Formula and Percent Composition of the Compound Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Nice sounding title Date Performed Lab: 8/31/06 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and oxygen‚ an expected percent composition

Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract:- Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is produced experimentally in the lab. The resulting percentage yield is 65.5%. The purity of the obtained product is tested using the melting point and Ferric Chloride Test (FCT). The aspirin was massed‚ and the melting point was determined. Based on the data collected‚ there was a total yield of 1.757g of purified aspirin‚ which had a melting point range of 125°C-130°C. Results of the Ferric Chloride test showed

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the

In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

The completed calculations can be found on lab notebook page 14. Using this data‚ graph 2 was generated showing the relationship between the intensity ratio and the concentration of chlorine. Relating to the Stern-Volmer equation of F0/F=1+KSV[Q] and the linear line equation of y = 124x + 1.08‚ the KSV is the slope of the equation 124. Compared to the literature value of KSV of 184‚ the relative error as a percent was calculated to be 32.6% [2]. This was calculated by finding

The limiting reactant is the reactant that limits the amount of product formed in the chemical reaction. Also‚ you may find the percent yield by dividing the expected yield‚ the amount of product that should be produced based on your stoichiometric calculations‚ by the actual yield‚ the amount of product that is experimentally obtained from a chemical reaction. In this lab‚ I have determined the reaction for mixing two reactants together; I measured out 0.005 moles of each reactant‚ lead (II) nitrate

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

Preparation of an Ester Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) OBJECTIVE: To become familiar with the techniques and principle of esterification. DISCUSSION: Aspirin is a drug widely used as an antipyretic agent (to reduce fever)‚ as an analgesic agent (to reduce pain)‚ and/or as an anti-inflammatory agent (to reduce redness‚ heat or swelling in tissues). Chemically‚ aspirin is an ester. Esters are the products of reaction of acids with alcohols‚ as shown in the following equation using

Percent Mass of Copper in a Penny Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent mass of Cu in a penny and see if the fabricator that makes the planchets for the government is using the correct amounts of Cu in the pennies. The composition of a standard penny is 97.5% Zn and 2.5% Cu. In the lab we will be using Beer’s Law (A=elc+b where A is solution absorbance‚ e is a constant called molar absorbency‚ l is the length in cm‚ and c is the concentration). Using Beer’s Law in this
