Sodium thiopental

Salt, NaCl, is a chemical compound made of sodium and chloride which has been very important to humans for many years. Salt’s ability to preserve food was the most important aspect for many civilizations. It helped eliminate the problem of only being able to eat seasonal food. Also since salt was rather hard to obtain many people used it as a form of currency. Today, However salt is almost universally accessible, while being cheap and often iodized.…

Introduction Finally, a warm day after a harsh winter, so what can you expect, all the ice/snow melting and flowing into our drains or into our grass, soil, and plants (Gould, 2013). Alongside with the ice/snow melting away into 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…

The purpose of this lab is to understand the effect that dissolved impurities will have on the freezing point of a mixture and what additive will affect the the freezing point the most. The freezing point of a liquid is, the point of a substance when the temperature of the solid and the liquid is equal. When water freezes the water molecules become organized and come closer together forming crystal particles of ice.When a solute (like salt) and a solvent (like water) mix together the salt…

When both solutions are mixed a white precipitate (Calcium Carbonate) is formed alongside Sodium Chloride. A clear colourless liquid is observed as the white precipitate is filtered through the filter paper.…

Overall the experiment provided significant data, despite problems with reagent contamination. Iron (III)-thiocyanate complexes in equilibrium, meaning that external and internal forces on the equilibrium can shift toward the reactants or the complex. External forces are changes to the chemical or physical environment that effect the equilibrium. Internal forces are changes to the bonds or chemical nature of the complex itself. These effects are used to study the optimal chromogenic reagent,…

025 mol/L (0.05N) sulfuric Acid. Using a volumetric pipette, add 3 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid to approx. 1500 ml water in 2 liter volumetric flask. Dilute volume with water. Standard Preparations: Accurately weigh 0.240g each std1 and std2 of sodium acetate tri-hydrate W.S. into 100 ml volumetric flask. Then dilute 25 ml to 50 ml with water. Sample Preparation: Dilute with water such that the concentrated of the sample lies within the concentrated range of the appropriate working…

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…
