Determining the Concentration of a Solution: Beer’s Law Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution by measuring absorbance. Introduction: A Colorimeter will be used to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution. The colorimeter sends blue light from the LED light source to pass through the solution and hit a photocell. A solution with a higher concentration will absorb more

This experiment was performed to demonstrate a cycle of chemical reactions involving copper. This lab will start with copper as a reactant in the first reaction through a series of five chemical forms of aqueous phase reactions and ending to calculate the percentage of recovered solid copper as a product in the last reaction of the experiment. The experiment resulted in a percent recovery from the cycle of copper reactions of an increase to 139%. . Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is

Grignard reaction Abstract: In this laboratory‚ triphenylmethanol was synthesised from reacting benzophenone and bromobenzene using Grignard reaction. As the reaction was to set up to produce a Grignard reagent and then recrystallize it to obtain pure sample. The percentage yield obtained was 55% and its melting point was 161 co which is within the literature value 160-163 co. In addition to that the IR spectroscopy confirmed the molecule structure to be triphenylmethanol. Introduction: The Grignard

Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to observe what happens when two ionic compounds are combined in a small area and to be able to record the type of precipitate that is formed. Background: An ionic compound is formed when ions “transfer‚” or lose or gain electrons. The ions in an ionic compound are held together by ionic bonds in a lattice shaped structured. They are packed tightly together to maximize the attraction between the ions. When two compounds are mixed together‚ they form a precipitate

The Effects of Varying pH on Enzyme Activity A lab was conducted to test different pH balances on an enzyme. Introduction: Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are three-dimensional structures that consist of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains form an active site (where a substrate will fit into). Enzyme molecules are folded into a very specific shape held together by the different forces of attraction

Lab #5 Chemical Reactions & Balancing Equations Objectives Observe and classify several chemical and physical changes. Give evidence for the occurrence of a chemical reaction. Write a balanced equation for a chemical reaction. Identify a reaction as a combination‚ decomposition‚ replacement‚ or combustion reaction. Background Physical properties can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the substance. Common physical properties that can be measured without changing the chemical

The effect of temperature on the reaction rate: As the temperature increases it provides more kinetic energy to the molecules allowing them to move faster and with more energy the molecules can overcome the activation energy barrier and therefore the reaction occurs faster. 5. Since the proposed mechanism is a SN1 reaction the reaction got faster as the polarity increased. This is because SN1 reactions work best with polar protic solvents as they stabilize the carbocation. Therefore‚ as seen

Aim During this experiment I will be investigating if heating limestone and changing the concentration of the acid will affect the rate of reaction. Preliminary work Before doing our main experiment‚ we will have to conduct another experiment‚ to see what concentration of acid we will have to use. We done this using 0.1M‚ 0.5M and 1M of Hydrochloric acid‚ and 0.1g of powdered limestone‚ we used powdered limestone‚ as it would be a fairer test‚ I think this as all the particles of limestone will

Lab Report: How Temperature affects Reaction Rate Aim: The Aim is to investigate how temperature can affect Reaction Rate. The experiment will be performed by heating equally sized and weighted lime stones with equal amounts and concentration of Hydrochloric acid at different temperatures. The temperatures will be 35˚C and 40˚C. We will measure the reaction rates by observing gas release of the reaction between lime stones and Hydrochloric acid. The amount of gas release at different
