Experiment 2

Title: Observations of Chemical Changes
Purpose: To observe some properties of chemical reactions and associate them with everyday household cleaning products.
Procedure: In order to complete this experiment, I had to set up and organize my lab table. I used my 24-well plate, my 96-well plate, and the first experiment bag which included all of the necessary chemicals. I also had to gather 3 household cleaning products and a pipet in order to test them as well. The procedure involved was putting 2 drops of one chemical in the 96-well plate, and then adding 2 drops of a second chemical in the same well. I observed the reaction and recorded what change, if any, took place after looking at them against a white background and a black background. I then proceeded on to the next two chemicals, until all chemicals had been tested.
Data Table 1: Chemicals Provided in Lab Kit.
Well # Chemicals Reaction
A-1 NaHCO3 and HCl-C02 Remained clear, very bubbly, almost as if forming a gas, which it was. Carbon Dioxide.
B-1 HCl and BTB The results of adding the blue indicator was a color change. It turned orange, indicating acidity.
C-1 NH3 and BTB It remained blue, indicating a base.
D-1 HCl and blue dye The mixture turned green.
E-1 Blue dye and NaOCl Blue at first, then when HCL was added to the mix, it turned green.
F-1 Kl and Pb(NO3)2 Very yellow and dense looking.
G-1 NaOH and phenolphthalein Reaction was a purplish/pink color
H-1 HCl and phenolphthalein Nothing happened, no reaction, remained colorless
A-2 NaOH and AgNO3¬ Muddy brown in color, almost grit-like appearance
B-2 AgNO3¬ and NH3 Nothing seemed to happen, no reaction, but when placed on a paper towel and exposed to sunlight, the paper turned rust colored, with some silvery areas. The paper towel was also extremely stiff.
C-3 NH3 and CuSo4 Reaction was cloudy blue in color
