This indicated that the test between Fe(NO3)3+12H2O and NaNO3 was most likely contaminated. By making sure all glassware and materials used are cleaned, contaminations that may lead to incorrect results can be…

Discussion There were four goals for Project 11: Identification, Properties, and Synthesis of an Unknown Ionic Compound. The first goal was to identify the unknown compound, the second goal was to determine the reactivity of the compound, the third goal was to determine the quantitative solubility of the compound in water, and the fourth goal was to find the percent yield of a product from a reaction involving the unknown compound. Determining the identity of the unknown compound was achieved by performing a variety of tests for the physical properties of the substance. Some of these properties, such as melting point and chemical structure, could be discovered by making a few immediate observations of the substance. The unknown compound…
These procedures had slightly different measurements in order to ensure the best results: .3 g of aluminum compared to .25. They were also written in more specific detail with additional steps and different methods of reaching the same product of producing copper. The procedures, unlike the original set, performed the reaction without the hot plate before going through intense rounds of decanting the copper and drying it with the hot plate. After completing the lab and coming to an understanding of the process and reaction, it can be concluded that the given procedures for the experiment were efficient and safe while the original procedures were not. The original procedures carried out the reaction, or the adding of the aluminum to the copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate solution, on the hot plate which could've led to a disastrous result as the reaction itself was enough to bubble the solution and darken the aluminum.…
For this experiment, a few scientists are researching how different flavors/colors of sports drinks effect the amount of red 40 dye in each drink. The independent variable in the experiment is the flavors of Gatorade (a brand of sports drinks) used, while the dependent variable is the concentration of dye the sports drinks contain. The constant variable is the spectrophotometer, the amount of liquid used, and the same type of cuvette. The controlled variable is only using water. In order to determine which drink would have the greatest concentration of red 40 dye, the scientists must first understand what it actually is.…
Another experiment was a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and red phenol to test if the sodium was the cause for the rise in heat. When the two were mixed together there was no increase in heat which leads to the conclusion that the calcium chloride was the cause of the temperature increase. The last lab was a mixture of water and calcium chloride to see if the red phenol was the sole cause for the change in color. There was no color change when the two substances were…
There was no color change when NaCl or AgNO3 was added to red dye 1,…
Observations and Results: There were a variety of physical observations that could be made as the experiment progressed. Initially after the addition of the sulfuric acid from the Repipet, the solution was a slight yellow…
Figure 2 shows the reaction in action. Before long less Zinc became visible at the bottom of the beaker. Copper became visible at the bottom of the beaker all at the same time. The bottom of the beaker released bubbles, or hydrogen gas, from the reaction. The reaction for this particular experiment is a single replacement reaction.…
Research this chemical and state why you believe it was added to the tubes in both of these experiments. I believe it was added because it is an indicator that can change color in the presence of carbon dioxide and acts as an indicator of photosynthesis. Examine the three graphs below. Which do you think most accurately represents the results you would see if you were to increase light when performing Part A of the experiment? Why?…
K2CrO4 was added in Step 12 and this was what indicated whether or not the sample from Part B contained barium or not. The chloride ion in potassium chromate bound to the barium cation and formed a precipitate, if there were any calcium cations present, they would have stayed in the liquid solution. If the substance in Step 12 remained cloudy, it would have been a sign for a false positive. This refers to a result that may not be correct, and if it were the case, a precipitate of barium may have been formed, but that does not mean it has to. After that step, the precipitate was dissolved in 6M HCl and 6M H2SO4 was added resulting in a white precipitate forming.…
Experiment 3- Wear goggles and apron at all times. Put the 60 milliliters of water into the 150 milliliter beaker. Measure 1.0 grams of zinc powder on the digital balance with weighing paper. Put the zinc powder into the water and stir it with a wooden stirrer.…
Introduction An Alka seltzer is a Blood thinner and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can treat pain, fever, headache, and inflammation. Its two main ingredients are citric acid and baking soda. When the tablet is dropped in water, the citric acid and baking soda react, which causes the alka seltzer to dissolve. If an alka seltzer is dropped in orange juice, then it will dissolve quicker compared to water because the orange juice has a higher level of acidity.…
In Part B of this experiment a few mishaps occurred: the pH paper was accidentally placed in the test tube in step ten, and more than the recommended water input was added to the test tube in step eleven. More water was added in step eleven because the solution was too cloudy. The results of Part B were interesting because it was expected that there could only be calcium or barium present in the solution, but both were confirmed present. A precipitate formed in both of the tubes that were needed to be used to confirm the presence of barium and calcium.…
