Lab Report: Physical and Chemical Changes
Purpose:
To investigate the difference between physical and chemical changes in matter.
Materials:
Safety glasses
13 small test tubes
Test tube rack
Test tube holder
2 100-mL beakers
Funnel
Watch glass
Stirring rod
Evaporating dish
Magnet
Magnifying glass
Crucible tongs
Spatula
Balance
Meeker burner
Ring stand
Iron ring
Wire gauze
Forceps
Sulfur
Iron filings
Sodium Bicarbonate
Sodium Chloride
Sugar
Sand
Magnesium ribbon
Hydrochloric Acid
Distilled water
Filter paper
9 disposable dishes
Procedure:
1. Label 7 of the dishes with the names of the following products: Sulfur, Iron, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Chloride, Sugar, Sand, and Magnesium. Place small samples of each in the appropriate dishes.
2. Examine each sample with a magnifying glass and magnet and record your observations in the data table.
3. Put small samples of each substance in a test tube along with 3 mL of water to determine their solubility.
4. Mix some of the Iron and Sulfur on a clean disposable dish and examine the mixture with a magnifying glass and magnet. Record your observations in the data table. Save and label this mixture.
5. Mix some of the sand and Sodium Chloride on a clean disposable dish and examine the mixture with a magnifying glass and magnet. Then, place this mixture in a clean 100-mL beaker. Add 30 mL of tap water and stir. Prepare a filtration setup, filter, and record your observations.
6. Pour 10 mL of the filtrate into an evaporating dish, prepare a heating setup, and gently heat until all of the liquid is gone. Examine the residue in the evaporating dish and on the filter paper.
7. Using the crucible tongs, hold a dry piece of Magnesium ribbon in the flame. Quickly place the burning ribbon on the watch glass. Compare the appearance of the ribbon before and after burning.
8. Place the burnt remnants of the Magnesium into a clean test tube, and add 10 drops of Hydrochloric acid to it. Also, add 10 drops to the original Magnesium. Feel the
