"CHEMISTRY REVIEW" PROJECT PAGES This Project Page first appeared in the November 1996 issue of Chemistry Review‚ Volume 6‚ Number 2‚ Pages 14 and 15. Chemistry Review is published four times during the academic year by Philip Allan Updates and is a journal for post-16 students. It contains a variety of interesting and colourful articles aimed at 16-19 year-olds taking mainly AS and A2 courses in chemistry. NOTE: Project Page is designed to help you think about your investigation. It is not

and boiling points‚ and do not conduct electricity. Since electrons are shared in covalent bonds‚ they have slightly different properties than ionic-bonded compounds. Based on these properties‚ the best compound for your ceramic fixative would be sodium chloride (NaCl)‚ because it has an ionic bond‚ has a high melting and boiling point‚ is electrically conductive‚ dries white‚ and can dissolve in water but not in alcohol. When we conducted this experiment‚ we used distilled water to test if the

electrodes. To understand electrolysis‚ you need to know what an ionic substance is. Ionic substances form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. They contain charged particles called ions. For example‚ sodium chloride forms when sodium reacts with chlorine. It contains positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions. Ionic substances can be broken down by electricity. Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances when

determine the percentage composition of each substance in a salt mixture To better understand the concepts‚ we look at the reaction below. The reaction of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride is an aqueous system. The molecular form of the equation is Na2CO3.H2O + CaCl2.2H2O → CaCO3 + 2NaCl + 3H2O As the two reactant salts and sodium chloride are soluble in water but calcium carbonate is insoluble‚ the ionic equation for the reaction is that we present only the ions that react (after removing

Report of redox titration--- Iodine titrated against sodium thiosulphate Objectives The objective of this experiment is to balance the equation for the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and iodine. Principle As the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and iodine is a redox reaction‚ so I make use of this to perform a redox titration‚ iodine titrated against sodium thiosulphate. From the experimental result‚ I can find out the number of mole of the two substances‚ hence I can calculate

How Do Different Factors Affect Osmosis Aim: To discover The Different factors that affect osmosis. Factors that affects the rate of osmosis in a potato: * Time * Temperature * Molar * Sucrose solution * NaCl solution * Concentration of liquid * Age of the potato * Variety of the potato * Potassium‚ K(AQ) Factor Chosen: Different Molar of Sucrose Solution In this investigation I will change the molar of sucrose solution to find the increase or decrease

In part A‚ solutions needed in the experiment were prepared‚ and the LabQuest was set up. By adding 100mL 6M HCl to 200mL deionized water‚ 300mL of 2M HCl solution was prepared. Then 150mL 2M NaOH solution was prepared by adding 100mL 3M NaOH to 50mL deionized water. Finally‚ the LabQuest was connected to the temperature probe‚ and set up to collect data every 15 seconds‚ the duration was set to be 180 seconds. In part B‚ three reactions were performed. In reaction 1‚ two Styrofoam cups were stacked

inches from the driveway. Furthermore‚ the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to 1 foot from the driveway. Question: Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? Introduction: The chemical components that make up salt are the fused elements of sodium and chloride (Editorial Board‚ 2012). If there is abundance or very little salts present in dissolve fluids‚ there could be interference with routine cell functions. Plants depend on water for fluids within the living cells. Too much salt disrupts

R-C-O-R’ + NaOH ---- R-C-O-Na+ + R’OH Ester(fat) + base(caustic soda) ---- salt of fatty acid(soap) + alcohol(glycerol). Caustic potash (potassium hydroxide) can be used instead of caustic soda (sodium hydroxide)but is more expensive. The base used to come from wood ash containing potassium carbonate which formed potash as this was not plentiful it made soap a luxury. The cheapest source of the ester is animal and vegetable fats and oils.
