Experiment 1
Chemistry 111
September 3,2014
Ashley Mattox

Abstract: The purposes of this lab is to observe the reactions of some common chemicals contained in consumer products and observe the macroscopic changes these chemicals undergo.
Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to be able to interpret underlying macroscopic changes in terms of the behavior of atoms and molecules and also to learn how to separate mixtures into their component substances by solubility.
Procedures/Materials Needed:
1 Toothpicks
1 Sheet of white and dark paper
1 Paper towel
1 Distilled water
1 Small amounts of household cleaning products
1 Goggle-safety
1 Well-Plate-24
1 Well-Plate-96
1 Pipet, Empty Short Stem
1 Aqueous Ammonia, 1M -1mL
1 Bromthymol Blue, 0.04% - 2 mL in Pipet
1 Copper (II) Sulfate, 0.2 M – 2 mL in Pipet
1 FDC Blue Dye #-1.0.1% - 2 mL in Pipet
1 Hydrochloric Acid, 1.0M-1 mL
1 Lead (II) Nitrate, 0.2 M- 2 mL in Pipet
1 PhenolphthaleinSolution1%1mL
1 Potassium Iodide, 0.1 M-2 mL in Pipet
1 Silver Nitrate, 0.1 N – 2 mL in white Dropper Bottle
1 Sodium Bicarbonate, 1 M – 2 mL in Pipet
1 Sodium Hydroxide, 1 M – 1 mL
1 Sodium Hypochlorite, 1% - 2 mL in Pipet
1 Starch Solution, 1% Stabilized - 2 mL in Pipet

1. For the following combinations of chemicals and using a different well of the 96-well plate for each combination, place 2 pipet drops of the first in one well and add 2 drops of the second chemical. Next observe the mixtures against the white and dark backgrounds by slipping white and black paper underneath the well plate. For each reaction record the well number of the mixture and your observations.
a. Sodium Bicarbonate and Hydrochloric Acid
b. Hydrochloric Acid and Bromothymol Blue
c. Ammonia and Bromothymol Blue
d. Hydrochloric Acid and Blue Dye
e. Blue Dye and Sodium Hypochlorite
f. Potassium Iodide and Lead Nitrate
g. Sodium Hydroxide and Phenolphthalein
h.

    The experiment was very helpful in learning how the chemicals do react with each other. Some chemicals change colors, some chemicals remain the same color, but bubble or precipitate, while others might no have any apparent physical change at all. All chemicals react differently to each other in different situations, lighting, temperatures and surroundings. Learning about these different chemicals was very intriguing to me and a fun experiment to do as…

    Purpose: In this lab, I will observe macroscopic changes that occur when mixing together certain chemicals and household cleaners. The mixing of the chemicals provided with each other and with acid/base indicators demonstrates how matter can change, and how chemistry can be seen with the naked eye. By mixing household cleaners with an acid/base indicator I hope to demonstrate how these changes can be related to everyday life.…
