Experiment 1 :Alkanes&Alkenes:Combustion and action of sulphuric acid. Introduction In the study of organic chemistry‚ the organic compounds which are made up of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. They can be gases as‚ propane‚ they can be liquids‚ for example‚ benzene‚ or they can be low-melting solids and waxes‚ for example‚ polystyrene. There are four classifications of hydrocarbons; saturated hydrocarbons or alkanes‚ unsaturated hydrocarbons or alkenes and alkynes‚ cycloalkanes‚ and

cream measured (fat) that the cows would produce (L. L. Van Slyke‚ 1906). The chemistry behind the Babcock test is that by using the sulphuric acid it will burn all liquid except for the fat. The sample is then added with deionised water then placed in the centrifuge determining the layer of fat (University Kentucky‚ College of Agriculture‚ 2013). Sulphuric acid is important in this method as when it is added this increases the process of the fat layer appearing

The Effect of the Concentration of Sulphuric Acid on the Reaction Rate with Magnesium Sarah Cain SCH 4UB Mr. Lankin April 1‚ 2009 Introduction The nature of the problem is to design an investigation that examines a variable affecting the reaction rate. In this experiment‚ magnesium will be reacted with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The reaction is shown by the following chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) + Mg (s) → MgSO4 (aq) + H2

The Enthalpy Change of the Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate _INTRODUCTION_ RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the enthalpy change of the decomposition of calcium carbonate? BACKGROUND: Enthalpy in chemistry can be thought of as the energy contained within the bonds‚ or the internal energy‚ but it is not heat and you can only measure changes in it. When bond bonds break in the reactants energy is given off‚ when bonds form‚ energy is absorbed. If the energy absorbed is less than the energy released

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 ion is

Introduction In order to determine the content of calcium and magnesium in an unknown sample of limestone‚ the utilization of atomic absorption spectrophotometry can help in deciphering the unknown concentrations of each molecule in the limestone sample. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry‚ emits radiation of the correct frequency that is passed through a flame and the intensity of the transmitted radiation is measured¹.The calcium concentration or ppm can be measured using the absorbance of the
