OF MAGNESIUM LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine the atomic weight of magnesium by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas evolved when hydrochloric acid reacted with magnesium. In order to measure the atomic weight I needed to measure the amount of the hydrogen gas that was evolved in reaction to the acid of the magnesium. The reaction used was: Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + Mg2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq). The major findings of this experiment were that there was a chemical reaction between hydrochloric

Chemical Reactions Lab Synthesis Reactions: Synthesis reactions occur when two elements or compounds combine to create one single compound. The general equation of synthesis reactions is: A+B→AB. The following are the complete balanced equations for the five synthesis reactions performed in the lab. Reaction 1: Reaction 2: Reaction 3: Reaction 4: Reaction 5: The reaction of CO2 and water is a prime example of a synthesis reaction. This is a synthesis reaction because it follows the general

The Sequence of Chemical Reactions Drew Selfridge Dave Allen‚ Lab partner Instructor Yang February 11‚ 1997 INTRODUCTION This experiment was to recover the most amount of copper after it is subjected to a sequence of reactions. The copper is originally in solid form‚ but the reactions will turn it into free Cu+2 ions floating in solution. The ions will then be regrouped to form solid copper once again. During this process‚ however‚ some of the Cu+2 ions may be lost. The copper will subjected

the value of the sum for Reaction 1 and Reaction 2’s change in temperature‚ compared to Reaction 3’s change in temperature. Reaction 1 was the dissolution of solid sodium hydroxide in water with a ΔH°rxn of -47047 J/mol‚ Reaction 2 was the neutralization of liquid sodium hydroxide with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -31289 J/mol and Reaction 3 was the dissolution and neutralization of solid NaOH with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -91000 J/mol. Consequently‚ the sum of Reaction 1 and Reaction 2 was -78336 J/mol‚ similar

Rachel Smith Design Lab: Kinetics Lab Introduction: ! Background Information- Effervescent tablets reduce stomach acid and help treat upset stomachs. The familiar fizzing you hear when you drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a glass of water is the result of a chemical reaction. After dropping the tablet into the water‚ the reaction causes the solid tablet to become dissolved and releases tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide. This reduces the time it takes for the medicine to work as it does not need to dissolve

Factors Affecting Reactions I. Factors Affecting Reactions [545] • Every chemical proceeds at its own rate. • By changing the conditions of the reaction‚ the rate of almost any reaction can be modified. • The rate of a chemical reaction depends upon: o Temperature o Concentration o Particle Size[SA] o Catalyst A. Temperature [545] • Increasing the temperature causes molecules to move faster‚ so there’s an increased chance of them colliding
