A possible chemical reason that this experiment yielded less than 100% cyclohexanone was due to the spontaneous decomposition of sodium hypochlorite, 2NaOCl = 2NaCl + O2, which decreased the amount of reactant present in the initial reaction when hypochlorous acid was formed, which was the oxidizing agent required to oxidize cyclohexanol into cyclohexanone. Sodium hypochlorite decomposed into O2 and NaCl due to a multitude of factors such as exposure to high temperatures, prolonged storage time or sunlight exposure. If a large enough quantity of the sodium hypochlorite was decomposed to limit the reaction that produced hypochlorous acid, the quantity of cyclohexanone produced may be affected. This would have resulted in a decrease in the production…
This lab makes use of the reaction excess powdered calcium carbonate and different concentrations limiting hydrochloric acid in order to determine the effect of changing concentration on the rate of the reaction. Students will carry out 3 trials of 5 experiments each trial. The five different experiments are for the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 mol/L). First measure out approximately 2 grams of powdered calcium carbonate using a weighing boat and analytical balance. Then, measure out 30 mL of 0.2 M hydrochloric acid into a volumetric flask.…
After the reaction, and an incision to release the gas, the mass also had to be identified, which was less than the previous mass, 255.9 grams. The experimental molar mass was 0.0894 grams, found by using the moles of 〖Co〗_2 and the masses. The percent yield came about by dividing the experimental molar mass by the theoretical (44.01grams) to create 20 percent. The percent yield shows how far off the experimental calculations were from the truth. Overall, by using the Alka-Seltzer, what could be concluded was that Alka-Seltzer reacts…
The components of Alka Seltzer come together to form a pain reliever and antacid formulation. Aspirin is classified as a Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug and has the function of a pain-killer, helping to reduce inflammation, fever and pain within the body by reducing the production of a substance called prostaglandins which are “hormone-like substances” (Drugs 2017) that regulate the inflammation and cause the bodies pains and headaches.(Merck Animal Health) The Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO3) and Citric acid on the other hand react together in the aqueous solution to form sodium citrate. The sodium citrate produced is able to neutralise the HCl produced in the stomach by exchanging the H+ in the solution with the Na+ forming citric acid, which is a weaker acid than hydrochloric acid. There is also an excess amount of Sodium Bicarbonate present with solution and the bicarbonate ions act as the main buffering agents neutralising any acid or alkali added producing water.…
The first concept is carbon dioxide that is created when the beverage is put into a can in high pressure of carbon dioxide gas. When you open the can, the carbon dioxide rushes out, a sound can be heard which is the carbon bubbles. The movement of the raisins when they bob up and down are caused by tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide gas that stick to the raisins rough surface, making an attraction. The bubbles increase the raisins volume but it does not affect the mass. The…
Lastly, remove the remaining precipitate from the beaker and…
Communication /6 Problem #2 Use the chart you just created to answer the following questions. a) Which substance would be the most corrosive? /1 Sample number 2 is the most basic and corrosive substance between the four samples.…
Another one is that when you cut open the Citric Acid it’s crystal clear inside. The mystery mixture is also crystal clear inside when you cut it open. The fizz time of the mystery mixture and Baking Soda and Citric Acid were both roughly 11 minutes…
In the experiment, I tested how soapy water would affect the amount of droplets the penny can hold. The results of my experiment show that the penny holds less droplets of soap water. When the soap is added to the water, the soap collides with water breaking down the tension. As a result, it harder for the droplets to hold together. To find whether my hypothesis was right, I did several of trials to figure out whether my hypothesis was correct.…
There are multiple ways to test this experiment, but only one way to find out. There are a couple different ways how cold temperatures can remove the warm air from the lukewarm soda. The first of these is conduction. Conduction is when heat is transferred by direct contact. An example of this would be if you put a metal spoon in a heated drink, in a short amount of time you would feel the spoon heating up.…
The length of time that a bubble is alive can depend on many different variables. In this project, what will be viewed is how the time of bubbles change because of the temperature. The colder the soda gets, there will be more fizz/bubbles because the molecules of carbon dioxide (a chemical) have less room to escape in the cold. The more carbon dioxide that is in the soda, the more fizz/bubbles that it will have. Temperature and the time of bubbles are related in multiple ways.…
The way how the experiment works is pretty easy, everyone knows what the baking soda and the vinegar do when they mix. The tissue with the baking soda is so that you get a little bit of time to close the bag when the mix of the vinegar and the baking soda start to erupt. When you close the bag, carbon dioxide starts to fill up the bag and it starts to inflate, until, it is so full of carbon dioxide, that it pops. But sometimes it does not blow up the bag, Sometimes the carbon dioxide only inflates the bag until it looks like it is about to pop, but it just stays like that and it never explodes.…
This was done by using the ruler to measure the height of the area covered by bubbles at the vertical arm for 30 minutes at regular five-minute interval. All the results were recorded and tabulated. The volume of evolution of CO2 was obtained by using the…
Discussion: The hypothesis stated that as the amount of baking soda increases, the total time of its reaction with vinegar will be increased as well. However, that was not the case during the actual experiment. As discussed previously, the results followed a small pattern but not for the whole experiment. The results can be confirmed that are very reliable, since repeated trials were done, sometimes more than three.…
Both reactions at station two did not react. Station three had a reaction occur between sodium carbonate and calcium sulfate forming sodium sulfate and calcium carbonate. The precipitate was calcium carbonate. Station four formed a…
