Chloroform is a halogenated organic compound known by its nonsystematic name. The chemical name for chloroform is trichloromethane. The molecular formula of this synthetic chemical is CHCl3. A particular odor‚ considered by some to be pleasant‚ will let one know chloroform is in the room. Because without it‚ the lack of color of this clear liquid makes it difficult to identify. Be fair warned: trichloromethane is volatile. It also sinks in water because it is denser. Chloroform is nonflammable

Name: Lisa Brewer iLab‚ Week # 2 CATIONS AND ANION LAB Introduction The purpose of this week’s lab is to learn to demonstrate a double-replacement reaction of ionic compounds. To accomplish this‚ two ionic compounds will be mixed together and the product will precipitate out of solution. In this procedure‚ the product must be precipitated out of the solution and then weighed. For this lab‚ lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and potassium chromate (K2CrO4) will be reacted together to demonstrate

1. The Tums tablet is insoluble in water. The water turns foggy when the Tums tablet is added. The particles of the tablet are suspended in the water‚ therefore the water appeared foggy and opaque. The Alka-Seltzer is soluble in water. The ingredients of Alka-Seltzer and the water react together to produce gas‚ thus bubbles formed in the solution. Whereas‚ the Rolaids tablet did not dissolve in water. The powder remained afloat on the surface of the water. Unlike the Tums tablet‚ Rolaids does not

Biomagnification speech DESRIPTION OF THE ISSUE Biomagnification is the accumulation of substances‚ especially many chlorinated hydrocarbons that are used as pesticides. Common chlorinated hydrocarbons include DDT‚ dieldrin‚ and PCBs. These chemicals are insoluble in water‚ but highly soluble in organic solvents like animal fats and plant oils. Due to their insolubility‚ they are persistent in the environment and cannot be broken down by any natural processes. HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM DDT was first

LAB 3.Ø.Ø: do ions combine in definite ratios PURPOSE The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether ions combine in definite ratios or not. To observe‚ and create a table of the different ions. QUESTION If copper (II) sulfate when mixed with sodium carbonate at different quantities combine to form ions in definite ratios. HYPOTHESIS / PREDICTION I believe that the ions will combine in definite ratios due to the fact that the valance electrons will not be changing throughout any
