Reactions in Our World Lab Report Instructions: In this laboratory activity, you will be comparing chemical reactions to nuclear reactions by observing chemical phenomena in action. To prepare for your observations and data collection, you must complete the pre-lab activity worksheet that goes with this lab. Otherwise, you will not have the chemical equations you need to match each chemical reaction. Fill in each section of this lab report and submit it to your instructor for grading. Title: Comparison between chemical reactions and nuclear reactions Objective(s): To compare and contrast chemical and nuclear reactions. Hypothesis: Will the reactions of nuclear and chemical be similar? You will complete your hypotheses using the chart below …show more content…

Magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid will yield a single displacement reaction Electrolysis of water I predict the Electrolysis of water reaction will yield a decomposition reaction Burning magnesium I predict the reaction of Burning magnesium will yield a combustion reaction Procedures: Access the virtual lab and complete all sections of the experiments. A summary of steps has been provided for you. List and explain your controlled variables, independent variable, and dependent variable for this lab. Materials: Reactions in our World Virtual Lab Variables: List your controlled variables, independent variable, and dependent variable for each experiment in the chart below. Remember, controlled variables are factors that remain the same throughout the experiment. An independent (test) variable changes so that the experimenter can see the effect on other variables. The dependent (outcome) variable will change in response to the test …show more content…

Based on the products made, my predictions of chemical reaction type were correct. The reaction between lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide can also be categorized as a redox reaction. The reaction between magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid can also be categorized as a neutralization reaction. The investigation can be explored further by varying the concentration of reactants, the temperature, and the mass of the reactants. Additionally, the effect of catalysts on the reaction rate could be
