Sodium silicate

After placing the solution on the stir bar, 3.7560 g of (sodium aluminate) was added to the solution. The thermometer was also added to the solution, but it was simply suspended in the solution as to ensure the thermometer did not touch the bottom of the beaker. As this solution heated and the sodium aluminate dissolved, 50 mL of distilled water was placed on an extra hot beaker. Once the water began to boil, 2.6478 g (sodium silicate) was added into the beaker with constant manual stirring…

During the experiment, observations were made about their physical appearance. In part I, reaction one produced a blinding, bright white light when the metal burned and the metal turned into a white powdery substance. For reaction two, there was no reaction at first and it took a long time for it to react, but then bubbles started to form around the magnesium ribbon and the substance turned into a pink-yellowish color around the magnesium strip when it was placed in the 150 milliliters beaker.…

Figure 3. Possible reaction mechanism for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate. Based on the findings from all of the used techniques, the species formed in the beginning are ammonium ion, oxygen and chlorine species. The decomposition products of ammonium ion were hydroxylamine, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide. The perchlorate ion loses one of the oxygen atoms and forms chlorate ion. The ammonia is lost in reaction through formation of hydroxylamine, which is formed in reaction between…

The Calorimetric Determination of Enthalpy and Entropy Changes of the Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Sulphate Decahydrate Abstract Sodium sulphate decahydrate thermally decomposes to anhydrous sodium sulphate at 50⁰ C and cools to form anhydrous sodium sulphate. Using Hess's Law the enthalpy and entropy changes of this process can be determined in order to deduce the spontaneity of the reaction. The transition temperature was determined by melting the hydrated crystals at 50⁰ C and allowing…

Most people who watch crime dramas (Law & Order, NCIS, or CSI) on TV know what the cops do when they’re at a crime scene. When cops are investigating a crime scene, they spray a special type of solution involving the chemical Luminol that glows blue in the dark. The topic of this experiment is to determine what other liquids can react with Luminol to make the solution glow blue in the dark. The independent variable would be the types of chemicals used (in cups) and the dependent variable would…

3-(4-acetylphenyl)-6-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (2) Compound 1 ( 0.01 mol) fused with p-aminoacetophenone ( 0.01 mol) at 160 oC in an oil bath for 2 h. Crystallized from ethanol to give redish brown crystals of 2, m.p. 210oC in 80% yield. Analysis for C22H14BrClN2O2, Calcd.: % C, 58.24; H, 3.11; N, 6.17, Found: % C, 58.31; H, 3.17; N, 6.20, IR spectrum (KBr, cm-1) showed characteristic absorption bands at 3380 (C-H aromatic), 1710 (C=O of acetyl), at 1690 (C=O of…

Creating food: Before making the food, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly. After washing your hands, make sure to wipe down your station before using it. There are alcohol spray bottles throughout the lab. Spray it in your area and use the paper towels to wipe it down. Obtain a clean polystyrene vial and fill one eighth of the tube with dry food. The fly food was purchased from the Carolina Biological Supply company. Add about 9 ml of water to the dry food and gently roll the vial five…

As it can be seen the concentration of the phenol compounds decreased as the hydrogen peroxide increases. The presence of the anions decreases the rates of the phenolic compounds, the sulfates influence in a smaller degree. For phenol and 2-nitrophenol the difference in slope or degradation rates for chloride and sulfate are 0.71 and 0.55, and only 0.16 for 2-chlorophenol. The presence of chloride inhibits in greater proportion the formation of hydroxyl radicals than the sulfate , this can be…

There are so many chemical reactions and it is important to classify a chemical reaction to understand the reaction and predict the products. In this lesson, we will discuss the definition and go over examples of a combination reaction. !!!What is a Combination Reaction? Putting furniture together, combining ingredients to make something delicious – these things can be fun activities and we look forward to the results. Each individual component is not very exciting by itself. However, if we…

Alkalinity is a measure of the ability of a water to resist changes in pH. Alkalinity in water is due to the presence of weak acid systems that consume by hydrogen ion produced by other reactions, allowing chemical or biological activities to take place within a water without changing the pH (1). In this way the alkalinity protects aquatic life. The measured value may vary considerably with the end-point pH used. Alkalinity is a measure of an aggregate property of water and can be interpreted…
