Although some groups believe it to be Citric Acid and Baking Soda, others groups believe it is Citric Acid, Baking Soda, and Epsom Salt. The Baking Soda, Citric Acid, and Epsom Salt, had small bubbles well fizzing, whereas the mystery mixture, the Citric Acid, and Baking Soda mix, both had large bubbles. At the end of the reaction the mystery mixture had a temperature of 15.4 degrees fahrenheit. The Citric Acid and Baking Soda had a temperature of 16.4 degrees fahrenheit while the Citric Acid, Baking Soda, and Epsom Salt, had a temperature of 17.4 degrees fahrenheit. The Citric Acid and Baking Soda had a closer temperature. The mystery mixture, and the Citric Acid and Baking Soda both turned clear after the reaction with water. However, the

    Nine Unknown Solutions Experiment

    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…

    Alka Seltzer Temperature Lab

    The Effect of Temperatures on Rate of Reaction of Alka-Seltzer Introduction: A. Background This particular experiment consists of a purpose of finding out the effect of various temperatures on the rate of reaction of the Alka-Seltzer tablets. Alka-Seltzer is a medical drug that acts as a pain reliever or an antacid, which helps neutralize stomach acidity, such as heartburn. Alka-Seltzer is a form of a baking soda which is also known as sodium bicarbonate, (NaHCO₃). When sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) comes in contact with water (H2O), the compound dissociates into two different ions: sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate (HCO₃-) ions.…

    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.…

    Discussion and Scientific Explanations The main goals of this experiment was to find the unknown compound, to discover the compounds chemical and physical properties and create two synthesis of the compound and compare the two compounds. We found out our compound was ionic because the compound dissolved in water, but not in toluene or acetone by using a solubility test, results on Table 1 of the group lab report. On page 59 of the Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual is a chart on suggested liquids and the inference if the compound is soluble [1]. When then checked the pH of the solution by using pH strip. The solution had a pH>7.…

    Lab Report: Identifying Unknown Compounds

    Identifying Unknown Substance. Examining the physical characteristics of the available compounds in the lab was how possible compounds were eliminated from any or further testing. Based on how the compounds physically looked, it was almost for certain that calcium chloride was the unknown compound. However, another compound was used to test as well (ammonium chloride) since relying only on physical characteristics alone would not allow for proper experimentation. The unknown ended up being calcium chloride, however, until the pH test, ammonium chloride was still a possibility because the ammonium chloride could have been ground up.…

    Unknown Compounds

    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-…

    Chemistry Of Baking Research Paper

    When we first were signing up to choose our topics, I chose baking because I like to simply bake. I thought that there could be some chemistry involved due to heat in the oven changing food from liquid to solid. I was so wrong. Even though the oven and heat portion plays a major factor, a good portion of the real chemistry lies in the ingredients we use to make such delicious dessert treats and our different breads. From the ten different sources I looked up previously, for the Annotated Bibliography portion, I found that each of the websites say roughly the same thing.…

    Baking Soda Experiment

    When explained more in-depth, the double displacement reaction of baking soda(sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar is larger when there is more of the two. When adding more baking soda there is more for it to be mixed with the vinegar. This makes for a greater amount of sodium acetate and carbonic acid. The data teaches that when there is more chemicals added to each other, than there is a larger reaction and more compound made from…
