Reaction of Chemical Compounds When Added to Water
Introduction/Purpose:
The purpose of this lab was to gain an understanding of how different chemical compounds react when added to water.
Hypothesis:
If different pure substances are dissolved in water, then there can be an understanding of the difference between the solubility because each chemical compound have different solubility even if they look similar.
Materials:
Equipment
Chemicals
Test Tubes (4)
Water (H2O)
Test Tube Rack
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
Scoopula
Candle Wax (CnH2n+2) (Paraffin Wax)
Beakers
Sodium Chloride (NaCI)
Safety Goggles
Sucrose
Procedure:
All equipment and …show more content…
The most soluble substance was Sodium Chloride and the least soluble substance was Candle Wax. Although both sugar and salt dissolve in water, the sugar particles were clumped together and and did not dissolve as quickly as the salt. The least soluble was the candle wax because there was solidification when the wax came in contact with the water.
Do you think that the property of solubility is enough to identify compounds? If yes explain. If no, suggest other properties that might be helpful in identifying these
