Hydrochloric acid (HCl):
Hydrochloric acid is a strong and corrosive acid that is often used as a reagent in laboratories.
It is made by dissolving hydrogen chloride in water. 17
Hydrochloric acid is polar substance and has a linear shape with an electronegativity difference of 0.9; it has weak dipole-dipole forces/bonds between its molecules (intermolecular forces) and polar covalent forces/bonds between the chloride and hydrogen ions (Intramolecular forces). (5) HCl has a molar mass of 36.4609 g.mol-1. HCl is fully miscible in water as it forms hydrogen bonds with the water. Hydrochloric acid has a melting point of 247K and a boiling point of 321K if in a 38% solution. 17
HCl has many uses in industry.
It is used in the production of dyes, fertilizers, and chlorides as well as in electroplating and in the photographic, textile and rubber industries.
Hydrochloric acid is a dangerous substance and is corrosive

Oxalic acid is both a Bronsted-Lowry and an Arrhenius acid. 10
It mainly exists as H2C2O4.2H2O, which is known as oxalic acid dihydrate. The 2H2O attached to the oxalic acid means that for every one molecule of Oxalic acid there is, there will be 2 molecules of water. This makes it predictable and allows for the standardization of NaOH. The reaction between NaOH and Oxalic acid dihydrate is as follows:
H2C2O4 .2H2O + 2NaOH → Na2C2O4 + 4H2O
This is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.
Oxalic acid dihydrate is a diprotic acid acid and can therefore give away 2 protons (hydrogen ions). It is a reducing agent. Oxalic acid dihydrate is a primary standard acid which is a solid acid and whose mass is an accurate measure of the number of moles of H+ ions it will furnish and is therefore used in the titration with
In Chemistry 221, we are learning how to name acids. In this lab we used hydrochloric acid (HCl), the reason I knew it was called “hydrochloric” was due to the rules of naming acids. When there is no oxygen involved, the “hydro” prefix is put in front, followed by the root of the second element (which happened to be chlorine) and then add the suffix –ic at the end.
In our experiment we utilized the hydrate cobaltous chloride. Hydrates are crystalline compounds in which one or more molecules of water are combined with each unit of a salt. Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate is an inorganic compound which is a deep rose color in its hydrated form. As an inducer of
DH=-285.5 kJ/mol. In this investigation, we will be working with potentially dangerous chemicals and safety precautions must be made. Magnesium oxide is a respiratory and eye irritant, the dust must not be inhaled and all work with MgO should be conducted in the fume hood ( Cartwright, 2002). Hydrochloric acid is extremely corrosive, inhalation of the vapor can cause serious injury, ingestion could be fatal, and the liquid can cause severe damage to the skin and eyes; when working with HCl splash goggles and gloves should be worn, and work should be conducted in a well ventilated area (Cartwright, 2002). Materials and Methods --------------------- Goggles - Lab apron - Magnesium oxide MgO - 1g. Lab balance 100mL graduated cylinder Hydrochloric acid HCl - 200mL/.5M. - 2 plastic foam cups - thermometer - cover for cup - Magnesium (Mg) ribbon - 600mL beaker (base for calorimeter) - 400mL beaker (transportation of acid).
Dehydroascorbic acid and iodide ions are produced when ascorbic acid and iodine solution are mixed. Iodine has a brown color in solution whereas iodide
Apparatus: * 1 measuring cylinder * 1 test tube * 1 stop clock * A large gelatine cube containing indicator and NaOH * Hydrochloric acid ranging from 1-3 molars * A scalpel Diagram: Method: * Take the large gelatine cube and cut into 15 equal pieces * Place on piece of the cube into the test tube * Measure out 10mls of HCl in the measuring cylinder * Pour the HCl into the test tube with the gelatine cube and start the clock * Time how long it takes for the pink colour inside the gelatine cube to completely disappear * You will also notice that the cube dissolves slightly * Record your results and repeat this same process 3 times for each molar of acid: § 1 molar § 1.5 molar § 2 molar
Rate of Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Plan: In my experiment I will measure the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The rate of the reaction is the speed that the reaction takes place so by measuring the rate I will measure the amount of time the reaction takes. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid that is found in digestive juices in the stomach, it is also used for cleaning metals before they are coated. Calcium carbonate has a few forms including chalk and limestone the main use of these two materials is in the making of concrete, which is used for many things such as buildings. When you put calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid together they react to form calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
Catalase are an enzyme that catalyses the reduction of hydrogen peroxide into H2O and O2. Catalase are a common enzyme that can be found in almost all living organisms such as potatoes. It is specifically found in the cells that are exposed to oxygen and can be in a plant or animal cell. [1]
the chances of collisions increase thus giving a faster rate of reaction. Then the s Apparatus:.

Measure out 10cm3 of hydrochloric acid, as the concentration requires. for each concentration its composition is.
2H2O(aq) à 2H2O(l) + O2 (g) It is able to speed up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide because the shape of its active site matches the shape of the hydrogen peroxide molecule. This type of reaction were a molecule is broken down into smaller pieces is called an anabolic reaction. I will be studying the effect of concentration of the catalase in this reaction. Hypothesis Hydrogen peroxide will breakdown to oxygen in water in the presence of catalase.
The late sixties were a time filled with sex, drugs, and rock and roll. A huge part of American culture at the time was focused around these three things. Musicians possessed a tremendous amount of social influence, and like wise, society put a lot of emphasis on the lives and attitudes of musicians. Of the rock groups from this time period, the Beatles were by far the most influential. The British rock group was probably the most catalytic band in rock and roll history. Although they came together in the shadow of the Beatles, another band of that era was Jefferson Airplane. Jefferson Airplane was deemed the first of the San Francisco psychedelic rock groups. Jefferson Airplane was always considered to be a psychedelic rock group, but it was not until later in their existence that the Beatles fell into this category as well. Both groups earned this title for their creative style of rock as well as for their experimentation with drugs. Each of these groups wrote songs that alluded to drug use at one time or another. Two of the most criticized songs from these bands are Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles, and White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. White Rabbit is a song latent with drug references. The connection with drugs in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is not as clear. Although John Lennon claims that he had no intention of making references to LSD in his song, the abstract lyrics and metaphoric language invite drug connotation. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and White Rabbit mirror each other in their association with LSD and their allusions to Alice in Wonderland, but looking into these songs more deeply it is obvious that both artists were writing about escape; escaping reality.
- The amount of times the mixture was stirred. We stirred the mixture until the Ammonium Nitrate was dissolved, so the amount of times we stirred after each teaspoon was different.

Also the investigation will be performed in a sensible manner and there is no dangerous behaviour. Prediction When the experiment is taking place I believe that the magnesium in the hydrochloric acid will begin to bubble and then disappear, I also
