Sodium chloride

change in temperature of 8.5*C and a theoretical change in temperature of 1.03*C. The percent error for this additive was 8.1% error. My hypothesis was,If the freezing point depends on the number of ions in a substance, then the chemical aluminum chloride will have the greatest impact on the freezing point because it has the maximum amount of ions. My hypothesis was not supported because, NaCl is the additive that had the greatest impact on the freezing point because the concentration of the…

skeletal muscle, the heart muscle depolarizes automatically when external stimuli are not present. This is called automaticity, which happens when the plasma membranes in heart muscle cells allow sodium to leak into the cell at a faster rate than potassium is moving across the membrane (book). The sodium moving inside the cell causes it to progressively…

prepare the absorbent, we will be using sodium alginate and calcium carbonate.1Sodium alginate is a common additive to foods, so there are several types. The type we will be using is called sodium;3,4,5,6-tetrahydroxy oxane-2-carboxylate. There are several sources to buy sodium alginate. However, we will buy it from Modernist Pantry, which the sodium alginate concentration has already been prepared. Before the preparation of calcium alginate itself, sodium alginate should be kept in a 39.2…

Even so, its nutritional value is essentially the same as ordinary table salt and sea salt. All three consist almost entirely of sodium chloride. Sodium is important for health in that it has benefits such as helping your muscles and nerves to function properly. As with table salt, it is important to limit your consumption of rock salt. Diets that are high in sodium are associated with high blood pressure and heart disease. Salt is thought to benefit health in a number of ways, such…

The cation test told whether the unknown contained barium, calcium, potassium, sodium, strontium, lithium, copper, or magnesium. Given a chart of the colors that each burn, lit the unknown on fire with a bunsen burner and compared the flame color with the colors in the chart. In order to identify the anion, we needed to perform four anion reactions: chloride, sulfate, nitrate, and carbonate. To identify a chloride, equal amounts of the unknown solution, 6M HNO3, and AgNO3 are mixed together…

our environments so is that salt that was previously used to treat the roads (Gould, 2013). Roadside vegetation can become injured or die to due to the runoff from the treated pavements (Gould, 2013). The salt used for treated pavements is usually chloride-based and is applied to roadways, driveways, sidewalks, and highways to melt ice and snow to ensure safety for pedestrians as well as motorists (Gould, 2013). To improve traction de-icing salts can often be mixed with abrasives such as sand,…

At first glance, all the substances may have been considered to be similar, as they are all white substances that are generally fine powder or small crystals. However, the lab revealed substances C: citric acid, D: sucrose, and H: benzoic acid to be covalent compounds, while the remaining substances to be all ionic. The previously stated covalent compounds all were found to have low relative melting points when heating them on a hot plate, but they had mixed results to their solubilities:…

in water. Back titration is a reverse method of titration used to obtain unknown concentration of analyte. A roughly weighed quantity of toothpaste? calcium carbonate is dissolved in a known amount of hydrochloric acid and is then titrated against sodium hydroxide. An orange colour will be observed at the end point. This experiment is a success as two results obtained from the experiment were relatively close furthermore, an average of 21.50% of calcium carbonate obtained is close to the…

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. This was necessary because hydrochloric acid helped separate the cations, which is what was needed in order to distinguish the lead or silver from the calcium or…

assigned with glucose and sucrose. Diluting 1 M of sodium chloride with water made six solutions. The six solutions ranging from 0M to 1M were prepared. These 6 solutions composed of 50 mL of solutions with different concentration of NaCl. The uses of concentrations of NaCl were 0M, 0.2M, 0.4M, 0.6M, 0.8M, and 1M. Then 6 equally sized and shaped cylinders of potato were obtained and weighed initially. Then these 6 potatoes were put inside of the sodium chloride solutions. After 45 minutes, the 6…
