    Hazardous waste is dangerous to the environment and human health when not disposed properly, meaning cautions need to be taken seriously as chemistry students while working in lab. The objective of the Unknown White Compound experiment was to identify the compound by examining its chemical and physical properties. Identifying the unknown white compound to be potassium nitrate was achieved by completing the solubility test, flame test, pH paper test, ion test, pH probe test, conductivity probe test, and synthesizing silver nitrate and potassium chloride to form potassium nitrate. Uncertainty can be due to small contaminations from glassware not properly cleaned, molarity of chemicals not being exact, and not properly collecting the precipitate…

    From the 36 mixtures there were certain mixtures that formed a colored precipitate i.e. white, black, brown, cream, and cloudy reactions were occurring. The reagent that was able to form the most precipitate was AgNO3 making the process of determining the compounds easier. After all of the solutions were determined the test tubes were washed with distilled water three times and put in to the waste bucket and the lab area was cleaned up by putting back the plastic dropper back in to place and wiping the counter…

    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…

    By placing the nichrome wire in our compounds and putting it into the flame we can analyze the color of the flame to determine which cation is present in our compound. Along with the flame test, came the ammonium test to detect if the cation, ammonium, is present. By adding 1mL of our compound solution and 1mL 6M NaOH, a smell will develop if the ammonium cation is…

    When hydrochloric acid was added to the unknown and known solutions, both resulted in no reaction. This also occurred when potassium hydroxide was added to both of the solutions. Barium chloride was then added to the two solutions, which resulted in a cloudy white precipitate from both of the solutions. A cloudy white precipitate also formed when calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate were added to both the unknown and known solutions. These reactivity tests were conducted in order to establish how the unknown compound would react with acids, bases, and salts.…

    Then we did an anion test and discovered the compound reacted with chloride by producing a white precipitate. The precipitate that formed was an insoluble solid because Cl of NaCl reacted with Ag of AgNO3, creating a Cl- ion above the aqueous solution [3], results on Table 2. Finally we used a cation flame test, results on Table 4. When we burned the unknown substance the flame was a bright orange, yellow color. This was because the flame reacted with the Cl of NaCl causing…

    Given an unknown compound in container 3, solubility tests, cation tests, anion tests, and conductivity tests can be used to determine the various properties of the unknown to then make a positive identification of the unknown. These results will not only show chemical and physical properties but also what the unknown compound might react with to form other compounds. After performing the four anion tests, a positive identification was able to be made showing that the unknown compound contained a chloride ion since a white precipitate was formed from the reaction (Table 1). The sulfate, nitrate, and carbonate tests all yielded negative results when no precipitate was formed. The reaction of the chloride anion is as follows: Cl-…

    represents a double displacement reaction. When zinc acetate, a clear liquid, and sodium phosphate, also a clear liquid, were combined in a test tube, they formed two different liquids. The reaction between the zinc acetate and the sodium phosphate happened almost immediately when combined together. One of the liquids was clear while the other was a milky white color. The clear liquid was sodium acetate and the white liquid is zinc phosphate, according to the MSDS.…

    Using qualitative analysis, two cations in an unknown solution was identified. After repeated mixing, centrifugation, and decanting, lead was confirmed in Part A and barium in Part B. In Part C, different colored flames of metal species were observed using cation flame tests. Formula unit, total ionic, and net ionic equations were then composed for the identified cations. If the experiment were to be repeated, step 13 could be ommitted as barium was already confirmed in step 12 with the formation of yellow percipitate barium chromate, and calcium was not confirmed with step 14 when a white percipitate calcium oxalate was not present…

    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.…

    In this experiment, two cations in an unknown solution were found using qualitative analysis. For Part A, the solution was to contain either silver or lead, while in Part B, the solution that was set on the side form Part A was identified to contain either calcium or barium. Part C explored a different method through the use of cation flame tests to observe colored flames from six metal chloride solutions. In Part A, the initial step was to add HCl to the unknown sample.…

    The solution was cooled in ice bath and DI water is added, followed by the addition of NH3 drop wise. The purpose of this step is to create a slightly acidic to neutral solution, which is an ideal condition for the redox reaction as mentioned above. Addition of NH3 will form Cu(NH3)42+,a copper tetramine complex with a dark-blue color, indicating a slightly basic solution. Adding H2SO4 will bring the solution to a lighter blue color, indicating that it is slightly acidic to neutral. As discussed previously, this will prevent iodide from being oxidized by atmospheric oxygen in the presence of excess acid.…
