Introduction: Hot packs work by dissolving a salt, such as calcium chloride, in water to create an exothermic reaction. When salts are dissolved in water it requires energy to break their bonds apart, but energy is also released when the ions are surrounded by the water molecules. If more energy is released than is required to break the bonds, the reaction will be exothermic and will produce heat. In hot packs the water is kept separate from the salt, and when it needs to be activated, they are…

chemistry. The reaction involves mixing two chemicals were to form an excited (high-energy) intermediate that releases energy as light. This experiment first synthesized luminol by reducing 5-nitro-2,3-dihyodropthlazine-1,4-dione, using sodium hydrosulfite (Na2S2O4) and 3M sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The amount of luminol collected was 0.2693 g with the percent yield of 161%. The product of the first reaction was then used to recreate the chemiluminescence experiment by mixing luminol, oxidizing…

We all know that we have our own unique fingerprints but did you know that you can make sun prints? You may be wondering what a sunprint is, a sunprint is like a unique type of photo made with special sunprint paper that with the help of the sun creates a permanent image. A sunprint is formed when a chemical reaction happens with chemicals inside the paper,but before we talk about that, here is how you make a sunprint. You can make a sunprint by placing an object on a sheet of sunprint paper,…

Iodine is a metallic grey element found in the halogen part of the periodic table. In the early 1900s, many people in the U.S. were suffering from Iodine deficiencies which caused all sorts of health complications. The decision to add iodine to salt was made to remedy these deficiencies and the problems associated with them. Salt was picked as a host for the iodine, because of its widespread use and the ease at which iodine could be added. This decision did not come without a cost and today the…

What is Sodium cyanide? Sodium Cyanide is an inorganic Compound, it has a formula NaCN. Cyanide actually has a high affinity for metals which can lead to a high toxicity of the salt. Sodium Cyanide has a boiling point of 2,725°F (1,496°C) and it also has a melting point of 1,047°F (563.7°C). A common name for sodium Cyanide is sodium salt of hydrocyanic acid. Cyanide has an appearance of while crystalline or granular powder. This toxin releases a hydrogen cyanide gas which is…

Goggles are imperative for keeping your eyes safe in the lab. By wearing goggles you can protect your eyes from foreign items and substances from hurting them. Keeping goggles on at all times, when working with any chemical substance is mandatory, if any chemicals splash into the eyes, the eyes are protected by the goggles. The right clothing can help avoid many accidents in the lab. Wearing your lab coat can protect you from any chemicals coming in direct contact with your skin. Also,…

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…

There are several different reactions that can be utilized in order to end with a product that includes the synthesis of carbon-carbon bonds, however for this experiment the reaction that was utilized is aldol condensation. An aldol condensation is when an enolizable aldehyde or ketone undergoes a reaction, in the presence of a base or acid, and gives a beta unsaturated ketone or aldehyde (Utah Valley University, 2009). This type of reaction can also add carbonyls to a compound, using similar…

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…
