GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF MOISTURE IN FERTILIZER SAMPLES J.P. FERRERIA DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE‚ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING DATE PERFORMED: DECEMBER 6‚ 2012 ------------------------------------------------- RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In this experiment‚ we demonstrated the process called gravimetric analysis‚ where we‚ specifically‚ measured the amount of moisture in a fertilizer sample. Here‚ the weights of the crucibles with the fertilizer samples are measured before and after placing

Date Due: 18 January 2013 Date Submitted: 18 January 2013 Experiment No. 3: GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF PHOSPHORUS IN FERTILIZER SAMPLES I. Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determinethe Phophorus content of fertilizer samples using Gravimetric Analysis. It involves dissolution of the fertilizer sample‚ precipitation and heating and cooling of the sample. Pooled standard deviations of the two data sets for

energy lost by Calcium Chloride and gained by Ammonium Nitrate when dissolved in Water. Theory: Exothermic reactions are when net energy is lost in process of reaction. When solid calcium chloride (chemical formula CaCl₂) is placed in water‚ the calcium chloride dissolves and liberates heat in the process. Calcium chloride is one of the ingredients in instant "hot packs" sold in retail stores. Some concrete mixes incorporate calcium chloride to decrease drying time. Calcium chloride is also used as a

The halides in unknown solution were identified as iodide and chloride based on their experimental E°(Ag/AgX) values‚ -0.16 ±0.01V and 0.22 ±0.02V respectively. These results were both accurate with percent error of 5.96% for iodine and 0.9% for chloride. The literature value of E°(Ag/AgI) and E°(Ag/AgCl) were -0.151V and 0.222V respectively (1). In addition‚ the literature vales lay within the 95% confidence interval for both halides therefore the results were accurate. These results were precise

3411 Dr. Eidell October 24‚ 2014 Preparation and IR Analysis of 2-chloride-2-methylbutane Line Reaction Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to react 2-methyl-2-butanol with concentrated HCl in order to form 2-chloride-2-methylbutane. The hydrogen for the HCl make the -OH from the 2-methyl-2-butanol into a good leaving group because H2O is formed. The H2O leaves and Cl- is free to bond with the carbocation creating 2-chloride-2-methylbutane. The materials needed for the lab were

Copper Chloride Lab Report Procedure Part A: 1. Pick up the container of copper chloride dehydrate‚ and observe material. Describe crystals in detail‚ and write down all of the observations. Part B: 1. Take a 100 ml beaker and fill ¼ of it with water. Use a spatula to add some copper chloride dehydrate to the beaker filled with water. Record the observations. Be sure to observe the water and the copper chloride dehydrate. 2. Stir the contents in the beaker with

● Cobalt(II) Chloride Hexahydrate CoCl2.6H2O‚ was weighed in a weighing boat. The Cobalt(II) Chloride Hexahydrate was transferred into a 100mL volumetric flask dissolved in water. ● 25 mL of the dissolved was measured‚ using a graduated cylinder and few of the dissolved Cobalt (II) Chloride Hexahydrate‚ was poured into test tube. The test tube was labeled with a tape‚ to signify 25 mL and the spectrophotometer was used to record the U-V visible ABS (absorbance spectrum) with the wavelength of 515

What is Magnesium chloride(MgCl2)? What is it used for and why? What does it look like? Magnesium chloride is the name of a chemical formula of MG CL two. This is a salt and they are a typical ion halide. halides are very soluble to water. magnesium chloride is used for deicing on highways in sidewalks and also parking lots it is a good source of de-icing. The color that it appears is white or colorless crystalline solid. What is magnesium or what is chloride? whare are they located? You can find

Preparation of t-Butyl-Chloride March 8 & 15‚ 2012 Theory: Alkyl halides can be synthesized when alcohols react with hydrogen halides. An alkyl halide is a halogen-substituted alkane‚ and a hydrogen halide is a compound consisting of a hydrogen bonded to a halogen (H-X). Alkyl halides are classified as primary‚ secondary‚ or tertiary depending on the number of alkyl substituents directly attached to the carbon bearing the halogen atom. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to prepare
