Sodium was first discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1807. This element is the 11th element found on the periodic table; located in group 1 and period 3. Its chemical symbol is Na and it is classified as a metal. Metals‚ by definition‚ means that they are elements that are luster‚ lose electrons very easily‚ malleable‚ ductile‚ and are great conductors of heat and electricity. Sodium is found in group 1 of the periodic table because the electronegativity of sodium is very low. This allows it to form

Lab 2: Reaction Order and Rate Laws Khadijah Maraheel Location: My apartment September 27th-28th 2017 Course Number: Chem112 Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to find the rate law of the reactants and the reactions order. My beginning thought was I would find whole numbers but that would be to easy. My answers were all with decimals. I found that my rate law Is k (HCl)1.36 (Na2S2O3)0.84. I was expecting the solution to change color but I never thought it would turn

Chemical Equation Chemical Reaction: C10H8+ 12 O2 → CO2 + 4H2 O (Naphthalene) Combustion Introduction of the Product: Naphthalene is an organic compound with formula C10H8. It is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon‚ and is a white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor that is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.08 ppm by mass. As an aromatic hydrocarbon‚ naphthalene’s structure consists of a fused pair of benzene rings. It is best known as the

electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. During electrolysis‚ hydrogen atoms (H2) are reduced at the cathode whereas the oxygen atoms (O2) are oxidized at the anode. There were three different solutions used in the experiment in order to have a better understanding of electrolysis reactions. From each solution‚ reaction equations were produced. The reactions could be observed from the indicators used. The reactions showed that hydrogen ions were produced at the anode‚ making

energy and heat associated with chemical reactions and/or physical transformations. A reaction may release or absorb energy‚ and a phase may change‚ such as in melting and boiling. Thermochemistry focuses on these energy changes‚ particularly on the system ’s energy exchange with its surroundings. In combination with entropy determinations‚ it is used to predict whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous‚ favourable or unfavourable. Chemical reactions can be divided into two based on the

Diffusion is a way nonvascular plants can get water. It is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until they are equal. An example of diffusion is red food coloring. When you put food coloring in a glass of water the color will spread through the water until all of it is a red tint. This shows the molecules of the food coloring equally distributed in the area of the water. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where only the water molecules

EXPERIMENT: 1 Object: To find the wavelength of Sodium light by Newton’s ring. Apparatus required: A Plano convex lens of large radius of curvature‚ optical arrangement for Newton’s rings‚ plane glass plate; sodium lamp and traveling microscope. Formula used: The wavelength of light is given by the formula λ =D n2+p –Dn2 / 4pR Where D n+p = diameter of (n+p)th ring Dn = diameter of n th ring‚ P = an integer number‚ R = radius of curvature of the curved face of the Plano- convex lens.

Based off the results from this lab the student was able to determine and have an overall better understanding of the variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant. The first variable the student tested in the lab was 30cm of light with CO2 present. The student started this trial with all 10-leaf disks and timed how many leaf disks came up every minute for 15 minutes. One minute into the trial and the student recorded that no leaf disks had yet to rise to the top of the solution. At

If the solution appears milky than it is known as a precipitate reaction‚ meaning it is soluble‚ and that the ions separated and became surrounded by water. Precipitates in this experiment are electrically uncharged. To identify which compounds are

Concentration of liquid foods is a fundamental operation in many food processes; it is completely different from dehydration. Usually‚ foods‚ which are concentrated‚ remain in the liquid state; while drying produces solid or semisolid foods with significantly lower water content. The concentration of liquid foods has three different methods; evaporation‚ membrane concentration‚ and freeze concentration. Evaporation usages gas liquid phase separation. It has the lowest capital cost and the maximum
