· Do not eat
· Use smallest amounts possible on a watch glass to prevent
contamination of the bottle

afterwards

with cold water and seek medical advice

Method and material
1. I carefully measured out 10 cm3 silver nitrate using a 10cm3
measuring cylinder for accuracy. I did this over a sink, and then I
poured the...

...d also mean that the safety points are probably larger
because there is a risk of more being spilt so it would cause more
damage. The silver nitrate is also produced to a higher level of
accuracy as less is wasted and that means more profit.

Observations during procedure
I observed that the washings that I collected after I filter out the
precipitate was cloudy showing that it still had particles of silver
nitrate as that is a insoluble salt and does not dissolve in water.

Summary
This experiment prepared silver chloride by a precipitation reaction
between silver nitrate and sodium chloride. The silver chloride was
filtered and the yield calculated.
The purpose for this lab was to use aluminum from a soda can to form a chemical compound known as hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate. In the lab aluminum waste were dissolved in KOH or potassium sulfide to form a complex alum. The solution was then filtered through gravity filtration to remove any solid material. 25 mLs of sulfuric acid was then added while gently boiling the solution resulting in crystals forming after cooling in an ice bath. The product was then collected and filter through vacuum filtration. Lastly, crystals were collected and weighed on a scale.
2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol. The molecular weight of this compound is 146.2g/mol. It is converted into 2-ethyl-1-hydroxyhexan-3-one. This compounds molecular weight is 144.2g/mol. This gives a theoretical yield of .63 grams. My actual yield was .42 grams. Therefore, my percent yield was 67%. This was one of my highest yields yet. I felt that this was a good yield because part of this experiment is an equilibrium reaction. Hypochlorite must be used in excess to push the reaction to the right. Also, there were better ways to do this experiment where higher yields could have been produced. For example PCC could have been used. However, because of its toxic properties, its use is restricted. The purpose of this experiment was to determine which of the 3 compounds was formed from the starting material. The third compound was the oxidation of both alcohols. This could not have been my product because of the results of my IR. I had a broad large absorption is the range of 3200 to 3500 wavenumbers. This indicates the presence of an alcohol. If my compound had been fully oxidized then there would be no such alcohol present. Also, because of my IR, I know that my compound was one of the other 2 compounds because of the strong sharp absorption at 1705 wavenumbers. This indicates the presence of a carbonyl. Also, my 2,4-DNP test was positive. Therefore I had to prove which of the two compounds my final product was. The first was the oxidation of the primary alcohol, forming an aldehyde and a secondary alcohol. This could not have been my product because the Tollen’s test. My test was negative indicating no such aldehyde. Also, the textbook states that aldehydes show 2 characteristic absorption’s in the range of 2720-2820 wavenumbers. No such absorption’s were present in my sample. Therefore my final product was the oxidation of the secondary alcohol. My final product had a primary alcohol and a secondary ketone
At this point the identity of the unknown compound was hypothesized to be calcium nitrate. In order to test this hypothesis, both the unknown compound and known compound were reacted with five different compounds and the results of those reactions were compared. It was important to compare the known and unknown compounds quantitatively as well to ensure that they were indeed the same compound. This was accomplished by reacting them both with a third compound which would produce an insoluble salt that could be filte...

I knew that my non-metallic ion was Nitrate (NO3). I found this out after doing the precipitate test. I tested each known compound with silver nitrate as well as my unknown compound and found that it reacted by turning foggy, just like Sodium Nitrate. I saw in that formula that Nitrate was the non-metal since it was stated last, so I didn’t include Sodium.
A precipitation reaction can occur when two ionic compounds react and produce an insoluble solid. A precipitate is the result of this reaction. This experiment demonstrates how different compounds, react with each other; specifically relating to the solubility of the compounds involved. The independent variable, will be the changing of the various chemical solutions that were mixed in order to produce different results. Conversely the dependent variable will be the result of the independent variable, these include the precipitates formed, and the changes that can be observed after the experiment has been conducted. The controlled variable will be the measurement of ten droplets per test tube.
Salt is made up of sodium and chlorine and it is a natural occurrence on our planet, it can be found and harvested mainly from the seas, oceans or salt lakes. However salt can also be mined from within the earth from dried up underground seas, normally it’s only used as road salt (maldonsalt). The product salt has multiple functions, Salt is used to preserve foods and also to flavor foods, salt can also be used as a stabilizer in water and rock salt is used to melt ice during the winter (Freeman, 2007).

1. The labels have fallen off of three bottles thought to contain hydrochloric acid, or sodium chloride solution, or sodium hydroxide solution. Describe a simple experiment which would allow you to determine which bottle contains which solution.
2nd step heat the mixture: Make sure the agarose dissolves. Wait until it boils and when you are going to transfer the mixture, wear gloves to avoid getting burnt. Transfer the mixture into a removable gel tray.
In a 100ml beaker place 50mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved.
The purpose of this lab to find if some certain compounds are made up of ionic or covalent bonds and to determine the properties of these compounds. This lab relates to the things we have been learning in class because compounds are part of our everyday life, so it’s nice to know some of the characteristics about it. In this lab we poured a small amount of the sample to a piece of labeled filter paper. To test the hardness, we separated a small amount of the sample and tried to crush it with the spatula. Next, we tested the conductivity of the sample by pouring each beaker with 30 mL of water. Then, Replace a paper clips on the edge of the beaker and if they were secure and partially under water. We then connected the wires to a battery and
6. I then rinsed out the beaker and glass rod into the flask to make
In short, we can recall that the hypothesis is sodium chloride increases the swimming behavior of the Paramecium tertaurelia. Our |t-calculated|, as shown in Table 2, is less than the t-critical value from the table, therefore our averages for both the experimental group and control group are not significantly different enough, statistically speaking. As a result, our hypothesis is not supported. In this case, we accept the null hypothesis, which states that the sodium chloride has no effect on the swimming speed of the Paramecia tetraurelia and it is thus, supported. According to the results for the t-test, our t-calculated is less than the t-critical; therefore, we are less than 95% confident that the swimming speed increases. These results
