SODIUM gSodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na (from Latin: natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft‚ silver-white‚ highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals; its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature‚ but instead must be prepared from its compounds; it was first isolated by Humphry Davy in 1807 by the electrolysis of sodium hydroxide. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust‚ and exists in numerous minerals such

Signed_________________________________________ Abstract A common road salt‚ magnesium chloride‚ was analyzed in the lab to test its effectiveness as a road salt. The Van’t Hoff factor of the salt and the enthalpy of dissolution when dissolved in pure water were experimentally tested to evaluate its many characteristics as a deicer. To determine the Van’t Hoff factor‚ the difference of temperatures of freezing water and a solution of magnesium chloride was determined. A Van’t Hoff factor average of 2.88 was found‚ which

Sulfate Steven English Lab Instructor: Dr. Campo Date: Tuesday‚ February 5th 2013 Pre-Lab Questions A. Adding the acid to the sodium sulfate solution results in an increase in the solubility of any free anions present in the sample. This will happen because the present anions will bind with the hydrogen cations present in the acid. B. The sodium sulfate is boiled because experiments have shown that barium sulfate is 50 times more soluble at 100°C than at room temperature. At the higher

Exp 23 B Synthesis of t-Pentyl Chloride 11-8-12 Purpose: The sysnthesis of t-Pentyl Chloride from alcohol. Procedure: Preparation of t-Pentyl Chloride. In a 125-mL separatory funnel‚ place 10.0 mL of t-pentyl alcohol (2-methyl-2-butanol‚ MW _ 88.2‚ d _ 0.805 g/mL) and 25 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (d _ 1.18 g/mL). Do not stopper the funnel. Gently swirl the mixture in the separatory funnel for about 1 minute. After this period of swirling‚ stopper the separatory funnel and

Lab 4. Volumetric Determination of Impure Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) Introduction: To determine the total amount of carbonate in unrefined sodium carbonate‚ soda ash‚ a titration is done using a standardized solution of HCl. Aqueous HCl is a strong acid and therefore almost completely disassociates into H+ and CL-. Therefore‚ when HCl is used in a titration‚ the H+ is the titrant. Carbonate in aqueous solution is able to accept a proton‚ i.e. it acts as a base. When carbonate accepts the H+ a bicarbonate

These materials are widely used to treat raw water supplies that contain dissolved salts. Today‚ the most commonly used material is an ion exchange resin. Resins are plastic beads to which a favorable

Synthesis of t-Pentyl Chloride Introduction: Using SN1 reaction mechanism with hydrochloric acid‚ t-Pentyl alcohol was converted to t-Pentyl chloride in an acid catalyzed reaction. The reaction took place in a separatory funnel designed to separate immiscible liquids. The crude product was extracted by transferring a solute from one solvent to another. The process of washing the solutions by phase transfer was used in order to remove impurities from the main solvent layer. Finally‚ the crude

Acetyl chloride‚ CH3COCl‚ also known as ethanoyl chloride or acyl chloride‚ is an acid chloride derived from acetic acid. It belongs to the class of organic compounds called acyl halides. It is a colorless liquid. Acetyl chloride does not exist in nature‚ because contact with water would hydrolyze it into acetic acid and hydrogen chloride. In fact‚ if handled in open air it gives off white smoke owing to the hydrolysis from the moisture in the air. The "smoke" is actually small droplets of hydrochloric
