Premium Measurement Calcium carbonate Titration
of Marble chips and Hydrochloric acid Aim: We will measure the loss in mass of the marble chips (CaCO 3 ) as it reacts with Hydrochloric acid (HCl). This one method of measuring the rate of reaction. We will use a balance to measure this mass loss as the reactants are used up to form product. Safety: * As Hydrochloric acid is corrosive wear a lab coat‚ gloves and safety goggles. * Take care when using the glassware not to cut yourself. * When the reaction is taking place Carbon

Experiment 28: The reaction of Butanols with Hydrobromic Acid Pre-lab Objective: The objective of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane with different catalyst:substrate ratios to determine which ratio is the most economically favorable. Discussion: In this experiment‚ 1-butanol or 2-butanol will be converted to the corresponding alkyl bromide with HBR‚ while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The sulfuric acid will accelerate the chemical reaction with being consumed

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

heat is given out in neutralizing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) using different concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid. Background Information:- Substances that neutralize acids are called alkalis. An acid is a substance that forms hydrogen ions (H+ ) when placed in water. It can also be described as a proton donor as it provides H+ ions. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl)‚ Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) etc. An alkali is a soluble base and forms hydroxyl ions (OH-) when placed in water

Diffusion of Hydrochloric Acid into Different Sizes of Agar Blocks Aim: Investigating the relationship between the diffusion and the surface area to volume ratio‚ with agar and hydrochloric acid. Research Question: How does the difference in surface area to volume ratio affect the diffusion? Hypothesis: As the area to volume ratio increases‚ the time taken for a complete diffusion will also increase. Background Information: Agar is a jelly like substance and in this experiment‚ agar

of the Enthalpy of an Acid-Base Reaction Abstract The purpose of this lab was to first‚ determine the specific heat capacity of a homemade calorimeter‚ and second‚ to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction between 6M KOH and 6M HNO3. To determine the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter‚ two differing temperatures of water were measured and volume was measured and mixed within the calorimeter. The enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction was found by these steps:
