Reaction Types In this lab we were give 9 different elements and had to determine if they were Single Displacement, Double Displacement, Synthesis, Decomposition and Combustion. A.) Aluminum and Copper (II) Chloride, my hypothesis is a Single Displacement. B.) Calcium Carbide and Water, my hypothesis is a Double Displacement. C.) Zinc and Hydrochloric Acid, my hypothesis is a Single Displacement. D.) Alcohol and Oxygen, my hypothesis is a Combustion. E.) Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Iodide, my hypothesis a Double displacement. F.) Copper and oxygen, my hypothesis is a synthesis. G Magnesium and oxygen, my hypothesis is a synthesis. H.) Acetic acid and Sodium bicarbonate, my hypothesis is a double displacement. I.) Copper (II) carbonate and Hydrochloric acid, my hypothesis is a double displacement. Data: Attached.
Conclusion:
Experiment A. Aluminum and Copper (II) Chloride. In this experiment I filled a large test tube with one dropper full of Copper (II) Chloride solution. Then, I added a small pice of aluminum foil and the observed. In my observation the aluminum started to burn and dissolved. Yes, my hypothesis was correct for this experiment.

Experiment B. Calcium Carbide and Water. In this experiment I filled a large test tube with one dropper full of water. Secondly, I added one piece of calcium carbide. Then, I added a flaying wood splint to the test tube. In my observation it started to bubble and made a popping noise. Yes, my hypothesis was correct for this experiment. Experiment C. Zinc and Hydrochloric acid. First I filled a large test tube with 1 dropped full of HCl. Then I got a second test ready. Then, I placed a small amount of zinc in the first test tube and immediately placed the second test tube. Then my partner took a flaming wood splint and placed it between the two test tubes. In my observation it smoked and make a boom sound. Yes, my hypothesis was correct in this experiment.

Experiment D. Alcohol and Oxygen. This

    Metals are mined from ores, considering yield to see if it is economically viable for a business to mine at a particular site. However, due to environmental damage and global warming, recycling has increased globally to create a sustainable future. By examining the cost and energy expenditure of recycling and extracting aluminium we can understand why recycling is a better choice than extracting metal from its ore.…

    Here are some questions about the elements, their properties, and periodicity. In each case, the correct answer is the name of an element (one of the two given). Write the answer in the appropriate space at the right, placing the first letter in the first blank. There are more than enough blanks to fit either element name, so the number of letters in the name cannot be used as a clue. When the puzzle is complete, the Periodic Law will be displayed in the highlighted column.( by Bronwyn J. Nelson, Fairfield High School, Fairfield, Ohio.)…

    In this experiment, I observed substances in their natural state, and recorded their apparent physical properties. I then tested the substances to determine how they react when their natural environments were altered. The pure substances were tested to see how they reacted with added Hydrochloric Acid, Dilute NaOH, heat, cold and hot water. I also was to determine if the substances were acidic or basic after being heated in water, by using litmus paper.…

    I gathered my materials from the material list and set up my data table. I combined the zinc and HCl, then captured the Hydrogen that was produced and observed the combustion reaction with a flame. I then captured more hydrogen to use later in the experiment. I combined manganese with hydrogen peroxide which bubbled much the same as the zinc and HCl to produce oxygen. I observed the reaction of the oxygen with a burning ember. I then captured more oxygen in the bulb with the hydrogen, and observed itʼs reaction of extinguishing the flame. I then produced carbon dioxide in a few different ways. Put lime water in a well, mixed baking soda and vinegar, and observed the limewater turning murky and grey, an indication of CO2. Then did the same with a well of bromothymol blue which indicated an acid. I exposed this gas to a flame and the flame extinguished immediately. I then combined alka-seltzer and water, and inserted the gas into the lime water again. I then tested the CO2 from my breath with the lime water.…

    Aluminum Foil Lab Report

    • 479 Words
    • 2 Pages

    One possible source of scientific error that could be present in the experiment is that when placing the aluminum foil onto the center of the pan, the flame under foil in centered only at the centered. The unknown substances are placed around the side of the aluminum foil, only allowing the flame’s heat to hit the center of the aluminum foil and the area around it. This possible source of error may have affected the outcomes of the experiment because the unknown substances present on the foil may not have been heated evenly, resulting in uneven temperatures for each unknown substance. The substances most closest to the center would receive the most heat from the flame, causing a high temperature, whereas the substances least closest to the center would receive the least heat from the flame, causing a low temperature. This would affect the results because if the heat from the flame was not able to reach a substance, that substance may not have had enough heat for it to melt, affecting the results dramatically.…
