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 18: Alka Seltzer and the Ideal Gas Law

Image
Lab 18: Alka Seltzer and the Ideal Gas Law Summary: In this lab, we determined the amount of CO2 that was given off from the two Alka Seltzer tablets reacting with the water. We used it in the ideal gas law to determine how much gas was produced after the reaction occurred. After crushing the Alka Seltzer, we filled the balloon with the powder and when the powder reacted with the water, it produced CO2 that filled the balloon. When the reaction stopped, with no more fizzing from the reaction, we measured the circumference of the balloon. After measuring the circumference, we filled the balloon to the same size with water to find the volume. Finding the volume of the balloon helped to find the amount of CO2 in the balloon when using the Ideal Gas Law. Data Table: Calculations: Analysis Questions: 1. There are several experimental errors that may have occurred during this experiment, some being when measuring the circumference of the gas filled balloon accurately,...

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 2: Determining the Thickness of Aluminum Foil Write Up

Image
Lab 2: Determining the Thickness of Aluminum Foil Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to find the thickness of a square piece of aluminum foil. Since we could not measure the height of the aluminum foil with the ruler, we needed to find a different method to find the thickness, this leading to the purpose of the experiment.  Procedure: Step 1: Measure the length and width of the foil using a ruler. (Length = 10.10 & Width = 9.9) Step 2: Measure the mass of the aluminum foil on the scale. (Mass = .40) Step 3: Use the equation (Volume = Mass/Density) (.148 = .4 / 2.7) Step 4: Using the volume, find what the thickness(height) of the aluminum foil. (0.148 = 10.10 (9.9) H---->0.0148mm) Step 5: Turn number into a significant figure and convert centimeters into millimeters. (0.0148cm-->0.0015cm-->.015mm) Data: Thickness(Height)= 0.0015cm                         ...
