Compare The Reaction Between Sodium Thiosulfate And Hydrochloric Acid

Improved Essays
A similar experiment such as the reaction of Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid includes the “Yellow Snowstorm” reaction – a reaction between Copper (II) and Thiosulfate. Copper (II) sulfate [CuSO4·5H2O] dissolves to give cupric ion (Cu2+); in the context of a redox reaction with thiosulfate, the cupric ion acts as an oxidizing agent.
Reactions within the temperature on Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid occur as the result of molecules interacting with each other to create new substances. When Hydrochloric Acid is in an aqueous solution, it immediately provides a proton (H+) which is always attracted to any negative ions present – which is balanced overtime. The sodium ion (Na+) from Sodium Thiosulfate performs alike as the ion

    Purpose: The purpose of our experiment was to precipitate Copper (II) Phosphate Trihydrate and determine percent yield, also to react an aqueous solution of Copper (II) Chloride with aqueous Sodium Phosphate and describe the reaction. Procedure: To conduct our experiment 10 milliliters of CuCL2 and 8 milliliters NaPO4 was added to its own 50 milliliter beaker. These solutions were then combined in a 150 milliliter beaker and mixed for 1 minute. The PH of the mixed solution was checked to see if it was accurate enough to go on with the experiment. The solution was then filtered using the vacuum filtration technique.…

    Elizabeth Lee James Poland CHEM 104A 21 September 2014 Discussion and Conclusion of Experiment #4: States of Matter Sleuth Discussion The results of this experiment enabled the experimenter to determine the identity of an unknown salt (#3) using ion-exchange chromatography by analyzing the inorganic salts of the unknown salt, which can be examined by acid-base titration using ion-exchange resin. The stationary phase is made up of acid groups which will attach to the resin, which is then rinsed down the column with water. The mobile phase contains the inorganic salt dissolved in a solvent, which is then added to the column. As it goes down the column, an exchange of H+ ions and cations occur. The solution collected at the bottom of the column contains the acid form of the inorganic salt.…

    Introduction Many biological processes are pH dependent, to illustrate, stomach is at a relatively lower pH than other organs for proper function of digestive enzymes. In particular, buffer is essential for maintaining cellular functions. For instance, protein intake and metabolism generates about 70mM of H+ daily (Silverthorn, Johnson, Ober, Garrison, & Silverthorn, 2012), which could lower pH of human blood to as low as 3. To limit the drastic change in blood pH, human body has three buffer systems – bicarbonate, monohydrogen phosphate, and ammonia. Buffer is made up of weak acid and its conjugate base.…

    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.…

    The substance was stirred until dissolved. The liquid solution produced a blue color as soon as the cupric sulfate dissolved. Prior to this 1.127 grams of Zinc was gathered along with Hydrochloric acid. Both the Zinc and Hydrochloric acid were poured in gradually creating a reaction. A stirring rod was used to stir this while the reaction occurred.…

    A. Heating Magnesium: This station consisted of magnesium, a slim, flexible, silver metal and a Bunsen burner. We used crucible tongs to hold the magnesium over the Bunsen burner until it began to ignite. When it first ignited, sparks were seen and the flame emitted a bright, white light. The flame spread across the magnesium and eventually turned it into a white, ashy substance.…

    Sarah Bounab BQD Experiment 2: Copper/Iron Stoichiometry Abstract: The purpose of the Copper/Iron Stoichiometry lab was to determine which of the two possible iron sulfate compounds formed when reacting aqueous copper(II)sulfate with solid iron metal. The techniques used in this lab were weighing by difference, quantitative transfer, and vacuum filtration. At the end of the experiment it was found that iron was the limiting reactant and iron(II)sulfate was a product of the reaction between 7.0002g of copper(II)sulfate and 2.0101g iron metal which produced 2.3037g of copper product with a percent yield of 100.72%.…

    This is shown in the balanced chemical equation by the products of water and the solid copper chloride. The observation of the liquid turning clear represents the water and seeing the particles represents the precipitate. The yield of copper chloride is 1.49 grams. This demonstrates the transformation of the copper hydroxide being converted into regular copper oxide and with the rest of the mass becoming water. The limiting reactant was the copper oxide and the excess was hydrochloric acid.…

    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 volume of sodium thiosulphate will be 50cm³. The different concentrations of hydrochloric acid are 0.10M, 0.25M, 0.50M, 0.60M, 0.90M and 1.0M. Now, I will discuss my prediction of what will happen during the experiment. Prediction: My prediction is, • As I increase the concentration of hydrochloric acid and add it to the sodium thiosulphate the rate of reaction will decrease. This happens because more particles are being added to the solution when the concentration increases.…

    During the entire lab, the main purpose was to, Identify the given unknown salt through a variety of experiments which yielded valuable quantitative and qualitative data. Before any experiments were carried out, multiple properties were compiled in order to have a source to compare the found results with. Beginning with the first experiment to determine if the unknown salt was hygroscopic, efflorescent, deliquescent or none of the above properties. This test was done through weighing an amount of the salt and reweighing after 15 minutes which would show if the salt had one of the above properties (either by gaining mass from the air, losing mass to the air, turning to solution) or none of the properties. Furthermore, tests were done to identify…

    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.…
