Classifying Chemical Reactions

Introduction
Pre-lab questions
1. Which reactants used in this experiment are flammable? Discuss the safety precautions that are necessary when working with flammable materials in the lab?
2. Summarize the following description of a chemical reaction in the form of a balanced chemical equation?
3. Common observations of a chemical reaction are described in the introduction section. For each observation, name a common or everyday occurrence that must involve a chemical reaction?
Research question
What is the appearance of reactant, Evidence of chemical reaction, and properties of a product?
Background information
The experiment is to observe a variety of chemical reactions and to identify patterns in the observation of reactants into products. The properties of the reactions will be analyzed to classify the chemical reactions into different groups.
Hypothesis
Reaction 1- My hypothesis for reaction 1 is that the magnesium ribbon will crumble. The explanation i have for this is that i when you put a object long enough on a fire it will probably crumble.
Reaction 2- My hypothesis for reaction 2 is that the magnesium metal ribbon will make. The test tube will become hot. When a burning wood split is placed in the mouth of the tube, the flame goes out and the remains go in the tube.
Reaction 3- My hypothesis for reaction 3 is that the moistened litmus paper changes color. The odor will be a chemical odor that smells bad. The burning splint will be extinguished.
Reaction 4- My hypothesis for reaction 4 is that adding hydrochloric acid to solid calcium carbonate produces bubbles maybe. When burning the splint is placed on the test tube, the flame is extinguished.
Reaction 5- My hypothesis for reaction 5 is that mozzy zinc in the test tube will make smoke come out of the tube
Reaction 6 - My hypothesis for reaction 6 is that when you add the 0.5 M of copper (11) chloride and mix it with the 0.5 M of sodium phosphate they will

    Step 2. I placed a small amount of Manganese into the test tube and added enough 3% H2O2 to nearly fill the test tube. Using the same rubber stopper/bulb mechanism, I collected the O2 gas that was synthesized. Once all of the water had been displaced, I lit a toothpick on fire and let it burn for a few seconds until it was extinguished. I removed the pipet bulb and inserted the glowing toothpick into the bulb and observed the glowing embers reignite momentarily.…

    Metallic bonding is a special type of bonding found in samples of pure metals or alloys (mixtures of metals). In a metal the nucleus and core electrons (i.e cations) are surrounded by a “sea” of valence electrons. Since the valence electrons are free to roam over the entire sample (they are described as delocalized), metals are good conductors of electricity in the solid state. Metals are typically lustrous (shiny), flexible, malleable…

    Whenever a reaction takes place, energy is changed as well when the substances react chemically. Scientists have taken these changes in energy and generalized them. Scientists can take these generalizations and discover more about the nature and tendencies of matter. In this lab, the purpose was to perform seven reactions, write down their equations, and identify the type of reaction. In this lab report, several methods of displaying this information will be applied.…

    A chemical reaction is a process in which the identity of at least one substance changes. A chemical equation represents the total chemical change that occurs in a chemical reaction using symbols and chemical formulas for the substances involved. Reactants are the substances that are changed and products are the substances that are produced in a chemical reaction.…
