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

SOLUTION AND CONCENTRATION A solution is a homogeneous mixture‚ made up of a solute dissolved in a solvent. Ex. In a water (aqueous) solution of sodium chloride‚ the sodium chloride is the solute and the water is the solvent. Solute – the component that is dissolved or is the least abundant component in the solution. Ex. Sugar‚ salt Solvent – the dissolving agent or the most abundant component in the solution. Ex. Water Common Types of Solution State of Solution State of Solute

Chemical equilibrium is a state of balance within a system of chemical reactions. Equilibrium in chemistry is achieved when substances are produced and broken down at the same rate and thus‚ the number of molecules of each substances becomes constant. Thermodynamics is a branch of physical science that involves the relationship between heat and other forms of energy (Energy‚ Enthalpy‚ and the First Law of Thermodynamics). There is a more specific area of thermodynamics that explicitly pertains to
