Swarm Formal Lab Report

Decent Essays
To start off with this experiment, we drew dot structures for each compound and decided whether the compound was polar, nonpolar, or ionic. We found that KCl and CaCl*2H2O were ionic compounds, so we used the electrical conductivity tester to insure us that they indeed conducted electricity. After testing these two compounds, we decided that KCl was the solution labeled “Wolves” and CaCl*2H2O was the solution labeled “Swarm”. We decided this because we knew that the CaCl*2H2O compound was a hydrate, so the compound had to have some kind of crystal-like structures within the compound and so therefore, we knew that it would have to be the solution called “Swarm”. We then took the remaining solutions that were in a liquid state, and mixed them

    Elizabeth Lee James Poland CHEM 104A 21 September 2014 Discussion and Conclusion of Experiment #4: States of Matter Sleuth Discussion The results of this experiment enabled the experimenter to determine the identity of an unknown salt (#3) using ion-exchange chromatography by analyzing the inorganic salts of the unknown salt, which can be examined by acid-base titration using ion-exchange resin. The stationary phase is made up of acid groups which will attach to the resin, which is then rinsed down the column with water. The mobile phase contains the inorganic salt dissolved in a solvent, which is then added to the column. As it goes down the column, an exchange of H+ ions and cations occur. The solution collected at the bottom of the column contains the acid form of the inorganic salt.…

    The hydrates were BaCL2*2H2O, CuSO4 *5H2O, CaCL2*2H2O, and ZnSO4*7H2O and each has a different percent water in the hydrate. Determining the percent water in the hydrate would allow for the identity of the hydrate to be found. In order to determine the percent water in a hydrate, the mass of the hydrate, the…

    This means that the unknown compound does conduct electricity. The compound was tested and had a pH of 5. This means that the compound is acidic according to the pH scale. Being acidic means that the substance has more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions according to “pH”3 .The chemical and physical properties are stated in Table 1.…

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the formula of copper chloride hydrate by dehydration through heating, rehydration through adding water back in, the reaction of aluminum with the copper chloride hydrate to produce solid copper, and the weight of this copper. To accomplish this, a petri dish was weighed and 1.01 g of copper chloride hydrate was added to the dish. The solid salt crystals were broken up to make sure that all of the hydrate would be heated the same. Next, the petri dish and hydrate were heated upon a hot plate for roughly 15 minutes, until all the salt crystals were brown instead of blue. This indicated that all of the water had been burned out of the hydrate, leaving dehydrated copper chloride.…

    Discussion and Scientific Explanations The main goals of this experiment was to find the unknown compound, to discover the compounds chemical and physical properties and create two synthesis of the compound and compare the two compounds. We found out our compound was ionic because the compound dissolved in water, but not in toluene or acetone by using a solubility test, results on Table 1 of the group lab report. On page 59 of the Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual is a chart on suggested liquids and the inference if the compound is soluble [1]. When then checked the pH of the solution by using pH strip. The solution had a pH>7.…

    This made it effortless for H2O to detach from the substance when coming in contact with a heating source. This effectively left the substance anhydrous. This experiment determines the number of water molecules related to the hydrate. The experiment also helped formulate the empirical formula and percent composition of the hydrate…

    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…

    Drosophila Melanogaster (common fruit fly) is widely used to understand the complex processes involved in genetics and development. The nervous system of Drosophila and vertebrates consists of neurons and glial cells. Glial cells are the most abundant cell type in the nervous system. Glial cells are cells in the central and peripheral nervous system that provide support and protection for neurons, form myelin and provide insulation. In vertebrates, the glial cell subtypes are: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and Schwann cells.…

    Styles make the fights that is what boxing promoters always say when they choose two fighters to encounter each other in the ring. A boxer's repertoire, speed, ferociousness, capability to yield a punch, and persona determines the style. Boxing styles are more instinct than a learned feature. Once someone boxes more and more they will find themselves suiting into one of the four styles swarmer, slugger, boxer, and a boxer-puncher.…

    In this lab, the main objective is to identify the identity of an unknown compound via the methods of extraction, recrystallization, and melting point determination (University of Windsor, 2015). An important factor in this experiment is solubility. Solubility is the affinity for one solvent over the other. Liquids, or aqueous solutions, that may dissolve the same compound are commonly found to be miscible. By using liquid – liquid extraction a compound can transform into an ionic form, soluble in polar solvents (water), through acid-base reactions.…

    Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…

    In this experiment, two cations in an unknown solution were found using qualitative analysis. For Part A, the solution was to contain either silver or lead, while in Part B, the solution that was set on the side form Part A was identified to contain either calcium or barium. Part C explored a different method through the use of cation flame tests to observe colored flames from six metal chloride solutions. In Part A, the initial step was to add HCl to the unknown sample.…

    When calculating the quantitative solubility of the unknown compound in water, the amount of water that was measured in the hydrated cylinder and poured into the flask could have been greater than expected. This is more likely than less water being used because more solute was needed to saturate the solution than expected. Another error that could have occurred during this part of the experiment was that too much of the unknown compound was added accidently to the solution than could dissolve. Most of the error in this lab occurred during the quantitative analysis since all of the percent yields of the precipitate were over 100%. This miscalculation could have been caused by the beakers not being washed out thoroughly between each reaction or by the mass of KCl measured on the electronic scale being greater than exactly 0.5 grams.…

    Discussion For the first part of the experiment, a solubility test was conducted on all compounds. Because they were all ionic, every known compound naturally dissolved in water, and conducted electricity. As the next determining factor in the process to identify the unknown substance, the compounds were tested in acetone. As seen in table 2, only one compound, Ca(NO3)2 was found to be soluble in this solvent.…
