Lab 7: Reactions Lab

Reactions Lab

Purpose:

The purpose of the reactions lab was to test the effect of solid elements over liquid or aqueous compounds or to see the effect of what certain elements can do to others.

Favorite Reaction

Although I was unable to personally experience the reactions, I did watch some on youtube and my favorite one was the magnesium metal ribbon reacting with oxygen to create the ultraviolet light.

Lab 14: Create a Smell Lab: Ester Synthesis

Image
Lab 14: Create a Smell Lab: Ester Synthesis During this lab, we learned how a molecule can be changed into a different molecule using chemistry. We created different smells with acids like salicylic acid, acetic acid and sulfuric acid. Along with the acid's there were also alcohols that we used including isopentyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. We transformed the smells into esters by mixing certain alcohols with acids to create an initial smell and when put into the hot water it changed into an ester. 1. The odors of the first mixture before heating was a sharp, sour candy with a medicinal smell and after heating it was a sweeter smell of banana laffy taffy's with a hint of a nail polish smell. The odors of the second mixture before heating was a smelly vinegar and after heating it was an intense nail remover smell. The odors of the third mixture was a sweet/sour, sour patch kids candy smell and after heating it smelled like minty, wint o green lifesavers. They are differ...

Lab 4: Atomic Mass of Candium

Image
Atomic Mass of Candium Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to find the average atomic mass of the element candium. To test this we used three candium isotopes being, M&M's, Pretzel M&M's and Skittles. Average Atomic Mass: .77 amus Conclusions: 1. Ask a group nearby what their average atomic mass was. Why would your average atomic mass be different than theirs? Another groups average atomic mass was 1.0 amus. Our average would be different than others because the variations of the isotopes and weight was different for each group. 2. If larger samples of candium were used, for example if I gave you a whole backpack filled with candium, would the differences between your average atomic mass and others' average atomic masses be bigger or smaller? Defend your answer. The average atomic masses would be smaller because there would be more amounts of candium meaning a larger amount to divide among and the weight of the outliers would round out. 3. If you took any ...

Lab 15: Evaporation and Intermolecular Attractions

Image
Lab 15: Evaporation and Intermolecular Attractions  Purpose: In this lab, we had five different substances that we measured the difference in temperature before anf after letting the liquid evaporate for four minutes. The purpose of this lab was to figure out the strongest intermolecular bond out of the five substances. Pre Lab Table: Lab Data: Questions:  2. The difference that Methanol had was -15  °C, Ethanol at -9.3 °C, n-Butanol with -3 °C, Glycerin at 3.7 °C and lastly Water at -3.4 °C. Between all five of the substances, the one with the biggest difference was Methanol with -15 °C which also shows has the weakest bond. While Glycerin with 3.7 °C has the strongest bond. The differences in the initial temperature and final temperature helps us understand the strength of the bond. This is because where there is a higher difference, there is a weaker bond and with a smaller difference there is a stronger bond. The differences in temperature for...
