Magnesium's Reaction Lab Report

328 Words2 Pages

1. Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal with an atomic number of 12 and an atomic mass of 24.305. It is part of the second group of elements on the periodic table located on the far left side of the periodic table. *CAUTION* Magnesium is a flammable metal! The equation for the reaction that is going to happen is:
Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid —> Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen
Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) --> MgCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g)

This reaction is an Oxidation-reduction. Magnesium has an ionic charge of +2 and loses the electrons as it reacts with the acid to become a positively charged Iron ion through the oxidation. At the same time hydrogen gains electrons to become a neutral molecule.

I think that Magnesium is going to have the fastest reaction

    The chemical elements are divided into two broad groups, the metals and the non-metals. In this experiment, you will examine some members of the metal group and identify similarities and differences in their physical and chemical properties. Metals are the elements that are found in the left of the periodic table with high electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals lose electrons to create positive ion charges. Metals have a unique shine, are prone to forming, have a high tendency to form cations, and combine with oxygen to give mostly basic oxides.

    This is because when the magnesium salt is heated, its electrons become excited, and jump to a higher energy level. They then fall back to their ground state, emitting energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation, which is not a part of the visible spectrum, and thus cannot be seen by the human eye. Therefore. a perceived color change of the flame is not expected. In actuality, when magnesium salt is put into the flame, it becomes a brilliant white color.

    After a while, a brownish color substance started to form on the three iron nails. We predicted that the brown substance on the nails is copper because the reaction of copper(II) chloride with iron is a single displacement reaction, so copper would be produced. 0.48 grams of iron was used in the reaction because 2.73 grams subtracted by 2.25 grams is 0.48 grams. The 0.48 grams of iron had to be used in the reaction with copper(II) chloride in order to produce copper, according to the reaction equation: CuCl2+FeFeCl2+Cu. 0.52 grams of copper was produced after pouring out the copper(II) chloride solution and the three iron

    The reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Carbonate led to the formation of gaseous Carbon Dioxide, aqueous water, and aqueous solution of Sodium Chloride as a result of all compounds containing alkali metals solubility. Lastly, Copper Sulfate and Sodium Carbonate reaction produced an aqueous sodium sulfate solution and a solid precipitate of Copper (II) Sulfite because of all alkali metals and sulfates ability to be soluble and the rule that any compound containing CO₃ is insoluble. In the end, the hypothesis that if we react mystery chemicals with one another, we will be able to identify the reactants and products, create balanced equations, and observe properties because of our prior knowledge learned throughout the course of the unit and using the known chemical reaction was accepted by the data

    The question is, how does a physical or chemical change affect the mass of a substance within a closed system? To respond to this question, my group did a lab to determine whether or not the mass would change or not. Our lab was to have a plastic bag containing baking soda, then add a cup of vinegar and a block of clay to the mix. We made sure to weight every element separately and then add them up for our total mass of 31 grams before the reaction. During the reaction, as soon as the vinegar was poured in there was a gas produced, bubbles.

    Moving one step forward, the remaining choices are Manganese, Aluminum, Lead, Zinc, Tin, Nickel, Cadmium, and Chromium. At this point, the density can be used to classify since a few of the choices have been removed. Approximately at 25 degrees Celsius, Manganese has a density of 7.44, Aluminum with 2.70, Lead is at 11.35, 7.13 for Zinc, 7.31 for Tin, 8.91 for Nickel, 8.65 for Cadmium, and 7.19 for Chromium, where all of the densities have a unit of g/cm3. Based on information from the experiment sheet, it is affirmed that the calculated density of the unknown metal should be accurate to about 0.1%, although eliminating options based on this would not be reasonable, as lab data is not necessarily consistent every time. On top of density, logic and reasoning can also be used.

    Explain why the reaction between sodium sulphate and silver nitrate did not occur even though sodium sulphate is insoluble in the most part? The reaction did not occur because the solution was mixed with 0.1M of silver nitrate and 0.1M of silver nitrate is not strong enough for the reaction to occur. If silver nitrate contained more than 0.1 mole, the reaction would have occurred because silver sulphate is insoluble and is a solid. Why is it needed for barium nitrate and ammonium sulphate to dissolve into water separately first before mixing the two together?
