magnesium ribbon was placed in covered crucible and was heated in order for it to react with Oxygen presented in air and in water provided. The result showed that Magnesium oxide formed through chemical reaction was made up of 60.19% magnesium and 39.81% oxygen‚ which is approximate proportion of both particles in every Magnesium oxide compound. From this lab it can be concluded that the law of definite proportion stating that the elements in a pure compound combine in definite proportion to each other

Silver Mirror Experiment Background: This experiment was first conducted by Bernhard Tollens‚ it is used to determine whether a carbonyl containing compound is an aldehyde or a ketone. An aldehyde is a compound containing a formyl group (CHO).The experiment involves diamminesilver complex and a chemical reagent (also known as “Tollens’ reagent”) which in this case is glucose. In a successful experiment a reflective silver metal should precipitate‚ with characteristics identical to that of a mirror’

INVESTIGATION #2 DETERMINATION OF THE WATER OF CRYSTALLISATION April 4‚ 2012 OBJECTIVE: Chemical compounds that contain discrete water molecules as part of their crystalline structure are called hydrates. Hydrates occur quite commonly among chemical substances‚ especially among ionic substances. More often than not‚ such compounds are either prepared in‚ or are recrystallized from‚ aqueous solutions. Hydrates exist for ionic compounds most commonly‚ but hydrates of polar and non polar covalent molecules

Test tube C did not mix well with the silver nitrate. The Iodine stayed at the bottom while the silver nitrate collected at the top. Test tube D did absolutely nothing‚ but get a little cloudy 5. Conclusion: The purpose of this lab was to see how silver nitrate affects the reactive Halogens and to see if it formed a precipitate. Most results were the same where a precipitate formed. Some took longer than others to form where as others had no effect to the silver nitrate. Two ways to improve the lab
