The Relationship Between Reactants and Products
Objective:
The objective of this experiment is to get a better understanding of limiting reactants and chemical reactions as whole. It also helped us determine how the amounts of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride affect the chemical reaction made: calcium carbonate. Introduction: This lab was to show the relationship between reactants and products. In this case, we used calcium chloride and sodium carbonate. This made a chemical reaction and eventually formed calcium carbonate. The goal of this lab was to determine how the amounts of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride change or affect the amount of calcium carbonate formed after the reaction.
Experimental Procedure:
Five 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks 500 mL suction flask with tubing
10 mL graduated cylinder Ring stand and clamp
25 mL graduated cylinder Distilled water …show more content…
When we calculated the number of moles of each reactant we also realized that once the moles of CaCl2 were more than the amount of moles in Na2CO3 the chemical reaction stopped producing product. What we concluded from the data was the reaction yield depends on the amount of starting material. The trend from this chemical reaction is finding the perfect amount of sodium carbonate to produce the biggest product yield.
The process of investigation that was followed was to determine the relationship between sodium carbonate and calcium chloride. We chose sodium carbonate as our reaction group and analyzed the relationship between that and calcium chloride. We increased the amount of CaCl2 in the chemical reaction and the mass of the reaction also increased. Increasing the amount of reactant decreases the product yield after a certain point. The product yield eventually stops after too much CaCl2. Increasing the amount of reactant decreases the product yield after a certain
