Every year during winter months, icy surfaces create a dangerous problem for drivers and pedestrians. Icy roads and sidewalks can become very hazardous for travel. A solution must be implemented to mitigate risks associated with winter travel. This problem is relevant to the experiment since I will be testing different methods of melting ice. The solution resulting from the experiment can be used throughout the world to make our roads safer. The literary reviews for this experiment are from…

The following is a lesson sequence which modified the above experiment to promote inquiry based learning process. The aim of the experiment: Students use the change in the colour of red cabbage indicator to classify substances as either acid or base. Note: This activity may take more than one lessons. On the first lesson, students group, discuss and prepare their experiment. On the second lesson, students will have opportunities to carry out the investigation, then record, process, and evaluate…

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…

CH 204- Introduction to Chemical Practices Experiment 1- Qualitative Analysis of Cations Sharon Alexander Kathrynn Labat TA: Yu-Chun Lin September 25, 2017 Results & Discussion This experiment was composed of three parts. In the first part, qualitative methods were used to identify the unknown cation in an aqueous solution. The cation was to be either lead or silver. If silver was present, extra steps were needed to be taken in order to confirm its presence in the…

1.7.3.4. Hydrogen sulphid test (MacFaddine, 1980): Tubes of triple sugar iron agar media were inoculated by suspected culture through stabbing into the butt and the slant then covered with sterile melted paraffin wax and incubated anaerobically for 48 h at 37°C, appearance of blackening in the butt indicates H2S production. 1.7.3.5. Sugar fermentation test (Willis, 1977): Suspected culture was inoculated to 1% peptone water tubes containing 2% bromocresol purple and 1% quantities of the…

To begin, we put 200mL of water with one drop of green food coloring into a pie tin. We then mounted the short candle into the clay in the center of the pie tin. After, we lit the candle, waited approximately five seconds and bottled the candle. Lastly, we waited for the flame to go out and measured how high the water rose in the bottle. This process was repeated for the medium and tall candle as well. Data Table: Height of Candle Height Water Rose in Bottle Short 4cm Medium 4cm Tall 4cm…

solution, because it is the source of the Grignard reagent. Because the halide cannot be eliminated, the next best option is to minimize the amount of halide in the reaction. In this experiment, a small concentration of the halide is reacted with a high concentration of magnesium to ensure maximum contact between halides and magnesium. To do this, magnesium will be placed in the round bottom flask and then halides are slowly added. Another potential source of error is that Grignard reagents must…

Investigating if dissimilar sized candles have the capability of drinking equivalent quantity of water. Aim: The drinking candle science experiment is quite enthralling, as when performed, you'll observe a burning candle drinking up all the water kept beneath it due to the behaviour of the atmospheric pressure. The aim of this experiment is to investigate if unlike sized candles have the capability of drinking the same amount of water. Hypothesis: With all the information given on different…

CaBr2 is an ionic compound, because the second element is a non-metal so it will form an ionic compound. The next step in naming an ionic compound, is to name each component as if they were ions. The first component is a cation so you leave the name alone. The second component is an anion, so you change the ending of bromine to "-ide" and it’s becomes bromide. The last step is to combine the names so, CaBr2 becomes Calcium bromide. The first element of the formula NBr₃ is nitrogen a nonmetal,…

Physical properties of PHB: PHB physical properties similar to polypropylene. However, PHB is perfectly isotactic and does not include any chain branching like, for instance, PE. During processing, it flows easily. It is insoluble in water and soluble in chloroform and other chlorinated hydrocarbons. It exhibits good barrier properties against oxygen and compared to other biopolymers. It possesses better physical properties than polypropylene for food packaging applications. (Chaijamrus & Udpuay…
