The other three possible salts were not so much. By reducing the temperature, the KNO3 crystals began to form, leaving behind the other three, which are too soluble to even crystallize under such low temperature. In part II, the filtrate now contains more chloride and sodium ions, so NaCl is to be removed next. Since NaCl is the least soluble out of the four possible salts at the majority of temperatures, but does not change solubility very much with the change of temperature. Therefore, the best way to crystallize NaCl is by evaporation. Through evaporation, the concentrations of sodium ions and chloride ions increased. The concentrations of the ions were so high that not all the ions can remain dissolved, therefore forming crystals of NaCl. The more the filtrate evaporates on the hot plate, the more NaCl crystals began to form. The theoretical yield is what would be if 100% of the reaction was complete and no amount of products were lost. But this all depends the technical perfection of doing the experiment. Reactions can sometimes be reversible; therefore less than 100% of the reaction goes to completion. Some other reactions require very high amount of energy or extended time so it cannot go to

    The unknown compound we received consisted of white crystal-like particles and was a solid at room temperature. During the smell test, we did not receive any indication of a distinct smell, thus concluding that the compound is ionic. The solubility tests indicated that the compound was soluble in water, NaOH, and HCl and non-soluble in acetone and toluene as shown in Table 1. The compound was soluble in water indicating that the compound is either polar or ionic, but not soluble in toluene or acetone eliminating it being polar or nonpolar, making our compound ionic.…

    Magnesium ion is required for generating Ser102 nucleophile Stec et al. suggested a reaction mechanism involving three metal ions, which is modified from the two metal ion catalysis theory proposed by Kim and Wyckoff (16). As mentioned, Ser102 acts as a nucleophile and facilitates the departure of an alcohol group during the first step of this reaction. In order for this occur, Ser102 has to be deprotonated. X-ray crystallography has been used to examine the mechanism of alkaline phosphatase.…

    Usually, this state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction. Chemical reactions vary greatly in the speed at which they occur. Some are essentially instantaneous, while others may take a very long time to reach equilibrium. The reaction is presented by The time in the reaction when the mixture remains colourless is the clock period.…

    h Lab Report Katelyn Gularski (Hayly Stein) PM Tuesday 9/9/14 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to separate the mixture of salt, sand, and shells, so that each could be individually massed and the percentage-by-mass could be determined. The best way to get the sand and shells by themselves is to get rid of the salt. Since salt is dissolvable in water, you use water solubility (Hallows, 2014). Water solubility is defined as a substance being able to completely dissolve in water (“Water Soluble”).…

    Introduction The first heat packs are believed to date back to 12th century China, during the winter locals would carry around hot rocks to use as portable “kairos”. Then, in the early 1900s, people began to use smoldering dried peat moss. The burning heat source was usually placed in a portable tin to keep in pockets. This report examines the chemical composition of a modern heat pack.…

    Thank you for your insight on different electrolytes. The fluctuating fluid levels in the body do cause electrolyte balances to be constantly shifting. It is sad that there is no known reason for heat cramps, but at least there is ways to subside the pain and consumption of electrolytes the problem can be fixed. It is nice that there are readily available foods and drinks that can help stabilize any electrolyte imbalances, such as those you listed in your discussion, that we can use to correct the imbalances that are caused through everyday activities such as sweating, illness, and using the restroom. I like how you included a list of major roles that electrolytes play in every person’s body.…

    Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to use the general chemical knowledge to identify 10 different unknown solutions. There are two main techniques that were used which are, measuring their pH, and, reacting all of the solutions together. Identifying an unknown solution is an essential skill for anyone who is going to work in a lab because many times, the label might not be accurate, or damaged. Procedure: Safety Precautions: Eye protection - Avoid skin contact. Procedure: Ten unknown solutions were obtained in addition to a spot plate and pH test paper.…

    Results and discussion 3.1 Ionic conductivity measurements The complex impedance plots for the polymer electrolytes with different amounts of TBAI /LiI is shown in Fig. 1. It can be displayed that the ionic conductivity increases with the increase in TBAI salt content and reaches the maximum value of 1.737×10-3 S cm-1 at 298 K for 60 % of TBAI content, beyond decreases on further addition of TBAI. At a low content of TBAI, the conductivity is low due to the small number of charge carriers in the electrolytes.…

    Once it was heated and left to cool to room temperature the crystallization process began. It did took about several minutes to see some crystallization but once it did a bunch of crystals began to appear. To speed up the process we stirred the solution. When we separated the aspirin from the mixture while using vacuum filtration some of our product was lost during the transfer. In the purification section, we used 20 mL of ethanol and 40 mL of water to reduce the likelihood of hydrolysis.…

    Conclusion: The the precipitation reactions lab eight out of the fourteen occurring reactions were precipitates. A precipitate means that a solid substance was formed or a substance that is not aqueous was formed. The reactions that did not form a precipitate were DNR, which means that they did not react. At station one barium chloride and potassium nitrate did not react but barium chloride and silver nitrate reacted to form barium nitrate and silver chloride. The precipitate at station one was silver chloride.…
