Limiting reagents can be easily determined on paper with stoichiometry, however, observing how it actually works is essential. This lab is focused on putting stoichiometry to use by determining and observing the limiting reagent in the given, balanced reaction. In the field of chemistry, many want to produce a product by reacting to reactants that will create a certain amount of a product. In order to complete this, a chemist requires a balanced equation that states the exact amounts of reactants required to produce an exact amount of a product. In this particular lab, the insoluble barium iodate Ba(IO3)2 is produced by the reactants barium chloride and potassium iodate. the balanced equation to produce insoluble barium iodate is Ba^2+(aq) …show more content…
First, excess Ba^2+ was tested by adding 3 drops of 0.1 M sodium sulfate to test well 1A and is observed. Following this test, record the data in you’re stage 1 data sheet. Once excess Ba^2 was tested, Excess IO3 is tested by adding 5 drops of sodium bisulfate indictor solution to well 1B to be observed. The observations were recorded in the stage 1 data chart. The excess tests were repeated using pipet B and clear liquid solution from tube B and placed in wells 2A and 2B. Next, this test was repeated for tubes C-E. Following the completion of the tests, all test tubes, pipets, and well plates were cleaned out and liquid waste was disposed of in the proper container. Once all data was collected, results were shared in class. Following this, all previous steps were repeated for the second and third stage. Following the end of all 3 stages. Pipets and wooden sticks were disposed. Test tubes were cleaned out and lab stations were cleaned …show more content…
In this experiment, Ba^2+ was the excess reagent for the majority of tests in all 3 stages. During the stages, the times where IO3 was the excess reagent was when there was more starting IO3 than Ba2+ and vice versa when Ba^2+ was the excess reagent. In the experiments, when the clear liquid solution was mixed with sodium sulfate, it determined whether there was excess Ba^2+ based on the color it produced. When it produced a cloudy color, it meant that there was excess barium in the mix. When excess IO3 was determined it produced a black color when there was excess IO3. Overall the data shows that there is excess reagent when there is a greater amount of that reactant in the experiment. Plenty of trials were completed in order to confirm our observations. One variable that could have hindered the experiment data is that when a member was absent in the first two stages, it removed the extra confirmation that the results were accurate or if the member had made an error, he/she possibly would not have been able to realize it and could’ve slightly hindered the data. Overall the experiment conducted went well with a good amount of trials, however extra confirmation could’ve changed the results determined in the experiment and its
In this lab we were trying to figure out if Salt Creek and Barker Lake had the correct chemical balances to sustain catfish for the years coming. In order to find this out, we tested the water using a Hach Water Testing Kit. Inside were dissolved oxygen reagent powder pillows 1, 2 and 3 which we added and mixed into our sample water to prepare it for testing. Then we added droplets of Sodium Thiosulphate Solution into the prepared water too see how much dissolved oxygen parts per million were in the water. Our independent variable in this experiment was the 5 different testing sites that we went to for water samples.
In order to find the amount of a product made during a double displacement reaction, the product has to be separated from the solution. From this number of moles of precipitate can be calculated. From there the number of moles of reactants can be calculated using the mole ratios of the particular reaction that occurred. As seen in Table 5 it is shown that by finding out the number of moles of the unknown, the molar mass of the unknown can be calculated. From the found mass of the unknown compound, the mound of the original ion can be found.

“Duckweed Recap” The duckweed lab was done to see the effects of road salt on the production of duckweed fronds. The purpose of this lab was to see if the salt concentration significantly affected the growth of the duckweed fronds. We had five different glass jar, one being a control with no salt in the water solution and four jars with different amounts of salt water concentrations and five ml of miracle grow in them. We started the experiment by putting four healthy and green duckweed plants with two fronds on each in every jar.
This helps to indicate whether or not the reaction follows Markovnikov’s Rule, which states that the electrophile (E+) will add to the carbon involved in a double bond that produces the most stable carbocation. If the rule is followed, the reaction will proceed according to the mechanism in Figure 1. In the silver nitrate test, the alkyl bromide is added to AgNO3. The rate of precipitation with 2° should be faster than the solution with the 1° alkyl halide. In the sodium iodide test, the alkyl halide is added to sodium iodide in acetone.
The system in which the experiment took place was mostly closed, so neither the composition nor number of particles changed throughout the experiment. However, there was a possibility that the humididty and temperature were not definitely controlled, despite measures taken to keep them controlled, such as keeping doors and windows closed and controlling the temperature with the air conditioner and the material of the Ideal Gas Law being plastic, which is a poor conductor. Another weakness in this lab was that it was difficult to push the syringe at the same speed for each test, due to the increasing pressure, which at the smallest volumes made it difficult to push the syringe at
The first experiment involved in this four-week project was the extraction and
This was an indicator to see if a reaction had occurred, and would change color if one had. The two test tubes were then placed in the water, and sat for around 5 to 6 minutes until a reaction had started to occur. Both the distilled water and the Alkaline
We then remove the blank buffer, add a protein sample, and then read the absorbance (lab

If only one reactant is increased, then the chemical reaction will only produce a certain amount of products after the limiting reagent is used up, and in this experiment, the most mass the reaction could produce was 0.4 grams. Although we kept adding calcium chloride, not adding sodium hydroxide in the same proportions will not yield more product, which is the main goal in conducting this lab. We should have seen a plateau at 0.4 grams to show that the limiting reagent inhibited further Ca(OH)2 production, but we made several mistakes in our experiment, which made the data unusable to conclude. Once again, the data is polluted, so these number are not accurate, but it is the data our group has to work with. The theoretical yield should have been more than the actual yield, and the percentages should have been less than 100.
The purpose of this lab was to determine the molecular formula of the complex ion formed between iron (II) and phenanthroline through the use of spectroscopy and knowledge of limiting reactants. This lab is important as it can be used to discover molecular formulas of compounds as well as provide a representation of how limiting and excess reactants influence chemical reactions. To accomplish the main goal of this lab, we had to find a way to determine what the limiting reactant was and how we could use that knowledge to prove the ratio that allows for the most product to be made. The idea of limiting reactants says that the amount of product made cannot be greater than the amount of limiting reactant used, in terms of moles of each. By holding
So the moles of bases and acids become same and as a result we can obtain equation which is given below to figure out unknown concentration of acid. C_acid*V_acid=C_base*V_base Finally, the obtained results from experiment compared with the theoretical values to sure from the punctuality of

These two laws are collinearly related through its total summation being which is equal to 0, except that for Kirchhoff’s Current Law having its variables to be of currents flowing into and outward a node (fig.1), and for Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law having its variables in terms of the drops and rises of its voltages in a closed loop (fig. 2). ∑▒I_in +∑▒I_out =0 Figure 1: Kirchhoff’s Current Law ∑▒V=0 Figure 2: Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law For experiment 9 entitled Kirchhoff’s Rules, the activity hoped to exemplify and prove Kirchhoff’s Law in mainly one aspect of his law which
• Iodine Solution Weigh 7.7g of potassium iodide into a 50cm3 beaker. Use distilled water to help the iodide dissolve. Swirl for a few minutes until the iodide has completely dissolved. Using a funnel to help, pour the potassium iodide into a 500cm3 volumetric flask, make sure all traces of the solution is in the volumetric flask. Using distilled water would be a good method in order to rinse the beaker.
