In the first reaction‚ magnesium was burned to produce magnesium oxide. The reaction produced a bright light‚ which is evidence of a chemical change. The second reaction occurred as a result of solid magnesium reacting with hydrochloric acid. The reaction produced heat and bubbles‚ both indications of a chemical change. A wood splint was used to determine that the gas produced was hydrogen gas‚ hence the other product is magnesium dichloride. In the third reaction‚ ammonium carbonate was heated to

Chemical Reactions The idea of chemical reactions was investigated about two hundred and fifty years ago‚ when a man named Antoine Laurent Lavoisier wanted to know about the importance of chemical changes. Also‚ in the 19th century‚ John Dalton made the atomic theory. Dalton said that bonding atoms together makes new substances‚ which is a chemical reaction (History of chemical reactions). The definition of chemical reaction is‚ “the processes in which substances undergo chemical changes‚ which

Acid Rain and its Chemistry Acid rain is a type of pollution that is becoming a major threat to our planet and is need of attention. Acid rain has significantly increased ever since the industrial revolution‚ and now around the world‚ countries like Russia‚ China‚ and those in Europe are facing increasing levels of acidity in their rain. Not only is it becoming more acidic but it is also spreading by the pumping of sulfuric gasses deeper into the atmosphere from of the use of taller smokestacks

First‚ the buffer was prepared by using the formula as follows: Figure 1: Calculation for prepare 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer at pH 6 3.4007g of potassium phosphate was weighed and placed in 300 mL beaker. Then‚ 125 mL of water was added into the beaker that contained potassium phosphate. The mixture was dissolved using the stirring rod‚ and then the magnetic stirring bar was placed in the beaker for further dissolve when measuring the pH. The pH meter was used to measure the solution

1. Determining the concentration of KMnO4 from the solution created by the stockroom. 16H+ + 2MnO4- (aq) + 5C2O42- (aq) → 2Mn2+ (aq) + 10CO2 (g) + 8H2O (l) Volume of potassium manganate (KMnO4) = 32.5 mL Mass of Sodium Oxalate (NaC2O4): 0.104 [KMnO4] Calculation: = (0.104g of NaC2O4)(1 mol NaC2O4 /134.0g)(2 mol KMnO4 / 5 mol NaC2O4)(1/32.5 mL)(1000 mL /1L) = 0.00955 M KMnO4 2. Using the standardized concentration of KMnO4 calculated above to find the mass percentage of the oxalate ion Equation:

Question # 1: You are titrating 50 ml. of nitrous acid with sodium hydroxide (0.15 M). Equivalence is reached at 22.0 ml of NaOH delivered. Calculate the pH of the solution in the flask: a- before the beginning of the titration - after the delivery of 5 ml. of titrant b- at half-equivalence c-at equivalence d-after delivery of 23 ml. of titrant Part A) Reaction is: HNO2 + OH- NO2- + H2O Ka for Nitrous acid = 7.2E-4 Kw = Ka*Lb Kb = 1.0E-14/7.2E-4 Kb = 1.38E-11 Moles of base:

Is there really such a thing as rain with acid in it? Yes‚ acid rain is a very real phenomenon worldwide‚ and it’s been documented since the 1800s‚ as the Industrial Revolution caused the burning of fossil fuels like coal‚ gas and oil. When these fuels or any other organic material like wood or paper are burned‚ they release compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrous oxides (NOx) into the air. Are SO2 and NOx the causes of acid rain? Indirectly‚ yes. When SO2 and NOx enter the atmosphere

COMBUSTION OF MAGNESIUM OXIDE DESIGN Aim/Purpose: To calculate the number of moles and the empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Safety precautions: 1) Wear lab coat 2) Wear gogles. 3)Make sure the bunsen burner is working properly and their is no leakage. 4) Wear gloves. Hypothesis: The weight of the magnesium ribbon increases after burning‚ so this indicated that their was a change in mass. This change happened because of the magnesium ribbon inside the crucible which reacted with Oxygen
