Two of Alka Seltzer’s ingredients, Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda), were both placed into a beaker to see if both contents could cause a potential reaction. The final result was a non- occurring reaction. For a second test, both the Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate were placed into separate, dry beakers.…
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.…
Ammonium chloride and calcium chloride were the two compounds that were tested on to see if either were the unknown compound. After obtaining a balanced chemical equation that would allow for the synthesis of calcium chloride, it was determined that 0.858 g of magnesium chloride and 0.902 g of calcium carbonate needed to be used in order for 1.000 g of calcium chloride to…
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.…
Two new substances, zinc phosphate and sodium acetate, were formed after the mixture of zinc acetate and sodium phosphate.…
Procedure The procedure was downloaded from http://interchemnet.com/data/labs/LR_9-29-17/LR_9-29-17.pdf on October 4, 2017. II. Analysis of Evidence or Discussion When the and NaCl was combined, a white precipitate formed and there…
Baking soda is a white, crystal-like powder of different elements because it is a chemical (Sideman).Many properties are revealed when it is seen how it is made. Baking soda can be made is in two different ways (Sideman). It can be made manufactured or naturally (Sideman). When it is manufactured, baking soda is formed by combining an acid, which is carbon, and a base, which is sodium hydroxide (Sideman). When the mixture is heated at 300oF, it decomposes and turns into sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash, Na2CO3 (Sideman).…
The appearance is white, it looks sugary/rocky, and has no odor. Sodium Chloride and Potassium Bromide were soluble in distilled water. This is because Sodium Chloride and Potassium Bromide are made from positive sodium ions bonded to negative chloride ions. “Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water molecules attracts the negative chloride ions and the negative part of water molecules attracts the positive sodium ions” (Jerry Bell, PhD, 2015). Sodium Chloride and Potassium Bromide had a conductivity level of high meaning that the compound is conductive.…
Chemical leavening is when leavening gases are brought out into the batter/ dough and trapped; causes air bubbles to expand, sparked off by the heat in the oven and causing the whole thing to rise. The two most commonly used ones today are: baking soda and baking powder. They sound almost the same so they must be the same right? However that isn’t true.…
The Movie “The Shining” was one of the best mysteries horror movies of all time. It’s about a family that stayed over the winter in a hotel in Colorado called “The OverLook Hotel”. A man named Jack wanted to write about staying there over the winter and how it will be a good vacation until things got to him and he went psycho. This film has a lot of allusions in most of the scenes, also towards the middle of the time being there Jack did a lot of violent things to Wendy and Danny. When unusual things happens the Calumet Baking Soda pops up behind someone.…
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…
Reaction Scheme: Procedure: The procedure for this experiment was drawn from Wissinger laboratory manual.1 The only deviation from this procedure was that the Variac outlet for the Reflux condenser was set at sixty for fifty minutes rather than at forty-five to fifty for sixty to seventy-five minutes. For the sodium bicarbonate washes, four washes were completed before the solution was deemed no longer acidic. As well, for the NaCl wash, 10mL of aqueous NaCl solution was used.…
Experiment 1. Title: How does the amount of baking soda affect its reaction with vinegar? Aim: To find out how different amounts of baking soda (soda bicarbonate) affect the length of its chemical reaction with vinegar (acetic acid).…
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…
