A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more reactants are converted into products. Chemical reactions are classified into five main reaction types: synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion. The type of chemical reaction can also be classified in one of two ways: oxidation-reduction or non-oxidation-reduction reactions. Based on my recollecting of prior knowledge and recent studies to obtain background information for this particular lab, I was able to design a hypothesis that I feel incorporated the main aspects of my background information. My hypothesis stated: : if evidence of a chemical reaction is detected when certain chemicals are combined, then we are able to categorize such reactions …show more content…
Our unanticipated event developed when we were experimenting with Zinc and Hydrochloric acid. Before attempting to perform this particular part of the experiment, my partner and I rechecked and examined any and all directions and/or procedures that were presented to us. We were aware that when we combined the two elements ( Zinc and Hydrochloric acid) we were essentially collecting hydrogen gas that was evolved in the test tube and if performed correctly, on ignition, it burned with a “pop” sound. Hydrogen is a combustible gas, and factors such as heat evoke a diminutive explosion, thus creating the “pop” sound. Although my partner and I followed the instructions to the best of our ability we were unable comprise the proper reaction because we had not allowed enough time for the minimum collection of hydrogen gas to occur. Thus being said, if my partner and I were to perform this lab for a second time, we can agree that to improve our experiment results we would focus more on the chemical reaction that included zinc and hydrochloric acid, for this is the chemical reaction that we were not able to collect proper data and configure our results for. If we were able to re conduct only this part of the lab, based on previous experience, we would allow more time for the hydrogen gas to collect in hopes that adding a catalyst ( in this case heat) would evoke a reaction thus ensuring a …show more content…
I feel as though if I were to improve on this I would be able to more easily decipher between the overall differences and comparisons that were evident in each chemical reaction. By doing this I also would be able to more precisely observe and explain how each product and/or reactant was affected when combined to create something
This experiment investigated the properties of metals by seeing the reactivity of metals. The metals used in this experiment were lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. What was the first chemical change observed in the lab? Explain.
Repeat steps 1-10 for two more trials. Conclusion: 1. I chose to compare temperature and amount of reactants in my experiments. I chose these because I thought they would reveal the the most drastic time differences. I also chose these factors because I had prior knowledge of them before I even started chemistry.

1. The topic I’m doing my experiment on is chemical reactions. In my experiment I will mix baking soda and vinegar in a closed plastic bottle. I hypothesize that when the baking soda and vinegar mix gas will form and start filling up the bottle eventually leading to a small explosion. The dependent variable is the product of the chemical reaction and the formation of gas filling up the bottle eventually causing an explosion.
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the different types of chemical reactions, those including Copper. There are different types of chemical reactions. A double displacement reaction is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two reacting chemical species. A a decomposition reaction is the separation of a chemical compound into elements or simpler compounds and the single-displacement reaction is a type of
Firstly, because the NaHCO3 compound was not stored in a sealed container, therefore dust particles could have changed the results, and making the product impure. Also, there are uncertainties associated with the instruments used in this experiment. This, if the products were measured slightly more than should be, this could have affected the concentrations of the solutions, and therefore causing a larger
Throughout the experiment, copper was altered a total of 5 times, but after the final chemical reaction, solid, elemental copper returned. Each time the solution changed color, a precipitate formed, or when gas appeared, indicated that a chemical reaction was occurring. For the first reaction, copper was added to nitric acid, forming the aqueous copper (II) nitrate (where the copper went), along with liquid water, and
Prompt Your response Describe an example of a chemical reaction that occurs in the body. A chemical reaction in the body that occurs is in increased metabolites with just about 10 minutes into exercise. If you consistenly exercise scientists believe there are long-term changes in your metabolism. Plant Cells Prompt Your response Describe the primary structures in plant cells.
For example, you put hydrogen gas and oxygen into a room. A little water might come out of it. But if you add a spark, an exothermic reaction explosion might occur. Single reactions often occur as a small part in a big reaction.
Q1 A reversible reaction is one which can go both ways. Reactants react to form products and products can form the reactants again. Under different conditions the reactants and products can still react but may just become a oneway reaction, however a reversible reaction will eventually reach a point of equilibrium where the products are reactant are produced at the same rate.
Explanation of the Reaction A combustion reaction is a chemical change in which a compound reacts with oxygen often producing energy in the form of heat and light.1 Candles make light by making heat, and all of the light a candle makes comes from the chemical reaction combustion. 2 Once you light a candle, the wax near the wix melts from the heat of the flame. The liquid wax is then drawn up the wick by capillary action.
In the chemical reaction in which the reactants are sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid, the products are sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. The particles of the reactants are 3 carbon, 5 hydrogen, 5
Change of color is also a part of it. According to the article “Why Does a Color Change Indicate a Chemical Change?” by Bill Robertson, it stated, “There are a number of indicators you can use to determine whether or not a chemical reaction has occurred. ”3 This shows that chemical reaction can be identified by some specific indicators.
In this lab, a chemical reaction between aluminum (Al) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) will occur. When aluminum is combined with hydrochloric acid, the chemical reaction will then produce elements of aluminum chloride(AlCl3) and hydrogen gas(H2). The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2Al+6HCl2AlCl3+3H2. The reaction produces 2 moles of aluminum chloride and 3 moles of hydrogen gas.
The purpose of this lab was to determine the molar volume of Hydrogen gas and compare it with the value predicted by the Ideal Gas Law. In this lab, I was able to calculate the number of moles of H2 produced and measure the volume of H2 gas produced and also notice how the volume, temperature and pressure changed when it had a reaction with different amounts of Zinc. In the first experiment, I determined the change of temperature, pressure and volume in Hydrogen differing from its initial temperature, pressure and volume. After adding 0.250 g of Zinc to the first part and 0.500 g of Zinc to the second part experiment to Hydrogen gas and using the Ideal Gas Law, I could notice an increase of pressure and temperature in the experiment while
