    Unknown White Compound 643p Lab Report

    The identity of the unknown solid white compound is determined and verified through a series of tests which uncover physical and chemical properties necessary for identification. A new sample of the same compound is then created to further prove the accuracy of the identification. The compound must be identified in order to be used. For example, KCl is used in medicine, scientific applications, and food processing. It also tastes a lot like sodium chloride, and is the main ingredient in dietary salt substitutes.1 The other possible compounds substance 634p could be have very different properties and uses though they look similar. Almost all…

    The solution then gets foggy/cloudy and white snowlike precipitate is floating within the solution. Heat is added along with a stir bar. The stir bar starts stirring at minute 7. It begins to dissolve the white powder as it spins. At minute 26 the solution becomes clear with barely any flakes left. Sulfuric acid is then added and white flakes are formed. More acid is added until the pH paper turns red. The round bottom is filled with white precipitate. The precipitate is put onto a hirsh funnel that uses vacuum filtration to isolate the precipitate. The product is then added to a beaker with D.I water and heated. It’s put through the hirsh funnel . 3.68 grams of salicylic acid is recovered. The melting point is tested to compare to a perfect sample. The melting point is 146C0. The product is dried and added to a beaker with D.I. water and 10mL of acetic anhydride and 20 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid. This product is chilled to produce crystals. Its then filtered using a hirsh filter using vacuum filtration. Recrystallized and filtered one last time. The product is now acetylsalicylic acid…

    Discovering the Mystery of Eleven Test Tubes

    Eleven mystery test tubes labeled from K-1 to K-11 contained: 6M H2SO4, 6M NH3, 6M HCl, 6M NaOH, 1M NaCl, 1M Fe(NO3)3, 1M NiSO4, 1M AgNO3, 1M KSCN, 1M Ba(NO3)2, 1M Cu(NO3)2 respectively. The contents of the test tubes were determined by chemical experiments. Solution K-1 contained NiSO4 because when solution K-9, ammonia which was identified by its pungent odor, was added, an inky dark blue color was made. Iron (Fe (NO3)3) was determined to be in test tube K-2. KSCN was found in test tube K-11 since Fe (NO3)3 and KSCN makes a bloody color when mixed together. Flame tests were conducted in which K-8 burned green which identifies Cu(NO3)2, and the solution from test K-10 burned yellow orange which indicates NaCl. Solution from test tube K-5 turned red litmus paper to blue which indicates a strong base (NaOH). Solutions in test tubes K-4 and K-6 are both strong acids which turned blue litmus paper to blue. Silver nitrate (K-7) produces precipitate with both acids and Barium nitrate can only produce precipitate with H2SO4 and it remains clear in HCl, K-3 precipitated with K-4 but did nothing with K-6, which proves that K-4 is H2SO4 and K-6 is HCl.…

    Procedure: In this lab we mixed many different substances to see if they formed a double replacement reaction. We also looked for precipitants that were formed from the mixing of the different substances. We used barium nitrate, potassium hydroxide, sodium sulfate, magnesium nitrate, aluminum sulfate, and iron (III) chloride in set one. In set two we used potassium chloride, sodium hydroxide, magnesium nitrate, barium chloride, sodium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate. For each set, we mixed two drops of one compound in five wells of a spot plate. We then added two drops of all the other substances to the compound. We repeated this procedure for set two. If a precipitant formed from any solution, we recorded the color on our data table. If no precipitant formed, we recorded NR. After mixing and recording all the compounds we rinsed to spot plate thoroughly with water.…

    10 Unknowns Chem II

    I found solutions #2 to be H2SO4. While doing precipitate reactions for solution #2, I found that it fizzed with two other solutions; #6 and #8. This led me to believe that since there were two carbonates in our list of solutions, solutions 6 and 8 were the carbonate solutions. This was also one of the last three solutions that I found the name of. H2SO4 is a strong base, and a PH test revealed that it had a very low PH of 1. Also already knowing that solution 6 was NaHCO3 and solution 8 was Na2CO3, I was also able to confirm solution 2 was NaOH by the following reactions:…

    Identification of an Unknown Organic Acid

    Identification of an Unknown Organic Acid

    Identifying this organic acid was an extensive task that involved several different experiments. Firstly, the melting point had to be determined. Since melting point can be determined to an almost exact degree, finding a close melting point of the specific unknown can accurately point to the identification of the acid. In this case the best melting point range was 207-209 degrees Celsius. Melting point, while very helpful in identifying an unknown organic acid, is simply not enough. Next, a series of titration experiments had to be done. In the first series, a titration is completed of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with KHP. Three reps were completed and the resulting data led to the finding of the molarity of the sodium hydroxide. The second part of the titration series involved titrating the same prepared sodium hydroxide solution with Hydrochloric Acid (HCL). This is how the molarity of the HCL was determined. The last part to the titration series was necessary to determine the equivalent weight of the acid. The equivalent weight for this unknown was calculated to be ~197 g/mol H+ Once these titration series experiments were complete, enough data is accumulated to complete a computer search. Based on the results of the computer search the next experiment involved conducting at least one trial of pKa and, since the results contained acids that had N,Cl,Br, or S, chemical testing by sodium fusion had to completed. With all of this information combined, it was then simple to correctly identify the organic acid unknown.…

    Double Displacement Reactions

    Safety goggles were put on, hair was tied back and sleeves were rolled up. One cm of CuSO4·5H20 was added to a cleaned dried test tube. The test tube was heated until no furthered changes were observed. All observations were recorded then the substance was then disposed of in the waste container provided. 1/3 of a test tube was filled with Na2SO4 solution. An eye dropper filled with BaCl2 was added to the test tube. All observations were recorder. A 3 cm long trip of Magnesium ribbon was held above a flame of a Bunsen burner. The result of the flame should not be directly looked at. All observations were recorded. A test tube was filled 1/3 of dilute H2SO4. A sanded mossy piece of zinc mental was added to the acid and the test tube was covered. A flaming splint was brought to the mouth of the test tube. All observations were recorded. A sanded iron nail was added to a test tube and covered with CuSO4 solution. The test tube was left for several minutes. The nail was then removed and observations were recorded. An eyedropper full of lead(II) nitrate was added to a test tube combined with an eyedropper full of potassium iodide. The reaction was left for serval minutes before observations were recorded. The substance was then disposed of in the waste container provided. Manganese (V) oxide was added to a test tube with hydrogen peroxide and the test tube was then covered. A glowing splint test was then inserted into the test tube. All observations were then recorded. Metals were thrown in the trash while most solution were poured down the drain…
