Introduction:
This experiment seeks to explore different chemical reactions conducted in the lab. A cation is defined as positively charged ions, which are K+ and Pb2+ in this experiment, and an anion is termed as negatively charged ions, which are CrO4 2- and NO3 2-. The major objective of this lab experiment was to examine the reaction between cations and anions, as well as observing, and documenting the chemical reactions. We will be demonstrating the reaction between a solution of Lead Nitrate with a chemical formula of PbNO3 2, and a Potassium Chromate solution with a chemical formula of K2CrO4. The end result from mixing the two solutions should have a combined set of either the Pb2+ or K+ cation and likewise with the NO3 2- or CrO4 2- anion in its chemical formula. This experiment will demonstrate the chemical reaction between the cations and anions with an expected end result of a solid substance, which validates that a chemical reaction occurred.
Procedure:
The following procedures and materials listed are what you will need in order to conduct the experiments end lab results. Equipment needed to perform this experiment is a 50 ml test tube, 100 ml beaker, 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, Buchner …show more content…
After I filtered and transferred the remaining substance containing the yellow precipitate into the 50ml test tube, I used the scale in order to determine the weight, which resulted with a weight of 16.160 g. The results were clearly that mixing the two soluble solutions together created a chemical reaction and formed a yellow precipitate. This indicates that one of cations and one of the anions produce a compound that is not soluble in water since it left behind a solid
