In this lab‚ we used Bunsen burners to heat up a hydrated salt in order to determine the percentage of water inside of this hydrated salt. We heated up the salt in order to boil off the water‚ which allowed us to find the weight of the CuSO4 by itself. By comparing this final weight with the original weight and subtracting the difference‚ we were able to compile data about how much the weight of the hydrated salt decreased as the water gradually boiled away. In doing so‚ we were able to find the

In our lab‚ we were given the task of burning seven different salts and taking notes of what we observed. The different salts included Potassium chloride‚ Calcium chloride‚ Strontium chloride‚ Lithium chloride‚ Copper II chloride‚ Sodium Chloride‚ and Barium Chloride. Burning a pinch of each salt separately by holding a nichrome wire over a Bunsen burner‚ we found that each salt emitted a different color of light. For example‚ Potassium Chloride burnt a bright pink flame when burned‚ while Calcium

Chem 1211L Mrs. Amy Cook February‚ 9 2011 Lab report on separation of mixtures Purpose- The purpose of this lab is to separate or isolate the desired product from large amounts of solvent and by-products. It is also followed by a purification step that removes trace amounts of other substances from the final product. One of the experimental techniques that we used in the lab to separate or purify mixture is fractional crystallization. In the experiment we used fractional crystallization to resolve

The separation scheme was created by centrifuging a controlled sample of one of the ions or anions combined with one of the reagents such as NaCl. It was found that it could be separated out after centrifuging and would result in a sample without the ions or anions if it precipitated. With the data from week one a method of adding the reagents in a certain order would result in the ability to separate all ions or anions out of a solution. Overall‚ knowing how the cations or anions reacted with certain

The litmus paper and the pH probe determined the salt solutions’ pH levels. When the blue litmus paper was dipped into ammonium chloride‚ the paper was changed to red whereas the red litmus paper stayed the same indicating that the solution was acidic. PH levels shown through pH probe also ranged between 5.5 to 6.0. Yet when in the presence of sodium acetate blue litmus stayed blue whereas red litmus turned blue‚ indicating its basicity. pH probe also showed the solution’s pH varied between the

Epsom salt have many uses‚ including use as bath salts‚ as a laxative and as a plant nutrient. Epsom salt contains hydrated magnesium sulphate which has the formula MgSO4.xH2O. Experiment to find the value of x in a pure sample of hydrated magnesium sulphate. The method i will use is heating a known mass of magnesium sulphate to remove the water of crystallisation. x is found by weighing before and after heating to find the mass of the water then using the moles calculations to find x.

1. Prepare the salt‚ sugar‚ sand‚ and measuring teaspoon. 2. Once the ice cubes are set up in their bowls‚ quickly add the substances to the ice cubes so that they don’t melt before adding the substances. 3. Place three ice cubes quickly into each of the four bowls. 4. Arrange the ice cubes so that only the corners are touching‚ forming a triangular shape. 5. Carefully sprinkle ½ teaspoon (tsp.) of salt over the ice cubes in one bowl. 6. Sprinkle ½ tsp. of sugar over the ice cubes in another bowl

Aim: The aim of this experiment was to develop a technique to separate a mixture of sand‚ salt‚ iron filings‚ kerosene and water. Hypothesis: It was hypothesized that the heterogeneous mixture of salt‚ sand kerosene‚ iron fillings and water will be effectively separated. It is also predicted that there will be a decrease in each of the substances as a results of sources of error. Risk assessment: Risk | Control Measure | Glass- Fragile‚ lacerations could occur | Extra care

DISTILLATION- SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE Ronald Ogbu‚ Alex 27th Aug. 2013 Purpose: To separate mixture of acetone and toluene using simple‚ packed and unpacked distillation columns. Results and Discussion: There were three distillation setups: simple‚ unpacked and pack fractional. All three procedures had different distillation apparatus but the unknown mixture was the same for all. The unknown liquid in a 50 ml round bottom flask was heated in a heating mantle such that a
