It is clear that salt‚ also known as sodium chloride‚ should no longer be used on our roads in the winter months. The first two reasons why salt needs to stop being used are because salt negatively affects aquatic ecosystems and causes damage to vegetation. The third reason is because thankfully‚ there are alternatives that we can use‚ that would be benefiting us which we should use instead of sodium chloride. To begin with‚ sodium chloride is detrimental to our aquatic ecosystems when it is

tend to find buffers particularly difficult to understand. Students often forget to consider volume changes that occur when two solutions are mixed (this will have an effect on the concentration of the species present). Students tend to confuse Ksp and solubility. 17.1 The Common Ion Effect • The dissociation of a weak electrolyte is decreased by the addition of a strong electrolyte that has an ion in common with the weak electrolyte. • For example‚ consider the ionization of a weak

Introduction The experiment is testing for the formation of precipitates caused by different limiting reactants. A precipitate results in a solid formed by an ionic compound. Calcium nitrate and copper sulfate will be added to separate beakers with approximately half of the solutions from the Büchner funnel system of each trial to test for the formation of precipitates. The limiting reactant is the reactant that will run out first in the chemical reaction. It is important to recognize which chemical

orange‚ coming in with the second lowest energy. Iron chloride had a “sparky” appearance that lasted for approximately six seconds and it was concluded that it had a high energy. Lithium chloride burned a pinkish color. Potassium chloride had a high energy and produced a purple flame. Strontium chloride had the lowest energy which was determined by red color of its flame. Unknown 1 was strontium chloride and unknown 2 was calcium chloride. The unknowns were found by comparing their flame colors

An example of this process is when calcium chloride dissolved in water. The polar water molecules attracted the oppositely charged Ca2+ and Cl- ions as calcium chloride is a polar molecule as well. The ions brake apart as the water attraction is greater than the ionic bond within the calcium chloride molecule. Solubility is also important for conductivity as some elements such as calcium chloride do not conduct in a solid state. This explains why calcium chloride conducted when dissolved in water

Reaction of acids with metal: Acids give hydrogen gas along with respective salt when they react with a metal. Example:- Hydrogen gas and zinc chloride are formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc metal. Hydrogen gas and sodium chloride are formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium metal. Hydrogen gas and iron chloride are formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with iron. Hydrogen gas and zinc sulphate are formed when zinc metal reacts with sulphuric acid Test for

The Relationship between Reactants and Products Introduction In a chemical reaction‚ the amount of starting material for a chemical reaction limits the amount of product that can be formed.1 The principle of limiting reactants relates to this lab because the limiting reactant is the substance that is used up first in a chemical reaction. The amount of product was limited by that reagent. The excess reactants were considered to be the other reagents that were presented in excess of the quantity that

added. If one teaspoon of ammonium chloride‚ calcium chloride‚ and sodium chloride are added to separate glasses of water‚ then ammonium chloride will keep the water cold the longest because it is most commonly used in brand name cold packs. In order to test the hypothesis‚ the scientists will label four cups to keep track of what chemical will go in each cup. One will just be plain water‚ while the next will be labeled ammonium chloride‚ calcium chloride‚ etc. Then the scientists will pour fifty
