H 204 – Introduction to Chemical Practice Experiment # 1– Qualitative Analysis of Cations Rachel Sorrells Gretchen Diede TA: Kunal Punjabi February 16‚ 2017 RESULTS & DISCUSSION The purpose of this experiment was to utilize two different methods of qualitative analysis to determine the identity of two unknown cations in an unknown solution. The experiment required knowledge of solubility rules and demonstration of such in the laboratory setting for the first method of qualitative analysis. The

Chapter 9 Recommended Methods for Determining Soil Cation Exchange Capacity Donald S. Ross and Quirine Ketterings The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of a soil is a measure of the quantity of negatively charged sites on soil surfaces that can retain positively charged ions (cations) such as calcium (Ca2+)‚ magnesium (Mg2+)‚ and potassium (K+)‚ by electrostatic forces. Cations retained electrostatically are easily exchangeable with cations in the soil solution so a soil with a higher CEC has

In order to determine the acidity of certain substances‚ we used moist and dry pH paper (litmus tests)‚ and observed the results. First we used dry pH paper to test the acidity of household ammonia‚ and it turned yellow. According to the legend‚ this indicates a weak acid. This is‚ however‚ not accurate as the vapor of the household ammonia wasn’t able to react as strongly with the pH paper since it was dry. Then‚ we used moist DI water pH paper with the same substance‚ household ammonia‚ and it

TITLE: Qualitative Analysis Of Cations: Ca2+‚ Ba2+‚ Mg2+‚ Zn2+ and Al3+ OBJECTIVE: • To identify the cations in known and unknown samples. • To construct a logical flow chart for identifying the components of a mixture of unknown cations. INTRODUCTION: In this experiment we will study about qualitative analysis of cations: Ca2+‚ Ba2+‚ Mg2+‚ Zn2+ and Al3+. Qualitative analysis is an analytical procedure in which the question ‘what is present?’ is answered. In a systematic qualitative analysis

Alkaline Phosphatase was isolated using various techniques. BCIP spot test was performed after the anion exchange chromatography was done and the fractions were collected. The picture of BCIP spot test of the 20 fractions can be seen in figure 1. The intensity of each spot was different from each other. The more intense color the spot was‚ the more concentrate the AP was. The fractions were chosen to combine together based on the intensity‚ which made the stage 4 enzyme. Different volumes in each

Lab #3 Separating Metal Cations by Paper Chromatography Introduction/Purpose: In chemistry‚ it is important to effectively analyze the components in a given mixture. In order to do so‚ chemists will analyze a mixture either qualitatively or quantitatively using different methods and equipment. Qualitative analyses are subjective‚ and only gather “non-numerical” data such as the color‚ appearance‚ and smell of the components. This data

Chemistry 266 Dominick Armstrong 10/10/2012 Acid-Base Titration Introduction Acid and bases are two important classes of compounds that react to form a salt and water. When mixing acids and bases a precise amount of the base must be added in order to reach the equivalence point. At this point‚ one reactant has been exactly consumed by the addition of the other reactant. When performing chemical reactions chemist use a process called titration to determine the equivalence point of the

Nomenclature for Ionic Compounds Ionic compounds consist of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions). The nomenclature‚ or naming‚ of ionic compounds is based on the names of the component ions. Here are the principal naming conventions for ionic compounds‚ along with examples to show how they are used: Roman NumeralsA Roman numeral in parentheses‚ followed by the name of the element‚ is used for elements that can form more than one positive ion. This is usually seen with metals. You

Investigating the Determining Characteristics of Cations and Anions Chem 111 Sec 560 Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to study the specific characteristics of cations and anions‚ and ultimately to be able to identify an unknown substance based on our studies and tests using the logic trees developed through the experiment. A logic tree is a graphical display of the findings from this lab which‚ through a series of yes/no questions‚ elimination

the generally insoluble phosphate anion. Potassium chloride‚ Iron nitrate‚ and potassium sulfate where the products which were soluble in water. With these products there was no evidence of a precipitate forming. 2. Based on the results from reactions A and B for the first group of reactions‚ the generally insoluble anion is phosphate. In all three reactions that occurred‚ when phosphate mixed with iron or calcium a precipitate formed. Iron and calcium cations followed the rule of phosphate. Nonetheless
