Introduction: In a chemical change, the identities of substances change and new substances form. In an equation the substances on the left are the reactants. The substances on the right are the products. In this experiment the objectives are to observe evidence that a chemical change has taken place. Infer from observations that a new substance has been formed. Identify and record observations that show energy is involved in chemical change observe the color, solubility of some substances and describe reactions by writing word equations.
Hypothesis: I hypothesize that a chemical reaction has occurred when there is a change in temperature, color. But also when there are bubbles and the evolution of gas.
Materials: The materials that were used were Aluminum wire(12 cm), beaker (100 mL), hot plate, copper(II) nitrate (1.0 M), glass stirring rod, gloves, HCl (1.0 M), lab apron , lab marker, NaOH (1.0 M), ruler, safety goggles, test tube (13 mm x 100mm) and test tube rack.
Procedure: Safety goggles, gloves, and lab apron were put on. (Only the ones who were doing the experiment) 50mL of water was placed in the 100mL beaker and heated until boiled. And the boiled water will be used as the water bath. The lab marker was used to make 3 marks (1 cm apart). 1.0 M copper (II) nitrate was added to the first mark on the test tube. 1.0 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added up to the second mark on the test tube. The solutions were mixed with the stirring rod. The test tube was put into the water bath. The burner was turned off and the test tube was cooled. 1.0 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was added to the third mark on the test tube and was mixed. The 12 cm piece of aluminum was placed in the test tube. The wire was removed from the test tube. Lab station and equipment were cleaned.
Observations: I observed that color change occurred and turned blue when Copper (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide were stirred. Also precipitate was formed. When the test tube was

    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.

    Objectives Observe and classify several chemical and physical changes. Give evidence for the occurrence of a chemical reaction. Write a balanced equation for a chemical reaction. Identify a reaction as a combination, decomposition, replacement, or combustion reaction. Background Physical properties can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance. Common physical properties that can be measured without changing the chemical composition are melting point, boiling point, solubility and density. Taste and odor are usually considered to be physical properties although they depend on the physiology of the person making the observations. Physical changes do not cause a change…

    This aim of this experiment was to determine whether or not a chemical reaction occurred after the mixing of various chemicals. The evolution of a gas, the formation of precipitation, and the change of temperature or color are all indicative of a chemical reaction. It was assumed that a reaction did not take place if the mixture of chemicals exhibited none of these characteristics. Several precipitation, complex-ion formation, redox, and acid-base reactions were performed.…

    A chemical change is when a new substance forms. A chemical change has happened when there is a change in colour, when gas is smelt or when seeing bubbles, seeing a new solid, or when observing that energy is produced or absorbed in the form of heat and light. An example of a chemical change is when bread is turned into toast. This is a chemical change because the process cannot be reversed, so toast cannot be turned back into bread.…
