John Abarshi Mr Meinsma Chemistry December 14‚ 2010 Conductivity of Ionic solutions Introduction This lab report is about the conductivity of ionic solutions. In class we have been discussing wether all ionic solutions conduct equally well. If an solvent solution conducts electricity‚ then it must contain ions. So measuring the conductance of solutions can tell you whether the solutes in the solution are dissociated into ions. (Conductivity) Any type of solution‚ even ionic solutions‚ provide

Chemistry is one branch of knowledge that grew from human curiosity about the world and has played a central role in the development of the modern world. Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter‚ the stuff things are made of‚ and the changes that matter undergoes. Now‚ we may not think chemistry plays such a big role in our life but it perhaps more than any other branch of science has bettered our lives. Almost anything we touch today has benefited from chemical technology‚ and there for

Investigatory Project Chapter 1: Introduction Background of the Study Filipinos suffer from facial problems greatly due to Philippines’ tropic weather. The air‚ which is humid‚ carrying vapor from surrounding bodies of water‚ is one of the major causes of skin problems like allergies‚ bungang-araw‚ itchiness‚ also said to be causing freckles and pimples‚ and the list goes on. Test results suggest that every 5 out of 11 teenagers acquire freckles. Statistics also shows that 85% of teenagers have

Chem 3418 Organic Chemistry Laboratory I Acid Base Review Definition In general‚ an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+) and a base is a substance that can accept a proton. Any proton in an organic molecule can potentially be donated. The most acidic proton in a molecule would be donated first. Any lone pair in an organic molecule can act as the proton acceptor. An acid (HA) reacts with a base (in this case H2O) to form the conjugate base of the acid (A-) and the conjugate acid of the

Module 16 Notes Reduction/Oxidation Reactions • Oxidation number: The charge that an atom in a molecule would develop if the most electronegative atoms in the molecule took the shared electrons from the less electronegative atoms. • Oxidation numbers are not real; they are only based on assumptions. They are useful bookkeeping tools though‚ and can help us keep track of electrons during a reaction. • The sum of all oxidation numbers in a molecule must equal the charge of that molecule. • Rules

Percent Composition Report Hypothesis : By using seperation techniques properly‚ the 3 substance such as; water‚ sand‚ and salt can be seperated and the percent composition of each substance. Which will then be calculated theoritically and after comparison with the actual result‚ the accuracy of the 2 result can be found. Aim : The aim of this experiment is to compare the gravimetric result of the original mixture and the separated substance. The other objective is to calculate each percent
