Sodium compounds

A similar experiment such as the reaction of Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid includes the “Yellow Snowstorm” reaction – a reaction between Copper (II) and Thiosulfate. Copper (II) sulfate [CuSO4·5H2O] dissolves to give cupric ion (Cu2+); in the context of a redox reaction with thiosulfate, the cupric ion acts as an oxidizing agent. Reactions within the temperature on Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid occur as the result of molecules interacting with each other to create new…

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), or sodium hydrogen carbonate, also known as baking soda and bicarbonate of soda, is a soluble white crystalline compound, with a slight alkaline taste resembling that of sodium carbonate. It is found in many mineral springs, in natural deposits in USA and is mainly produced by the Solvay process: NaCl + NH3 + CO2 + H2O NaHCO3 + NH4Cl Sodium bicarbonate, when exposed to an acid, releases carbon dioxide and water: NaHCO3 + HCl NaCl + H2O + CO2 (gas) Above 70°C,…

barium chloride and silver nitrate reacted to form barium nitrate and silver chloride. The precipitate at station one was silver chloride. Both reactions at station two did not react. Station three had a reaction occur between sodium carbonate and calcium sulfate forming sodium sulfate and calcium carbonate. The precipitate was calcium carbonate. Station four formed a…

properties. Theory A precipitation reaction is one which produces an insoluble salt as product. An example would be; Ca(NO3)2 + H2SO4 = CaSO4 + 2HNO3 The calcium salt is insoluble. Precipitation reactions could be used in this experiment to eliminate compounds while attempting to identify others. Halides react with AgNO3 to form insoluble halides. These ions form white-yellow precipitates that enable differentiation. Ag+ + NO3 - + M+ + X- = AgX + MNO3 Precipitates…

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 by performing a variety of tests for the…

1+2.) The results gathered showed that compound A had two spots, lower spot had an rf value of 0.48 and upper spot had an rf value of 0.77, this shows that compound A contained both paracetamol which has an rf value of 0.48 and caffeine which has an rf value of 0.77. Compound B had an rf value of 0.77 which is the same as caffeine therefore compound B contained caffeine. Compound C had an rf value of 0.48 which is the same as paracetamol therefore compound C contained paracetamol. These results…

observed, this might be due to the Bunsen burner not being completely cleaned or the sodium not being completely pure. The observed colours match those of the spectrum, and can be accepted as true. The observed colour for lithium was a dark red colour. Lithium’s emission spectrum consists of purple, blue, cyan and red. Few darker specks of blue were observed, possibly from the same substance that made the specks, when sodium was burned. The observed dark red colour fits the emission spectrum of…

project was to identify the unknown compound and thoroughly investigate it to find its physical and chemical properties which reveal the way it might behave. This was done by performing many anion, cation, solubility, and pH tests to help us to determine the identity of our compound. The list of salts in the lab manual made it possible to narrow down the possibilities of our unknown compound. After identifying the compound, the goal was to synthesize the unknown compound. To determine the…

The unknown compound was composed of small, white crystals as shown in picture 1. The compound was completely odorless, which was tested by simply smelling the compound. Picture 1 (Unknown Compound): The solubility test of the unknown compound determined that the compound was soluble in water (H2O). The other known salts that were tested that were also soluble were all of the sulfates and NaCl. These were the only salts tested, because before this experiment it was determined by the flame test…

benzocaine, proton transfers occurred via reaction with hydrochloric acid, which led to a significant shift in the polarity of the said compound, although the conjugate acid of benzocaine formed as a result. Due to the change in polarity, the state of benzocaine shifted from being solubilized in diethyl ether to water. Through vacuum filtration, water was removed. Sodium hydroxide was added to the separated water in order to produce…
