EXPERIMENT 4B: THE MENDELEEV LAB OF 1869 Materials: 30 element cards‚ periodic table Aim: How can we identify elements based on their propeties? Background: Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited as being the first chemist to observe patterns emerge when the elements are arranged according to their properties. Mendeleev’s arrangement of the elements was unique because he left blank spaces for elements that he claimed were undiscovered as of 1869. Mendeleev was so confident

study a set of metals and their reactions reactions using different metals in an ordered activity series‚ the goal is to find the relative reactivity of them.Discovering why metals react with certain cations and solutions is the main point of this lab. This has many real life applications. When creating buildings‚ or bridges it is important to understand and counter-act the rusting of iron. You can do that by using the activity series. For any industry using metals‚ this is important. Manufacturing

October 1‚ 2013 Chemical Reactions of Copper Objective The objective of this lab is to convert copper (Cu0) “in a series of reactions to various compound containing copper as the Cu2+ species” (CHM111 Laboratory Manual) in order to prove the Law of the Conservation of Mass. Introduction In this experiment‚ we took a look at how copper (Cu0) reacts with different substances to get an end result where it is transformed back to its original state. There were five different reactions that involved
