Chemical Change Lab Report

The purpose of this lab was to be able to use physical characteristics to determine the identity of an unknown compound. The data from this experiment classified aluminum as metallic; ascorbic acid, paraffin, palmitic acid, sucrose, graphite, and water as molecular; sodium chloride as ionic. In order to determine this, 3 tests were conducted. The first test was to test the conductivity of each substance at room temperature. In this test, only graphite and aluminum conducted. This shows that these substances conduct electricity as a solid. The next test was conductivity as a solution. From our findings, sucrose had poor conductivity, while ascorbic acid and sodium chloride had good conductivity. Ascorbic acid conducts electricity because

Based on this chemical equation, two moles of aqueous hydrated copper (II) sulfate reacted with aqueous sodium carbonate, a precipitate of copper (II) carbonate hydroxide was formed along with aqueous sodium sulfate, gaseous carbon dioxide, and liquid water. The copper (II) carbonate hydroxide precipitate is also the malachite that was obtained from the solution. It was known that a chemical reaction was occurring when the copper (II) sulfate solution was mixed in with the sodium carbonate based on the fact that the color of the solution changed from blue to light blue and the solution frothed. The malachite

1. Suppose a household product label says it contains sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate). Using your results from Data Table 1 as a guide, how would you test this material for the presence of sodium bicarbonate?

1)The purpose of this lab was to compare the physical properties of different types of solids and how the properties of solids are determined by their intermolecular forces and their intramolecular bonds. Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic.

The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the different types of chemical reactions, those including Copper.

When water and vinegar were added to Powder A, the powder dissolved. This evidence shows that Powder A was soluble with vinegar and water. When iodine was added to Powder A, it reacted, changing color to orange/brown. Reactivity is a chemical property, it is the rate at which a substance inclines to undergo a chemical reaction. Powder B, when mixed with water, vinegar, and iodine, reacted by fizzing. But when iodine was added to it, it turned thick black. Powder C, on the other hand, when mixed with water and iodine, dissolved as well, therefore it is soluble, and reacted to vinegar by fizzing. When iodine was added to Powder C, it changed color to reddish orange. Finally, when Powder D was mixed with water and vinegar, it did not dissolve; therefore, it was insoluble, but when iodine was added, it changed color to greenish black. When liquids were added to the four powders, they reacted differently, and the transmutations that were distinguished availed with the identification of the

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

To investigate and compare how different temperature (5℃, 15℃, 25℃, 35℃, 45℃) can affect the concentration of carbon dioxide in soda water through titration with sodium hydroxide solution.

Cell membranes are the semi-permeable membrane that surrounds all cells. It separates the extracellular environment from the intercellular environment. It is a phospholipid bilayer which contains various proteins, lipids and carbohydrates all serving different purposes. It is this structure which allows for the transport of nutrients, proteins and water. (Nature.com, 2014). Through extensive testing it has been found that small alcohols, specifically ethanol can increase the fluidity and membrane permeability of the phospholipid bilayer (Patra et al, 2005). The aim of the experiment was to test what effect that ethanol solution would have on the membrane

The purpose of this experiment was to identify given Unknown White Compound by conducting various test and learning how to use lab techniques. Tests that are used during this experiment were a flame test, ion test, pH test, and conductivity test. The results drawn from these tests confirmed the identity of the Unknown White Compound to be sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) because there were no presence of ions and sodium has a strong persistent orange color. The compound then will be synthesized with the compounds Na2CO3 and HC2H3O2 to find percent yield. Weighed 1 gram of NaC2H3O2 and mixed it with ionized water. Boiled 12 mL of 1.0M Acetic Acid added into a beaker containing the sodium carbonate on a hot plate until all the liquid is evaporated

1. What type of macroscopic evidence for chemical change did you observe during this experiment? Give at least three different examples.

The experiment that was done was to figure out “Does the amount of calcium chloride affect the temperature of water?” For the procedure, the experiment asked to record the initial temperature of 75 mL of water. The first trial said to add zero scoops of calcium chloride and stir for two minutes to record the temperature. Once the first temperature was recorded, it must be written from the difference between the initial temperature and the new temperature. Next, it asked to add one scoop of calcium chloride and stir for two minutes and record. Lastly, it told us to repeat the same steps until we had three calcium chloride scoops in the beaker and repeat for two more trials for accurate results. To sum up the experiment, it said to record the average change in temperatures to the class averages to graph a bar graph comparing both of the averages. That’s the procedure on how to conduct the experiment correctly.

The purpose of this lab was to determine which of the following substances: wax, sugar, and salt, are an ionic compound and which are a covalent compound. In order to accurately digest the experiments results, research of definitions of each relating led to the following information: ionic compounds are positive and negatively charged ions that experience attraction to each other and pull together in a cluster of ionic bonds; they are the strongest compound, are separated in high temperatures, and can be separated by polar water molecules. A covalent compound forms when two or more nonmetal atoms share valence electrons; covalent compounds are also

First, we set up the equation xZn(s) + yHCl(aq) → ZnxCly (s) + y/2H2(g) . We knew the empirical formula for zinc chloride is ZnCl8. Based on the law of conservation of matter, we got the balanced equation:

The goal of the experiment is to examine how the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid and Sodium thiosulphate is affected by altering the concentrations. The concentration of Sodium thiosulfate will be altered by adding deionised water and decreasing the amount of Sodium thiosulphate. Once the Sodium thiosulphate has been tested several times. The effect of concentration on the rate of reaction can be examined in this experiment.
