a reaction due to the presence of more molecules and a higher frequency rate, therefore less of the substance is needed to cause an equilibrium shift. 2.…

    Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…

    This will dissolve and oxidize copper into Cu2+. The solution was then heated to remove the brown NOx fume. This is necessary since NOx acts as an oxidizing agent and will oxidize I in the redox reaction to be observed. When all NOx fume is removed, H2SO4 was added and the solution was heated until white SO3 fumes appear. The addition of H2SO4 will drives off all nitrogen oxide gas that can interfere with the redox reactions. The SO3 vapor that is observed is an indication that all NOx has been driven off.…

    Conclusion: The the precipitation reactions lab eight out of the fourteen occurring reactions were precipitates. A precipitate means that a solid substance was formed or a substance that is not aqueous was formed. The reactions that did not form a precipitate were DNR, which means that they did not react. At station one barium chloride and potassium nitrate did not react but barium chloride and silver nitrate reacted to form barium nitrate and silver chloride. The precipitate at station one was silver chloride.…
