DETERMINATION OF THE SOLUBILITY PRODUCT CONSTANT OF CALCIUM HYDROXIDE ABSTRACT This experiment aimed to determine the solubility product constant (Ksp) of Ca(OH)2 as well as to evaluate the effects of common and non-common ions on its solubility. Ca(OH)2 solids were dissolved in eight various media: distilled water‚ 1.0 M KCl‚ 0.5 M KCl‚ 0.1 M KCl‚ 0.05 M KCl‚ 0.005 M KCl‚ 0.001 M KCl‚ and 0.1 M Ca(NO3)2. The concentration of dissociated OH- concentrations was determined by means of titrimetric

sodium chlorite‚ NaClO2; sodium hypochlorite‚ NaClO; and sodium chloride‚ NaCl. All are white solids at room temperature. It is possible to determine the chemical equation for the decomposition of sodium chlorate by applying the principles of stoichiometry to the masses of the reactants and products. Safety Precautions: Sodium chlorate is a strong oxidizing agent and a dangerous fire risk; it is slightly toxic by ingestion. Contact with metal powders or combustible organic compounds may cause

Synopsis The objective of this experiment is to determine the percentage by mass of calcium carbonate‚CaCO3 in toothpaste using back titration technique. A known weight portion of toothpaste is obtained to react with known volume and concentration of standard acid solution. After completing the reaction‚ the resulting solution containing excess acid is back titrated with known volume and concentration of standard base solution. Determination of excess acid after reaction allow us to calculate the

The reaction will release iodine:Example: (a) With KMnO4 2MnO4- + 16H+ + 10I(b) With KIO3 IO3- + 5I+ 6H+ 3I2 + 3H2O 2Mn2+ + 5I2 + 8H2O The iodine that is released is titrated against a standard thiosulphate solution. From the stoichiometry of the reaction‚ the amount of iodine can be determined and from this‚ the concentration of the oxidising agent which released the iodine‚ can be calculated. In an iodometric titration‚ a starch solution is used as an indicator as it can absorb

1 Class XII: Chemistry Chapter 1: The Solid State Concept 1. Solid: Solid is a state of matter in which the constituting particles are arranged very closely. The constituent particles can be atoms‚ molecules or ions. Properties of solids: a. They have definite mass‚ volume and shape. b. Intermolecular distances are short and hence the intermolecular forces are strong. c. Their constituent particles have fixed positions and can only oscillate about their mean positions. d. They are incompressible

Abstract Gold‚ silver‚ copper‚ lead‚ and mercury are some of the ancient elements. Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus the first element. After the discovery of phosphorus‚ many more elements were discovered. Johann Dobereiner discovered that elements could be grouped in three sets and proposed the Law of Triads. Later‚ A.E.Beguyer de Chancourtois arranged the elements according to their atomic mass and created the first geometrical representation of the periodic table. John Newlands proposed the
