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.
Rajeev Pathapati Limiting Reactant Lab Chemistry 6th Due: 2/9/12 Introduction: When a chemical reaction occurs, there is usually a limiting reactant. In a chemical reaction, the limiting reactant, also known as the limiting reagent, is the reactant that is totally consumed at the end of a chemical reaction, and is the reactant that limits the amount of product formed. This also results in excess of the other reactant(s). The reaction tested in this experiment was between a Copper (II) Chloride aqueous solution, and Aluminum metal. The purpose of the lab was to determine which reactant was the limiting reactant, and to see how much of the other reactant was used.
Once the procedure was performed three times, the collected iron fillings mass was obtained by using the digital weighing scale. After removing the iron fillings, the sand was removed next by using the property of sand that the sand was completely insoluble in the water. The iron free solids mixture was dissolved in 15.00 mille liters of distal water and heated by using stove top in a beaker. The solution was mixed for a while the benzoic acid and salt were allowed to dissolve completely and solubility was enhanced by heating the solution. The solution was decanted into another beaker.
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
Name: 6.03: Calorimetry Data and Observations: Part I: Insert a complete data table, including appropriate significant figures and units, in the space below. Also include any observations that you made over the course of part I. (4 points) I observed that when the metal is placed inside the calorimeter, it transfers heat to the water making the water increase temperature while the metal will decrease temperature. I also noticed that the system was the metal and the surroundings is the water, this is because the water is taking in the heat from the metal making the water warm. Metal Name Mass of Metal Volume of water Initial temp.
We resulted that lead, silver, and copper are the strongest oxidizing agents, and that magnesium and zinc are the weak oxidizing agents. The strong oxidizing agent oxidized the weak oxidizing agent and in turn the strong oxidizing agent got reduced while oxidizing the weak agent. When a reaction occurred, the solid metal reduced the ion, and in turn made it the more reactive metal. In part two we used a solvent extraction technique to derive an activity series for the halogens. With the use of this technique we placed chlorine, bromine, and iodine into solutions containing chloride, bromide, and iodide.
- signs of chemical change = changes the shape and color, creates a gas, distributes heat, Etc. - Chemical Change= Substance is formed into a completely new substance 2. Hypothesis: If the copper is being tested in these metals ( Copper, Magnesium and cupric chloride) then it would be the least reactive out of magnesium and zinc because it is the lowest among the three on the activity series. 3. Experimental Design: - Independent Variable: different types of metals: magnesium, zinc and Copper - Dependent Variable: amount of reactants observed for each metal - Control : The Air -Constants: The amount of chemical solutions, the time the metals were in the chemical solutions and size of each metal during the experiment 4.
Using a Buchner funnel, a hose, and a suction flask we created a vacuum filtrator which we used to help remove the remaining liquid on the copper so that we may make a more precise measurement of the mass of the remaining copper. Our final mass of copper was .7951 grams. Results and Discussion: Initial Mass of Cu: .25 grams When we mixed the 5 ml of 6 molar HNO3 the copper had disappeared, indicating it had been used in the reaction. The copper had undergone a single replacement reaction and a decomposition reaction. Initial equation: Cu(s) + HNO3(aq) -> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + NO2(g) +H2O(l) Balanced: Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) -> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l) The copper had replaced the Hydrogen in the HNO3 and the NO3 had also broken down into NO2 and O2- allowing the H+ to bond with it and create
high melting point, hard, brittle, slightly soluble in water, conductor of electricity when melted or in solution Molecular solid - crystalline solid that has molecules arranged in a particular configuration. low melting point, generally insoluble in water, nonconductor of electricity. Metallic solid - crystalline solid that has atoms of metals arranged in a definite pattern. low to high melting point, malleable, ductile, conductor of electricity, insoluble in most solvents. Lesson 13.6 Changes of physical state: * necessary to draw a temperature-energy graph to see the change in temperature with a constant application of heat Heat of fusion - the amount of heat required to melt 1.00 g of substance.
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. As Zinc and Iodine is reacting, the bottom of the test tube would become hot, but slowly, about 5-10 minutes, will begin to cool down to room temperature. On the atomic levels, the atoms of both Zinc and Iodine are reacting causing that exothermic reaction to occur. The atoms would combine together to form ZnI2, and cause a color change because of the interaction between the particles. When the water is evaporated, a white compound of zinc iodide is formed.
