Experiment 1: Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose: To observe the macroscopic changes that occur in chemical reactions and attempt to interpret the microscopic changes of the atoms and molecules that allow for the macroscopic changes to happen; and to associate these chemical properties with household products. Also‚ it is to learn the importance of how to separate mixtures into their component substances by solubility. Procedure: Before starting with the official experiment‚ it was important

2012 Period 0 Examination of the Formation of Precipitates between Various Aqueous Solutions of Ionic Compounds 11/12/12 Background Information: A double replacement reaction is a chemical reaction that usually takes place between two aqueous ionic compounds. In the reaction‚ the cation of one compound replaces the other compound’s cation that yields two produce two new and different compounds. A precipitation reaction is a chemical reaction in which the formation of a solid‚ as one of the products

Shelby Brown 8/28/10 Physical and chemical changes lab essay Changes in matter occur every day. There are two types of ways matter can be altered; physically and chemically. Physical changes do not change the composition of the matter while chemical changes occur when one or more substances turn into a completely new substance. Physical changes can be seen through an altering of the substances physical property. A substances physical property is observed and measured without changing

Abstract “Reaction Time” is the interval of time between the application of a stimulus and the detection of a response and has been thought to differ based upon the effects of modality and warning signals. In the “Reaction Time” experiment a total of 24 students from the University of Cincinnati participated in an experiment consisting of two sensory modalities‚ audition and vision‚ which were combined with two levels of warning signal status. The two levels of warning signal status were signal

energy is being released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. My lab partner and I had to determine the heat exchanged when solid magnesium hydroxide is mixed with solid citric acid‚ using a coffee cup calorimeter. Given that citric acid is soluble in water is the property that makes this reaction possible. The first law of thermodynamics and Hess’s law are also present within this experiment. Knowing the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions is also relevant. If the temperature goes

Biology coursework How does the temperature affect the rate of reaction? Introduction For our experiments‚ I was investigating what affects the rate of reaction. We used Hydrogen peroxide to test the rate of reaction‚ with the temperature of this being our variable that we changed. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear‚ colourless liquid which has various amounts of uses within the laboratory‚ industrial purposes and even in our households. It is mainly used for cleaning products and hair dye but is

A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two compounds react in order to create two new chemicals. The two cations and anions switch places with each other which forms two new compounds. As an example AB+CC can switch to AD+CB. Both sides of these equations must balance out in order to be neutral. So any pairs of compounds (such as A+B) must have a total balanced charge. In this example A could have a charge of positive 2 (+2) and B could have a charge of negative

Properties and Reactions of Hydrocarbons Abstract Introduction Hydrocarbons are organic materials that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms‚ these molecules can be saturated or unsaturated and acyclic‚ cyclic‚ or aromatic. In this experiment we used a variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve
