Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

Should fluorine be added to water? Introduction: Fluoride is a natural mineral and a chemical‚ which is a compound of fluorine that is the most commonly used in water sources. However not only for that‚ it also has a various number of other uses in example: making molten metals flow‚ and burning materials etc. as it is an extremely reactive and highly toxic element‚ so when it comes to adding fluoride to public water‚ that’s when mankind is faced with some extremely

Lab Report for Chemical Changes and Conservation of Mass Lab Previous to the reaction‚ the magnesium appeared to be a solid‚ white‚ black‚ and grey substance with many small dark particles within the substance. The hydrochloric acid was a clear liquid that looked like water It weighed 42.2 grams in total. During the reaction‚ the two substances produced bubbles‚ creating smoke and became warm with a smell that is irritating to the human nose. After the reaction‚ it appeared to be a clear‚ bubbly

Reaction Rate with Magnesium Sarah Cain SCH 4UB Mr. Lankin April 1‚ 2009 Introduction The nature of the problem is to design an investigation that examines a variable affecting the reaction rate. In this experiment‚ magnesium will be reacted with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The reaction is shown by the following chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) + Mg (s) → MgSO4 (aq) + H2 (g) This equation shows that when magnesium is combined with

reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid will be effected if we change the concentration of hydrochloric acid. Introduction In the experiment the magnesium reacts with the hydrochloric acid to create magnesium chloride and hydrogen. The balanced formula for this is: Mg(s) + 2HCL(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) Magnesium + hydrochloric acid Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Magnesium will react with hydrochloric acid‚ because it is higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen. The magnesium displaces the

heat evolved when magnesium reacts with dilute acids. Planning What I am going to do I am going to find out how much heat is given out when magnesium reacts with a variety of dilute acids. In order to make comparisons between the acids‚ I shall use my results to work out how much heat would be given out if 1 mole of magnesium reacted with an excess of each acid. The acids I shall use are hydrochloric acid‚ sulphuric acid‚ nitric acid and ethanoic acid. What I already know Magnesium reacts with most

Formal Lab Report #1 I. Basics Title of the Experiment: The Empirical Formula of an Oxide Authors: Section Number: Chemistry Location and Date II. Abstract The aim in this lab was to determine the empirical formula of an oxide of magnesium through combustion in air. This was achieved by heating an established mass of magnesium in air inside of a crucible‚ ultimately attaining a compound that contained Mg and O. The major result of the experiment was the empirical formula of the oxide of magnesium

FORMAL LAB REPORT INTRODUCTION John Dalton’s atomic theory states that elements combine in simple numerical ratios to form compounds. A compound‚ no matter how it is formed‚ always contains the same elements in the same proportion by weight. The law of mass conservation states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In this experiment‚ the mass of the metal was not destroyed or created; the metal’s mass was simply changed into a compound form once the gas
