Physical and Chemical Properties
Name: Tom Flannigan

Title: Physical and Chemical Properties

Purpose: To investigate the chemical properties of pure chemical substances. To investigate the physical properties of pure chemical substances.
Procedure: For this lab we used four test tubes and poured equal amounts of a substance in each test tube. We then observed the color and odor. We then heated the substance and recorded the observation. The next tube we added cold water and observed the effects, then we heated it and observed the effects. Drops from that test tube were then placed on a red and blue litmus paper and observations were recorder. Finally, in the third and fourth test tubes we added HCL and in the other NaOH and observed the effects.

    Acid Rain Lab Report

    For the two partners recording data with the room temperature liquids, the materials where collected first. Two of the graduated cylinders where filled with 10 mL of room temperature water each. The pH and temperature was takes of all the liquids before the experiment progressed any further, One piece of chalk was crushed on a piece of paper than put into the room temperature water. At the same time a whole piece of chalk was put into the second cylinder. Both where observed for three minutes. Observations made where to be written down in the observation and data table in the packet. And foam produced from the reaction of the whole or crushed chalk was measured in centimeters or millimeters than recorded on the chart. The pH was than recorded again. Partners than preformed the same procedure for the room temperature vinegar as done before with the water. The partners gathered two new cylinders and new pieces of chalk they then repeated the steps but with new materials. Part A was a replication of part B but with warm liquids. This data was collected from lab partners after completed.…

    Chemical Properties

    Properties and changes are used to describe matter. A property is a trait of matter, when that sample of matter is in a fixed state. There are two different types of properties: physical properties and chemical properties. A change is something that alters the properties of a substance. There are two types of changes: chemical changes and physical changes.…

    Chemicals and Properties

    For this laboratory experiment I followed the detailed procedures outline in the Labpaq manual by P. Jeschofnig, LP-0125-CK-01. (Jeschofnig, Peter., Ph.D., "Physical and Chemical Properties." General College Chemistry. Englewood, CO: Hands on Lab Inc., 0. 65-71. Print.) First, I followed all safety measures as outlined therein. After assembling all the necessary supplies and equipment needed to conduct this experiment, I began the lab experiment by identifying physical properties : the color and odor for each substances (a, b, c, d, e, f & g) by observing and smelling each substance then notating my findings. (See excel worksheet which identifies each substance tested in this experiment.) I then added each chemical a, b, c, d, e, f & g separately to a test tube and tested the effect of heat by holding it over a fire source. I observed to see if there was any change in color, conduction of heat or gas. Second, I added each chemical separately a, b, c, d, e, f, g to a test tube and notated the effect of cold water. Third, I added water to each chemical separately a, b, c, d, e, f, g to a test tube and notated the effect of hot water by holding it over a fire source until a boiling point was reached. I noted any observations observed such as bubbling, heat, conduction, gas etc. Fourth, after allowing the solution to cool down from the prior step, I tested the pH of each chemical using red…

    Stoichiometry Essay

    Test tubes were cleaned and dried. To both tubes, a small amount of MnO2 was added. Test tube one was held over a Bunsen burner for 1-2 minutes, to remove moisture, at a 45-degree angle. As that tube cooled, the other tube, test tube 2, was heated in the same manner. After heating the tubes, the weights were recognized as the initial weight. This was inserted into data table 1. Then one gram of KClO3 was added to Test Tube #1, the tube was then swirled to mix the chemicals together. The tube was then weighed, and the weight was recorded in Data Table #1. Then Test Tube #1 was fastened to a ring stand, tilted at a 45-degree angle, and heated over the Bunsen burner for 15 minutes until all of the purple coloring was eliminated. After, approximately one gram of an unknown substance was added to Test Tube #2, the tube was weighed and recorded in Data Table #2. After each heating, for a total of three heating’s each tube, the weights must be taken in order to determine the of O2 gas released. Test Tube #2 was heated in the same manner as Test Tube #1. As Test Tube #2 cooled, Test Tube #1 was reweighed and reheated for 4-5 minutes, and as Test Tube #1 cooled, Test Tube #2 was reweighed and reheated. This process was repeated until both tubes were reheated and reweighed 3 times. A key component within the experiment was…

    Physical properties of organic compound

    Boiling point is the exact temperature that the state of compound change from liquid to gas, which need to break the intermolecular forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point. Since straight chain alkane, alkene and alkyne only experience dispersion forces, the compound with more carbons have higher boiling point as more carbons contribute more forces. Branched chain alkanes have lower boiling point than the straight chain alkanes because the branched alkane have a shorter chain length, which makes it pack not as close as straight alkane.…
