Lab 12: Electron Configuration Battleship

Lab 12: Electron Configuration Battleship

When you lose...

Biggest Challenge

The biggest challenge while playing the electron configuration battleship was figuring out where she placed her ships on the periodic table and guessing strategically where they were. Along with that, the pronunciation of certain elements. 

Learned

Some things that I learned while playing the electron configuration battleship was how to quickly read the electron configuration as I played as well as a better understanding of it. I also learned a new, different way of playing battleship with the periodic table and the electron configuration.

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

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 ...
