Silver chloride

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…

Plant Material Collection Fully grown whole plants of Tribulus terrestris Linn. were collected from different localities of Chennai, Tamilnadu. The fruits were separated out from the plants and washed in running tap water to remove adhering dirt and soil particles and dried first under shade in room temperature and secondly in a hot-air oven for complete drying at 50-60˚C. The dried fruits were made into coarse powder by grinding and stored in labelled bottles for further study and…

This experiments goal was to successfully produce ZnI2 by using Zinc Sulfate (Heptahydrate) and Barium Iodide Dehydrate, which Jessica and I did with acceptable success. The definition of acceptable success for this experiment is measured by how close our percent yield was close to the ranges provided (0-2% being considered excellent precision and etc). Our percent yield was 92 % meaning that it was an acceptable, but not exactly as close to what we wanted it to be. In order to try and figure…

of Sodium Chloride, being that it is not Hygroscopic, Efflorescent or Deliquescent. Thus, based on this experiment solely, it is not ensured that the salt is Sodium Chloride as 3 other salts share this…

which possibly contained multiple cations. The precipitate formed possibly contained Ag+ and/or Pb2+. Hot DI water was added to the precipitate, forming a solution possibly containing lead (II) ions. A lack of precipitate formed denied the presence of silver ions. Then, K2CrO4 was added to the solution, forming a yellow precipitate to confirm the presence of Pb2+ ions in Unknown #112.…

sufficient amount of time, it was carefully removed from the hot plate and left to cool down to room temperature. When the aqueous solution was cooled, one milliliter of saturated sodium chloride was added. By adding saturated sodium chloride, it attracts any water compounds that might react with caffeine. After sodium chloride was mixed in, 25 milliliters of ethyl acetate was used to separate the caffeine from the organic layer. Ethyl acetate is a polar compound that is used to attracted…
