of steel wool into the test tube and measured the temperature again. We stored the test tubes on the test tube rack to observe the next day. A chemical reaction did occur in the lab. There were a color change and an odor change that was observed on Day 2 of the lab. On Day 1‚ the liquid was clear and the smell was very strong. On Day 2 of the lab‚ most of the liquid was gone but the color was a muddy color and the smell got milder‚ it wasn’t as strong as Day 1. Not only was there a color and odor

Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate constants‚ k1‚ for the methyl acetate hydrolysis reaction at 25 °C and 35 °C‚ as well as the overall activation energy of the reaction. Methods Methyl acetate was placed in an HCl solution‚ in which it reacts with water to form acetic acid over time. At each time interval‚ an aliquot of the mixture was removed for titration against NaOH to determine the concentration of the acetic acid produced. From the amount of acetic acid produced

Enzymes are proteins or nucleic acids that catalyze reactions. They are able to speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. Each kind of enzyme has a specific shape that matches its substrate so it can bind to its active site. Enzymes convert their substrates into a product. Enzyme activity are affected by factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and time. If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat‚ it will become denatured‚ that is‚ to become deformed and lose its original shape which

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

Vitamin C by Redox Titration with Iodine Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an antioxidant that is essential for human nutrition. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to a disease called scurvy‚ which is characterized by abnormalities in the bones and teeth. Many fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C‚ but cooking destroys the vitamin‚ so raw citrus fruits and their juices are the main source of ascorbic acid for most people. One way to determine the amount of vitamin C in food is to use a redox titration. The

A Penny Saved Is Two Pennies Wasted The United States of America‚ despite its relatively short life‚ is immersed in tradition. While some of these traditions are well-known and apparent‚ others are less obvious. The penny‚ our little copper one-cent piece littering change jars from coast to coast‚ is a tradition that‚ while seemingly harmless‚ is a great burden to our country. Due to the lost profits in the creation of today’s one-cent piece and using the models of previous successful countries

Purpose: The purpose of the ‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister

The purpose of this lab was to use a calorimeter to learn when energy is being released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. My lab partner and I had to determine the heat exchanged when solid magnesium hydroxide is mixed with solid citric acid‚ using a coffee cup calorimeter. Given that citric acid is soluble in water is the property that makes this reaction possible. The first law of thermodynamics and Hess’s law are also present within this experiment. Knowing the difference between endothermic

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
