INTRODUCTION For this experiment we studied an oxidation-reduction reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid solution. We compared the experimental measured amount of a product and the amount predicted by the theoretical calculation of a balanced equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) PROCEDURE First we obtained a strip of pre-cut magnesium ribbon‚ cleaned it with steel wool to remove any signs of oxidation from the strip (which would alter our results)‚ and then weighed it (individual

“Kinetics of Ethanol Oxidation” laboratory experiment utilized Beer’s law and spectroscopy to monitor concentration and the rate of ethanol oxidation through the LoggerPro System. This data then helped determine the kinetic rate constant‚ k‚ and the order of the reaction. First‚ the wavelength of maximum absorbance was determined using the LoggerPro interface and a Vernier colorimeter. Beer’s law was then used to determine the molar absorptivity. Finally‚ a kinetic study of ethanol oxidation was completed

Acidity’s effects on Fruit Browning Aim: To test whether the acidity of the surface area of an apple has an effect on the rate of enzymatic browning over 70 minutes. Hypothesis: the more acidic the surface area the longer it takes for the fruit to oxidise. Variables: Independent: acidity of surface area of the apple Dependent: the progression of melanin (brown pigment) after 70 minutes Controlled/fixed: time of day‚ knife used to cut fruit‚ portion of fruit‚ environment

Clostridium Difficile People getting medical care can catch serious infections called healthcare-associated infections or HAI’s. One type of HAI which is caused by the germ Clostridium Difficile or C-Diff. In 2015 it was estimated almost half a million infections in the United Ststes‚ and 29‚000 died within 30 days of the initial diagnosis. Those most at risk are older adults‚ who take antibiotics and also get medical care. The CDC provides guidelines and tools for the healthcare population to help

Similar to potassium‚ sodium is a major mineral‚ however‚ unlike potassium which maintains fluid and electrolyte balance inside the cell‚ sodium is a major part of the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance system because it is the chief ion used to maintain the volume of fluid outside cells. Sodium also helps maintain acid-base balance and is essential to muscle contraction and nerve transmission. The DRI recommended intakes for sodium for adults ages 19 to 50 years old is 1‚500 milligrams per day

Lithium‚Sodium‚Potassium‚Rubidium‚Caesium and Francium are all part of group 1.They are metals that can be easily cut.After being cut‚it is shiny but it quickly tarnishes due to the fact that the metal reacts quickly with oxygen or water.The shiny surfaces of Sodium quickly tarnishes more quickly than Lithium and Potassium more tarnishes more quickly than Lithium.This shows that the reactivity increases as we move down the group.

the Rate of Reaction Between HCl and Sodium Thiosulfate Chemistry Lab report Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine how concentrations of HCl acid affect the rate of reaction when reacted with Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3). This experiment would require measuring the mass of the reaction over a period of time to be able to determine the rate of the reaction. Safety Precautions: In this experiment‚ SO2 gas is produced from the reaction between Sodium Thiosulfate and HCl‚ and this can be dangerous
