Discussion for Experiment 1 (Basic Laboratory Operations and Identification of a compound : Chemical Properties) In the first experiment‚ the precision of instrument was studied by measuring the mass of water for several times. The result shows that the mass measurement of the balance is precise since the masses of water in six trials are somewhat close. The reason that the masses of water in each trial are not identical may come from the high sensitivity of the balance that keep fluctuating due

The process of naming compounds allows chemists to communicate formulae in words rather than in chemical symbols. There are‚ however‚ a few rules about naming compounds which need to be known in order to write a formula in word form or translate a compound in word form into chemical symbols. Ionic compounds If the compound is ionic‚ then the name of the cation (usually metal) comes first‚ followed by the ’compound’ name of the anion. To find the compound name of an anion‚ replace the end of the

St.‚ Intramuros‚ Manila Melting Point and Boiling Point of Organic Compounds Group No. 5 Manacup‚ Cris Vincent L. Oblena‚ Adrian D. Ong‚ Joshua Jyro B.* *Leader ABSTRACT In compounds‚ two of the physical properties affected by the varying structures are melting point and boiling point. Through the use of the Thomas-Hoover Melting Point Apparatus or the micro method‚ the melting and boiling point of organic compounds are now determined. The aim of this experiment is to know the factors

There are thousands of compounds which have been discovered‚ and are yet to be discovered‚ with all these possible combinations it is necessary to provide order through a systematic naming system. This naming system‚ aside from organization also provides the reader with information about the given element. There are different kinds of compounds‚ ionic‚ covalent‚ and acidic and over all of this the atoms making up the compounds are either binary or polyatomic. The simplest compounds to name are binary

Cells are some of the smallest organisms around. All living things consist of cells‚ and yet they are invisible to the naked eye. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. Cells are made up of many different parts which allow them to function properly. All cells are separated from their surrounding by a cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also aids in the protection and support of the cell. A cell membrane

How do ionic compounds form? How do electrons change the shape of a molecule? These are just a couple of the questions that this paper will answer. How do ionic compounds form? Ionic compounds are formed by positive and negative ions. An ionic bond means that there are valence electrons being shared between the two molecules. This can cause the molecule to become negative or positively charged. An ionic compound is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and the

EXPERIMENT 6 – Empirical Formula of a Compound INTRODUCTION Chemical formulas indicate the composition of compounds. A formula that gives only the simplest ratio of the relative number of atoms in a compound is the empirical formula or simplest formula. The ratio usually consists of small whole numbers. We call a formula that gives the actual numbers of each type of atom in a compound the molecular formula. The numbers in a molecular formula will be whole number multiples of the numbers in an empirical

The purpose of the first part of the experiment was to produce a chemical compound which was the alum crystals by using aluminum‚ potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. After the compound was present‚ the purpose of the second part of the experiment was to make sure that the compound that was formed in the first half of the experiment was actually alum. Some of the experimental techniques that were used in this experiment was filtration using the Büchner funnel vacuum filtration‚ recrystallization

Tony Robbins introduces these chapters by continuing to talk about and develop in our minds the potential of compound interest. He gave some great examples that showcase how such a little amount of money can blossom into more money than you could have ever imagined. In the first chapter Tony Robbins really drive home the incredible value on committing to a percentage of money that you will set aside every time you receive a paycheck. He stressed the importance of setting this percentage aside
