Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations Q.1. Why should magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air ? Ans: Magnesium ribbon is a very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide being a stable compound prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium is cleaned before burning in air to remove this layer so that the metal can be exposed to air properly. Q.2. Write the balanced

experiment‚ we were trying to see whether copper‚ after a chain of chemical reactions‚ will revert back to its elemental form. Procedure: First‚ I added nitric acid with copper in a beaker‚ which turned into a copper nitrate‚ a blue-green solution. Afterwards‚ I added sodium hydroxide‚ and my solution colored to a dark blue solution called copper hydroxide. I heated the solution to evaporate the water and I got a brownish-blackish solid called copper oxide. Once the solid appeared‚ I poured

Chemistry of Garlic - Key Compounds in Garlic Although garlic has been traditionally used for over 5‚000 years‚ most scientific significance has just been developed in the past 50 years. The key compounds in garlic and its preparations include the following phytochemicals. Sulfur-containing compounds Recently‚ researchers have been focusing on the benefits of a variety of sulfur-containing compounds in garlic instead of allicin. These are classified as oil- and water-soluble compounds. Oil-soluble

Alloy - An alloy is a substance made by melting two or more elements together‚ at least one of them a metal. An Example: Examples of alloys include brass‚ bronze‚ 14k gold‚ and sterling silver. covalent bond - A covalent bond is a chemical link between two atoms in which electrons are shared between them. An Example: There is covalent between the oxygen and each hydrogen in (H 2 O). Each of the bonds contains two electrons - one from a hydrogen atom and one from the oxygen atom. Both atoms

When you mix copper‚ silver‚ and nitrate together‚ you will end up with silver nitrate solution will turn blue (it has become copper nitrate). On the piece of copper‚ there would be a coating of solid silver. If a chemical reaction is going to be observed when chemicals are mixed‚ heated or any other means of altering the substance‚ then we will be able to predict the products formed. If it is observed that in the original versus the changed substance no new substances are formed‚ the change is reversible

Measurements and Error Analysis‚ #1‚ Chris Baca Discussion of differences The purpose of this experiment is to understand why we have variances in measurements and how to reduce the variances. When taking a measurement there are multiple factors that affect its value. The more the measurement is taken the measurements average is closer to the actual value. Other factors include the instruments calibration‚ cleanliness of the inside of the measuring arms and human error in reading the measurements

The discovery of copper does not have an exact date. Copper is said to be a prehistoric element. This element was said to be first discovered around 8000BC. The ancient civilizations started to take the copper out of the ore they found around 4000BC. This is when copper started to be put to good use. Early civilizations discovered that copper is malleable and is sharp. They realized they could make copper into tools and weapons. This was easier than the stone that they were originally using. This
