Acetic Acid-Base Reaction
The results of this experiment generally show the mass of the bottles did not change after the reaction of sodium bicarbonate and vinegar. The reaction is an acid-base reaction, the base being sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and the acetic acid (CH3COOH) in the vinegar. One of the products of this reaction is carbon dioxide, this happens when the hydrogen atom in the acetic acid meets up with the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the baking soda to form a molecule of water, while the acetate ion (CH3COO) grabs onto the sodium atom and forms a salt, sodium acetate (C2H3NaO2) . The carbon dioxide molecule, free of its other chemical bonds, can now escape, and bubbles forth as a

    Percent by Mass of Naco3 in Alka-Seltzer

    The objective of the lab was to measure the % of NaCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different measures of an acidic solution (Vinegar). Through understanding of stoichiometric relationships and limiting reactants, quantities of substances yielded or consumed in a reaction can be determined by analyzing the amount of material involved. A vinegar-water solution is employed in this experiment because a fixed amount of NaCO3 can be reacted in pure water, by manipulating the amount of vinegar in the dissolving solution, the amount of acid capable of reacting increases; resulting in a greater amount of NaCO3 reacted and greater generation of CO2. Percent by mass of NaCO3 that has reacted can be determined by using mass difference and dimensional analysis to relate the amount of CO2 produced to the amount NaCO3.…

    Mystery Mixtures Lab Report

    After examining seven additional substances, there were many pieces of evidence that help conclude that the mystery mixture ( number 8) is composed of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the same as mixture six . At first when just observing the dry mixtures, it was hard to determine which ones were identical to the mystery mixture. In order to figure out which substances combined to make the mystery mixture, another process we followed was adding water to the substances and observing the reaction. Adding water to the mixtures resulted in a chemical reaction. The materials fizzed and bubbled due to the reaction.…

    Acid-Base Titration Lab Report

    Even when there was pink color, it often lasted only for a few short seconds until it was swirled away. The actual point of neutralization was a drop before the solution turned pink, but the results from one drop after was close enough. The volume of NaOH that was put into the vinegar was 25.50-mL. The amount of NaOH one drop before that would have been ideal but that did not have a large affect on the data. For this lab, two trials were performed to decide if mistakes were made in the first trial. The completion of two trials completed to help rule out any obvious experimental errors. If mistakes were made in the single trial, the mistakes were not as easily picked up on. I believe the results were generally accurate, although experimental error could have been a factor by inaccurate measurement readings, as well as inaccurate judging of when the pink color was what it was suppose to be. In trial 2 of the experiment, the volume of NaOH that was put into the vinegar was 25.45-mL. The average of the volume in liters was 0.02498-mL. The volume of NaOH in trial #1: 25.50-mL, and trial #2: 25.45-mL at a concentration of 0.1817M. It seemed accurate that the mass of the acetic acid in the vinegar was .2726g. The comparison between those two trials is understandable because there was much more NaOH then vinegar.…

    Purpose: In this lab, I will observe macroscopic changes that occur when mixing together certain chemicals and household cleaners. The mixing of the chemicals provided with each other and with acid/base indicators demonstrates how matter can change, and how chemistry can be seen with the naked eye. By mixing household cleaners with an acid/base indicator I hope to demonstrate how these changes can be related to everyday life.…

    Baking Soda Experiment

    The two reactants, which are baking soda and vinegar, react with each other. Then it creates product, carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate. The chemical name of vinegar is ethanoic acid and baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate. To illustrate this phenomenon as a chemical equation, it can be shown as C_2 H_4 O_2+NaHCO_3→ NaC_2 H_3 O_2+H_2 O+〖CO〗_2. The observation of chemical reaction was bubble creation with fizzing sound.…

    A. Suppose a household product label says it contains sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate). How would you test this material for the presence of sodium bicarbonate? I would test it with several chemicals to see if I would get the reaction like I did in this experiment. The chemical that would prove the presence of sodium bicarbonate is adding HCl and if bubbles are formed, we have proved the…

    Research Paper

    The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the scientist can conclude in which temperature of water an Alka-Seltzer tablet has the fastest reaction time. The scientist will measure the time of reaction in temperature of water several times to come to an accurate conclusion. “With an Alka-Seltzer tablet, the CO2 is produced as result of a chemical reaction” (Spangler, 2010). The chemical reaction that occurs when the tablet interacts with a substance is known as effervescence. This process produces immediately creates bubbles or “fizzes” and is the product of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and citric acid reacting to form sodium citrate and carbon dioxide gas; which is the main reaction that is known by alka-seltzer tablets. (Chemistry of Effervescence, 2008).…

    Effervescent

    This lesson will have students investigating the effect of temperature on a simple chemical reaction, effervescent tablets bubbling in water. (Be sure to use uncoated tablets.) The students will design an experiment to test their hypotheses and gather data to create and support their conclusions. We will provide students with warm water, cold water, and room-temperature tap water. Students will have access to various probes, including the temperature probe. We expect students will measure the temperature of the different samples of water before adding the tablets. We will have a discussion with students about what they think those bubbles are prior to letting them design and conduct their experiments. Some may choose to measure CO2 as well, after this discussion.…
