The purpose of this lab was to use a calorimeter to learn when energy is being released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. My lab partner and I had to determine the heat exchanged when solid magnesium hydroxide is mixed with solid citric acid‚ using a coffee cup calorimeter. Given that citric acid is soluble in water is the property that makes this reaction possible. The first law of thermodynamics and Hess’s law are also present within this experiment. Knowing the difference between endothermic

Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to observe what happens when two ionic compounds are combined in a small area and to be able to record the type of precipitate that is formed. Background: An ionic compound is formed when ions “transfer‚” or lose or gain electrons. The ions in an ionic compound are held together by ionic bonds in a lattice shaped structured. They are packed tightly together to maximize the attraction between the ions. When two compounds are mixed together‚ they form a precipitate

Soil properties: Some physical and chemical properties of the soil were measured‚ which are presented in Table 1. The availability of nutrients and even contaminants depends on the degree of soil acidity. The most suitable pH for soil microorganism’ activity is 7‚ as nutrient solubility depends on soil pH changes (Riser-Roberts‚ 1998). The soil used in the present study has neutral pH and therefore does not limit the activity of microorganisms or the solubility of nutrients except for phosphorus

Observing the and determining the reaction rate of photosynthesis in Ivy disks Background: All plants are autotrophs meaning they create their own food from inorganic chemicals in their surrounding. In the case of food‚ plants use CO2 to create glucose. In addition to the inorganic chemicals‚ plants use sunlight to create their glucose because the photosynthesis reaction is endothermic. The rate of this reaction‚ in turn‚ can be measures. And this lab uses oxygen which is created

Purpose: The purpose of the ‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister

In this lab‚ theoretical chemical equations of ionic compounds were balanced by the group to determine ratios of reactants and products. The products were determined by the group through switching the cation with their anion partner. Using this information‚ it was determined by the group‚ whether the reaction should result in a solid‚ gas‚ or water based on theoretical solubility. Then several experiments testing the reaction of these ionic compounds were performed by the partners. Two ionic compounds

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the speed at which a reaction took place between an iodine and hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition to a change in concentration‚ a change in temperature and a catalyst variable was also introduced to conclude whether or not their presence affected the overall speed of the reaction. In order to determine the effects of these variables‚ several iodine and hydrogen peroxide reactions were prepared‚ (all at varying temperatures‚ volumes‚ and concentrations)

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to separate and purify a compound. This was achieved using techniques that allowed the extraction of the acid‚ the isolation of the neutral compound and the melting point classification of the neutral compound to test the purity of the sample. Chemical Reactions: HA + OH- A- + H2O R-COOH + OH- R-COO- + H2O Organic Acid Insoluble in H2O Conjugate base Soluble in H2O Procedure: A 0.170g sample consisting of a mixture of 0.110g
