Reactant Lab Report
Explore the relationship between reactants producing a product and product breaking apart to its original reactant. Watch as both reactant and product reach a state of balance. No pressure greater than one another.

Collision model provides characteristics of chemical reaction. Molecules must collide in order to react; and Characteristics such as higher concentrations, high temperature, etc. plays the role of increasing the speed of reaction or having more collisions. Scientists use collision model to understand why some molecules react and some do not. Also see how strong collision can break the bond of molecules to produce the product. molecules collision needs energy to break bonds. Molecules needs a certain minimum energy (activation energy) so a

the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change. Any increase on the product or reactant will move to the opposite direction of the increased product/reactant. Decrease in VOL. (increase in pressure) will shift to the side with fewer gas molecules. Increase in VOL. (decrease in pressure) will shift to the side with more gas molecules. If the temp. increase, the equilibrium will shift away from the heat. The opposite would happen when the temp. decrease. Decrease temp. will shift toward the heat. (Heat is determined by whether the equation is an endo or exothermic. Endothermic consume heat, exo. generates heat.

Equilibrium constants can be obtained from the ratio written from equilibrium expressions. The ratio of product over reactant will give K (known as the constant). If k is greater than 1, then equilibrium favors product. If k is less than 1, the equilibrium favors reactant.For gases that do not follow the ideal gas laws, using activities, a dimensionless ratio, will accurately determine the equilibrium constant that changes when concentration or pressure varies. Thus, the units are canceled and K becomes

    The purpose of the lab was to find out the chemical elements based on the color of the flame that elements make by their reaction. The work we completed in the lab was testing the chemical effects of the flame from the chemicals. We tested different elements and wrote down our observations. I accomplished the knowledge of testing chemicals and making responses based on our observations.Electrons are the particles found in the chemicals that may be responsible for the production of colored light. The excitement caused by heating makes the electrons jump from their ground state into a higher energy level. An electron can absorb the amount of energy that will promote it to a higher electric shell. When an electron goes into this state it becomes…

    In this lab the standard heat of combustion of magnesium was calculated by using the calorimeter. Also, the point of combustion of magnesium was to see how much heat would be released from fireworks such as sparklers. The concept of this lab was to find the difference in temperature from the beginning to end of combustion of magnesium and calculate the standard heat of combustion of magnesium by using the calorimeter and a thermometer. By using the thermometer, we found out the change in temperature which helped to find the specific heat of water. The reactions were exothermic because of heat that was released into the surroundings from the reaction. Exothermic is a reaction of process that releases energy in the form of heat. Also, the Q that was measured is –Q of the reaction because Q system = -Q Water. After the difference in temperature from beginning to end of the reaction was taken, the Q = m∙c∙ΔT was used to find the Q of Water and system. Then 1 mole was converted into kilojoule per mole. The kilojoule per mole calculated was used in Hess’s law in order to calculate delta H. As there are always some errors in a lab, the amount of hydrochloric acid could have been off by ±1 or 2mL. When the thermometer was put into the calorimeter, it made a hole which helped the heat to escape from the calorimeter. Also the initial temperature of the water could have been different for every reaction. The percent error in our lab was -4.89%.…

    Chemical reactions don’t typically go to completion. Instead, the system goes to an intermediate state where the rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction equal each other. At this point, the concentrations do not change with time. These reactions are said to be in equilibrium. Equilibrium is depended on a particular temperature, and the concentrations of reactants and products have to follow a rule demonstrated by the equilibrium constant Kc.…

    According to Boyle’s Law, the volume of any given amount of gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure. In other words, when the pressure increases the volume decreases. When pressure decreases, volume increases. This can be derived from the following equation:…

    The experiment is testing for the formation of precipitates caused by different limiting reactants. A precipitate results in a solid formed by an ionic compound. Calcium nitrate and copper sulfate will be added to separate beakers with approximately half of the solutions from the Büchner funnel system of each trial to test for the formation of precipitates. The limiting reactant is the reactant that will run out first in the chemical reaction. It is important to recognize which chemical or compound is the limiting reactant because the reactant in short supply limits the quantity of the product formed. Stoichiometry will be used to calculate the theoretical yields of each compound to find the limiting reactants or if co-limitation…

    Theory: Gases are matter with no definite volume or shape. They will take on the volume and shape of whatever they are being contained in. There are three gas laws. The first is Boyle's Law. Boyle's law states that at a maintained temperature, and number of molecules, the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional to each other. Which simply means that the higher the pressure is on a gas, the lower the volume of the gas will be, and vice-versa. The formula for this law is: P¹V¹=P²V². V¹ is the old volume, and P¹ is the old pressure. V² is the new volume and P² is the old pressure. The second gas law is Charles Law. Charles Law states that there is a direct relationship between volume & temperature(K). As Volume increases, so does Temperature, by the same ratio. The third gas law is the Combined Law. The combined law deals with any combination of Pressure, Volume and temperature. The combined law states that Pressure and Temperature are directly proportioned. P¹V¹ Over T¹ = P²V² Over T².…

    A solution is in equilibrium when the rate of forward reaction and the rate of reverse reaction are equal. This equilibrium may be disturbed when the concentration of the reactants, the concentration of the products or the temperature is changed. If the process involves gases, a change in pressure can also affect the position of equilibrium. The concept behind this is Le Chatelier 's Principle which states that when a system is disturbed through application of a particular stress, the system shifts to the direction which relieves the stress. The shifting equilibrium experiment will further explain this concept and discuss the reaction quotient and equilibrium constant.…

    For a reaction to occur in chemistry, two or molecules must combine and interact with each other making them change. They could be any molecule within any interaction or reaction. Sometimes, there are a cluster of molecules that combine in which a reaction occurs starting at one point and moving to another. When this reaction is completed, new chemicals appear and these chemicals will often go backwards and perform the reaction in a reversed manner turning itself into the…
