Practical 5: Properties of Compound

Experiment 1: Properties of A Compound and Its Parent Elements

Hypothesis
The hypothesis of this experiment is magnesium oxide can be synthesized by combining (burning) the magnesium with oxygen. The chemical and physical properties of each element (magnesium, oxygen, and magnesium oxide) might be different, from the state, color, electrical conductivity, and pH.
Aim
This experiment was performed to synthesize magnesium oxide by direct combination of magnesium and oxygen and to compare the properties of the elements (magnesium and oxygen) in their elemental state with the properties of the compound of these elements (magnesium oxide).
Introduction
When elements react to form compounds, their chemical and physical properties change. Their outer shells become complete (the octet rule) and the resultant compound is usually more stable. In this experiment, magnesium oxide will be synthesized by direct combination of magnesium with oxygen. The properties of magnesium, oxygen, and magnesium oxide will be tested and compared. The balanced chemical equation for this process is:
Mg + O2 2MgO
Materials:
* * Magnesium ribbon * H2O (water) * Tongs * 250 ml beaker * Test tubes * 10 ml measuring cylinder * Bunsen burner * Safety glasses * Stirring rod * Universal indicator (include pH color chart) * Electrolyte tester * Stopper

Procedure 1. Observed and record the state, color, and the electrical conductivity of the magnesium ribbon and record the result. 2. Put 1 cm of magnesium ribbon into a beaker that was added with 10 ml of water (H2O) and added some drops of Universal Indicator (UI) into the test tube. 3. Observe and record the color result and pH. 4. Added 10 ml of water and few drops of Universal Indicator (UI) into the test tube. 5. Stopper before shook the test tube to inflate the water (H2O) with the oxygen (O2). 6. Record the color result

    To accomplish this, three different methods were used. Titration was used to react NaOH with HCl to determine the amount of H+ left over after the reaction is complete. Crystallization was used to determine the amount of MgCl₂ made after the reaction is done. Both of these methods allowed us to calculate the amount of H+ reacting with the amount of Mg. The gas law method and the Ideal Gas Law was also used to determine the mole ratio of magnesium metal to hydrochloric acid by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas based on the pressure and temperature changes during the reaction. With the results from each procedure, graphs were constructed and the most accurate and precise method was discernible.…

    Add a small piece of zinc to a test tube containing 30 drops of 6 M HCl and record what happens. 9. Add a 1 inch piece of copper wire to a test tube containing 30 drops of 6 M HCl and record what happens. (Is copper an active metal or inactive metal with HCl? Look up an activity series of metals online to check). 10. IN THE HOOD, take a 2 inch piece of magnesium ribbon and hold it with a pair of crucible tongs. Light the magnesium metal with a Bunsen burner and record your observations. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE BURNING MAGNESIUM. LABORATORY REPORT Students will write an individual or group laboratory report at the discretion of the professor. Include the following information in your laboratory report, due at the beginning of the laboratory period next week. 1. Title. Title of the experiment, your name, your partner 's name and the date the laboratory was performed. 2. Introduction. This will be your opportunity to practice writing introductions. The introduction to the lab should be about chemical reactions in general (why they are important, examples of specific types of chemical reactions such as combustion, precipitation, redox, etc.), not about how to write and balance an equation. For complete guidelines, go to “Laboratory Reports” on the Chem 1061 website. 3. Experimental Details. A description of the procedure you followed to produce the experimental data and results. Alternatively, you may reference the procedure by citing the URL’s…

    Purpose: To observe and differentiate between the four different types of chemical reactions. Variables: The independent variables are the sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, magnesium,copper, copper (11) sulfate, silver nitrate, oxygen, lead(11) nitrate, sodium carbonate, copper (11) sulfate pentahydrate. The dependent variables are the chemical reactions that are being looked for. For example decomposition, synthesis, single displacement or double displacement of compounds or elements . Hypothesis: Part 1 : I believe that magnesium burning in oxygen will have synthesis reaction because the magnesium will react with the oxygen in the air forming MGO where before the two elements were separate but with added heat they have been able to become a new compound. Part 2: I believe that when the sodium chloride and silver nitrate are mixed a double displacement reaction will occur, making sodium nitrate and silver chloride because sodium is very reactive and therefore when the two elements react they will be switched with one another. Part 3: I believe that a double displacement reaction will occur when lead (11) nitrate and sodium carbonate mix because the sodium will pull the nitrate compound from the lead and the carbonate will be forced to bond with the lead. Part 4: I believe that a single displacement reaction will occur when copper (11) sulphate and magnesium are mixed because on the activity series magnesium is more reactive than copper and will therefore pull the sulphate away and bond with it. Part 5: I believe that a single displacement reaction will occur when silver nitrate and copper are mixed because on the activity series copper is more reactive than silver and will therefore pull the nitrate away and bond with it. Part 6: I believe that a decomposition reaction will occur when the pentahydrate is heated because the water will have evaporated leaving only copper sulphate without any drops of water in it.…
