Lab of Determining an Empirical Formula B2 Honors 12/18/13 Abstract In this lab‚ to help better understand the concepts of gram atomic masses and empirical formulas‚ we found the gram atomic masses and empirical formula of a binary compound. The two compounds should form a definite whole number ratio by mass. This ratio will also help determine the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula. Errors in this experiment can stem from measuring wrong or doing equations incorrectly.

Experiment 5: Percent Water in a Hydrated Salt Chemistry 1300 Instructor: 2/8/12 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the percent by mass in a hydrated salt‚ as well as to learn to handle laboratory apparatus without touching it. The hydrated salt‚ calcium carbonate‚ was heated with high temperature to release water molecules. Gravimetric analysis was used in this experiment to determine the percent by mass of water in a hydrated salt. The hypothesis of this experiment

In our lab‚ we were given the task of burning seven different salts and taking notes of what we observed. The different salts included Potassium chloride‚ Calcium chloride‚ Strontium chloride‚ Lithium chloride‚ Copper II chloride‚ Sodium Chloride‚ and Barium Chloride. Burning a pinch of each salt separately by holding a nichrome wire over a Bunsen burner‚ we found that each salt emitted a different color of light. For example‚ Potassium Chloride burnt a bright pink flame when burned‚ while Calcium

structure is derived. Firstly it is important to determine the percentage composition of elements to work out the empirical formula. The empirical formula was found to be C10H12O and the mass of the unknown was 148.09 m/z which when calculating the molecular weight of the empirical formula it did equal 148.09 g mol -1. This means that the empirical formula is also the molecular formula. As 12.01x10 carbons +1.008x12 hydrogens + 16= 148.09 09 g mol -1. From this knowledge the unknown molecule must include

The litmus paper and the pH probe determined the salt solutions’ pH levels. When the blue litmus paper was dipped into ammonium chloride‚ the paper was changed to red whereas the red litmus paper stayed the same indicating that the solution was acidic. PH levels shown through pH probe also ranged between 5.5 to 6.0. Yet when in the presence of sodium acetate blue litmus stayed blue whereas red litmus turned blue‚ indicating its basicity. pH probe also showed the solution’s pH varied between the

Modeling Effective Dose: Salt Tasting lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to see at what measurements (of salt) can the salt be detected by taste. Abstract The science of toxicology is based on the principle that there is a relationship between a toxic reaction (the response) and the amount of poison received (the dose). An important assumption in this relationship is that there is almost always a dose below which no response occurs or can be measured. A second assumption is that once a maximum

Shawn Dubbs Lab 1 The Mole Concept of and the Chemical Formula of a Hydrate Abstract: The objective of this lab was to conduct an experiment to analyze the molar components in alum. This was conducted by heating the alum till the water had evaporated and then determining the number of moles for each component. Then using the these amounts to figure out the empirical formula for alum. Results: In order to determine how much of each separate component a total mass was taken before hand for

Formula of a Hydrate Lab Wednesday October 29‚ 2014 Chemistry Honors Purpose This lab was done to determine the percentage of water in a hydrate‚ which was CuSO4 ?H20. Not only the percentage of water can be found‚ the moles of water can be found per one mole of anhydrous salt. An anhydrous salt is a hydrate that lost its water. Using various lab equipment such as burners‚ crucible‚ and balance‚ and techniques such as the mass-to-mole ratio and mass to percentage‚ the percentage of water in a hydrate
