With the use of this technique we placed chlorine, bromine, and iodine into solutions containing chloride, bromide, and iodide. In the reaction the free halogen (X2) oxidizes the other halide ion (Y-) and gets reduced by gaining electron(s). In table 3, chlorine was the strongest oxidizing agent and iodine was the weakest oxidizing agent. Since chlorine was the strongest oxidizing agent it will react more and the weak agent will react less. This explanation can be demonstrated in table 3 also because the results of the reactions demonstrates that chloride reacted more by the color of the product compared to the color of chloride in the mineral oil.
h) A way to make hard water softer is to put an sodium nitrate and create a precipitate to mellow out the reaction. Another way of making it softer is by removing the calcium ions one way of doing that is by boiling the solution to take out some of the ions. Conclusion: Overall, we determined that sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, is the anion that can be used to precipitate the most metal cations. Also, we learned that the anion sodium chloride, NaCl, could be used to remove silver ions from solutions. The stuff that I found interesting was that how many colours you can get when you mix the cations and anions
Abdul Gadoush Period 2 Chemistry Honors 1-16-14 Metal Gizmo 1. Purpose/Problem: The whole purpose to this experiment was to identify which metal of the following: Copper, Magnesium or zinc had the most occurring reactions in the constant chemicals that they were inserted in. The metal that had the least amount of reactions in each chemical would be the least reactant, and the metal that had the most occurring reactions in the chemical would be the most reactant. For this process to occur (make metal gizmos), Naugatuck Metal Works needs one highly reactive metal and another that isn't a reactive metal. - signs of chemical change = changes the shape and color, creates a gas, distributes heat, Etc.
What are the identities of the substances found after electrolysis and heating? The identities of the substances found were Iodine, Iodide ion (I-), Triodide ion(I3-), Zinc metal and Zinc ion(Zn2+) Post Lab questions: 1. What did this experiment convincingly show about the composition of the white solid? I put that the experiment showed us the white substance was comprised of Zinc ions and iodide ions, and that the two ions and be separated back into their respective elements 2. During the electrolysis, a gray solid formed on the negative wire of the battery and the dark red solution formed at the positive wire of the batter.
Focus Questions: 1) What happens Qualitatively on both the Macroscopic and Atomic levels when zinc, Iodine and Acidified Water are mixed? Does a Reaction Occur? On the Macroscopic Levels, there is no reaction. However, when Zinc and Iodine and Water are mixed together a color is formed in the solution and a release of heat occurs, an exothermic reaction. The color starts out as a reddish brown color, and then, when swirled, becomes a gold yellowish color, and slowly becomes transparent clear at the end of the reaction.
Some natural waters contain iron ions that affect the taste of the water and cause rust stains. Aeration converts any iron (II) ions into iron (III) ions. A basic solution (contains hydroxide ions) is added
I believe we did our procedures accurately. The precipitate was Zinc hydroxide which is amphoteric in nature. Meaning it can react both with acid and base to form salt. We got a white precipitate of zinc hydroxide and it reacted to make salt with both the base sodium hydroxide and the acetic acid. Our result would have been clearer to observe if we centrifuged it long enough because we might have lost some of the precipitate while washing it since it was not centrifuged long enough.
It cannot be found as a native metal in nature, The Social benefits and limitations of Zirconium Zirconium is used primarily as an alloying agent because it is highly resistant to corrosion from alkali, salt water, acids and many other possible sources of corrosion. Because of this it is often used in alloys that are used in objects exposed to acids a lot, such is surgical apparatus. This makes hospitals a safer place, because it reduces the chance of acid breaking or damaging tools, which in turn could result in patients getting injured. On the downside, powdered zirconium is highly flammable, and it can cause a type of tumor caused by inflammation or injury called a granuloma. This means that it can be very dangerous if kept in powdered form.
| Centrifuge: used to isolate the solid from the solution | . Focus Questions: When acidified water is not used in the zinc and iodine synthesis, zinc hydroxide is formed. How can it be identified based on the amphoteric nature. When zinc and iodine react without the presence of acetic acid in the water, zinc hydroxide forms. This is evident because the substance tested positive for both the acid test and the base test for zinc hydroxide.
The reaction that occurred with this step was displacement and metathesis in the form of gas formation. The balanced equation of this step looks as follows: CuSO4aq+Zns→Cus+ZnSO4(aq) Once this step was finished, the remaining copper was retrieved. First, to recover the copper HCl was added to remove all the zinc. When this happened, a yellow tint was observed in the liquid, as well as bubbling as the zinc was broken down. Once the copper dried out, it was weighed and came to a total of 240 mg.
