Experiment In this lab we were asked to observe changes and colors when mixing two or three chemicals together. The actual experiment itself used twelve different pipits and three chemicals I selected from my house. To begin‚ I first gathered everything‚ including the 96 well plate‚ 24 well plate‚ goggles‚ and gloves along with the observations of chemical changes bag. I set it up all on the the kitchen table that had paper towels on it. Next‚ I made my data table so that I could record my reactions

In “Where is Here?” Joyce Carol Oates brings up the idea of infinity through a few different elements: the drawing that the visitor makes for the son‚ the house itself‚ and the characters. These all‚ in some way‚ represent infinity and the way life continues on forever and how it often reflects the past. When the visitor meets the son‚ he offers to show him a mathematical riddle. He draws a square and then a triangle inside the square. He continues to draw triangles within the drawing‚ making

eight types of chemical reactions. These eight reactions are Decomposition‚ Composition‚ Acid/Base‚ Synthesis‚ Single-Replacement‚ Double-Replacement‚ Precipitation‚ and Redox. Though these eight could be referred to as the same due to them being chemical reactions. They are actually very different. An example of this difference is Decomposition and Synthesis. Decomposition is when a compound is broken into smaller chemical species while a Synthesis reaction is two or more chemical species combining

Data Tables: Part 1: Chemicals Well No. Observations of the Reaction A. NaHCO3 + HCl A1 Bubbles immediately formed and started popping (not rapidly). This could be seen more easily with the black paper underneath the well plate B. HCl + BTB C1 Once I added the Bromothymol Blue indicator‚ it turned an orange-like color C. NH3 + BTB E1 The reaction turned dark blue. When Bromothymol Blue reacts with an acid‚ it turned orange‚ and when it reacts with a base‚ the end result is blue. D. HCl
