Mole Ratios Lab Report

Decent Essays
Do mole ratios affect the amount of reactant that is produced? This experiment tested why mixing reactants in different mole ratios affected the amount of the product and the amount of each reactant that is left over. To solve the problem, the lab contained reacting sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) and acetic acid(vinegar) in different ratios and seeing if the product changed. The data suggests that the higher ratio of baking soda to vinegar creates the most product. For the ratio 3:1, the final grams of sodium acetate(product) was 0.09, the product of 1:2 was 0.52, while for the ratio 1:3, the final grams of the sodium acetate was 1.65. It is apparent that the least amount of baking soda created the least amount of product. The

    The aim of this experiment was to determine the percentage composition of magnesium and oxygen in magnesium oxide and evaluate if the composition varies or remains constant. To test this, magnesium was heated and made to react with the oxygen gas in the atmosphere. This reaction formed the ionic compound, magnesium oxide. The percentage composition was later calculated based on the results of the experiment as shown in the above calculations, Figure 4. These results were compared to the expected percentage composition also calculated in calculations, Figure 1.…

    In this lab, the percent composition of each component in the mixture was calculated. The mixture contained NaCO, CaCO3, and sand. NaCO or salt had a physical change when it completely dissolved in water. A chemical change occurred when hydrochloric acid was added to CaCO3 or chalk because the mixture changed to a yellow green color. In order to obtain the percent composition, a filtration system was used to separate the sand from the liquid, by straining the solid with the use of filter paper.…

    1.In our science experiment we mixed CH3COOH and NaHCO3 to see if the reaction followed the law of conservation of mass. 2. For our experiment my hypothesis was “If we mix Acetic Acid and Sodium bicarbonate then we will get the same mass as before because you can't create or destroy matter, so therefor it will be balanced.” In the end my hypothesis was correct compared to other expirements. 3.…

    To begin with, a basic part of human civilization and life is the element of fire, though a fire is not all that basic. A fire is not a simple element, but it is a complex part of chemistry that requires multiple elements. First of all, a fire starts due to a hot temperature igniting the combustible material. Most of the common material found lying around can burn but only if there is a high temperature to ignite the material; the minimum required temperature to burn an object is known as the ignition temperature( The Chemistry of, n.d). Flash point is another term that describes the minimum temperature of a fuel to which it must be heated to for its vapour to ignite in the air with a free flame( The Chemistry of, n.d.).…

    For the second single replacement reaction experiment, zinc metal is place in a 2mL of hydrochloric acid solution; during this reaction, bubbles are forming inside the test tube which indicates the formation of gas. After the reaction, the HCl solution appears to still have bubbles in its presence and the zinc metal is fizzing. In this reaction, the zinc reacts with the hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas (equation 10). For the first double replacement reaction, barium nitrate Ba(NO3)2 is combined with sodium hydroxide NaOH. During the reaction, the mixture is cloudy and white while there are small particles of precipitation in the solution of the test tube.…

    Oxaloacetate, found in the mitochondrion, is a four-carbon molecule. In this project we performed a Bradford Assay and an SDH (Succinate Dehydrogenase) Assay. The goal of this project was to work with enzymes to gain a better understanding of how enzymes function and how they are impacted with the introduction of a variety of factors. A significant part of the experiment was determining the protein concentration of the prepared mitochondrial fraction which will be further explained.…

    In this experiment, the goal was to figure out which solute would be the best at neutralizing stomach acid the quickest. As baking soda was added to stomach acid, then the time for neutralization was the quickest. From the data chart, baking soda had the largest average pH of 6.6. On the graph, it show how baking soda had the highest peak and how it was the closest to reach 7 than any other substance. The hypothesis is supported because baking soda was the antacid that was closest to neutralization.…

    Introduction The objectives in this laboratory were to explore the titrations of several known acids and bases as well as observing the mole reactions of the chemical reactions that each compound undertook. The four following acids and bases were used to predict when a set amount of reactant would reach equilibrium: Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid), NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide), and Ba(OH)2 (Barium hydroxide). An unbalanced equation of each reaction was given so the balanced equation was then able to be calculated. These are as follows including the theoretical ratio between the acid and base: HCl + NaOH → H2O + NaCl 1:1…

    The purpose of the experiment was to observe limiting reactants by using a fixed amount of one reagent along with a varying the amount of the second reagent used in a chemical reaction. Through these results, the concept of limiting reactants can be determined. Using a graph to demonstrate the relation between the volumes of hydrogen gas produced versus the moles of the reagents will help figure out the stoichiometric balance required. The success of the experiment will be determined by the comparing the experimental values with the fixed values. Introduction Stoichiometry involves converting chemical formulas and equations that represent individual atoms, molecules, and formula units to the laboratory scale that uses milligrams, grams, and kilograms, of these substances (1).…

    Exercise 1 The abundance of nitrogen in the standard dry atmospheric composition is 781,000ppmv. The mass mixing ratio is the volume mixing ratio multiplied by the molecular mass of nitrogen all divided by the molecular mass of air. As the molecular mass of air, 28.8g, is higher than the molecular mass of nitrogen, 28g, the mass mixing ratio would be lower than the volume mixing ratio.…
