This reaction can be summed up using the following formula: 5Fe2++8H++MnO4- →5Fe3++Mn2++4H2O After standardization, the potassium permanganate solution is then titrated with 3 different magnesium oxalate solutions. To find the concentration of the C2O42- the balanced net ionic redox reaction formula is used: 5C2O42-+16H++2MnO4- →10CO2+2Mn2++8H2O It is important to note the addition of sulfuric acid (9M H2SO4) in performing this experiment because of the following reasons: 1) Sulfuric acid keeps the iron (II) from air oxidizing into iron (III) 2) Sulfuric acid keeps the iron (II) from hydrolyzing into Fe(OH)2 3) Sulfuric
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.
The technique of infrared spectroscopy, in both the solid and solution phases, has proved to be of very useful in these studies. In this experiment mononuclear metal carbonyl chemistry is observed with Molybdenum hexacarbonyl, [Mo(CO)6] (2). From there the synthesis pathway with each transition along the way being analyzed. This sequence of reactions is used to help one achieve a better understanding of the factors responsible in determining which ligands will be exchanged in a ligand substitution reaction involving an octahedral complex, and what might the dominant product stereochemistry be. Each of the three reactions are heated at reflux, cooled, and filtered, yielding their respective products.
How could it have been improved? (b) Based on your evidence, which anion could be used to precipitate most of the metal cations? (c) Which anion could be used to selectively remove silver ions from solution? Why? (d) What evidence suggests that nitrate compounds are soluble in water?
Focus Question Should chemists prepare Zinc Iodide, from its elements or from a Double Replacement Reaction between Barium Iodide and Zinc Sulfate? -To put things into perspective in terms of cost efficiency, zinc granules cost about $62.50 per kilogram or $.0625 per gram. Also, Iodine chips cost about $.1498, Barium Iodide Dihydrate costs about $.886 per gram, and Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate costs about $.0405 per gram. According the chemical reaction listed below, the double replacement reaction creates a solid Barium Sulfate precipitate This means that the ZnI2 is less pure than it would be from just the Zinc and the Iodine. With the elemental reaction you get ZnI2 as your only product thus indicated that it is “pure” Zinc Iodide.
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. The true molarity of a compound can be defined as the amount of moles per liter of that substance. The equation of this single displacement chemical reaction done during this lab is 2Al(s) + 3CuCl(aq) → 3Cu (s) + 2AlCl2 (aq). In the reaction, the solid Aluminum replaces the Copper in Copper (II) Chloride to produce solid copper, and Aluminum Chloride. In order to find which reactant is the limiting reactant, an equation based on the molarity of the Copper (II) Chloride may be used, or the products of the reaction may be observed.
The standard method for preparing amides was used. The amine was acetylated to protect the amino group during the permanganate oxidation done next. This step was crucial to the percent yield of the product. Due to this protection group, the methyl group is oxidized during the second step, using potassium permanganate as the oxidizing agent, without destroying the amino functional group. This step converts a violet solution of permanganate ion to a brown manganese dioxide precipitate.
Introduction Nucelophilic substitutions are chemical reactions in which an electron rich nucleophile attacks the electron poor electrophile1. There are two classes of nucelophilic reactions – SN1, and SN2. The SN1 reaction is a 2 step, uni-molecular reaction, which is independent of the nucleophile. It requires a highly substituted electrophile since there is a formation of a carbocation in its rate determining step, good polar protic solvents which stabilize the carbocation and a good leaving group1. On the other hand, a SN2 reaction is a concerted, bimolecular reaction which has one slow, transition state1.
One form of extractive metallurgy, called hydrometallurgy, uses aqueous solution chemistry for the recovery of metals from salts minerals or ores. The first step of hydrometallurgy, called extraction, is the process of removing metal from the ore. This is done by dissolving the metal in a suitable solvent, recovering the metal from the solution, and discarding the waste materials. The first step of extraction is leaching, in which the metal is dissolved in water or acid. Then the leach solution is purified by separating the waste from the desired materials.
Experiment: Cyclohexanone from Cyclohexanol aq Abstract: The primary objective of this experiment was to create cyclohexene from the dehydration of cyclohexanol with phosphoric acid. Through the use of simple distillation it was possible to separate the solution. The Agilent 7890A Gas Chromatography System was used to determine the purity of the distillate which verified the success of the separation. Introduction: Alkenes can be prepared by from alcohols by an acid catalyzed dehydration reaction. In the experiment a secondary alcohol (cyclohexanol) is heated with acid (phosphoric acid).
