Results of the Mummion Test
Cations
I found out what Cations where present by doing a flame test. When I put my substance in the Bunsen burner I got a bright yellow colour which means that the Cation for my substance was sodium ions.

Anions
To find the Anions I had to go through a series of tests to find out which Anion was present. From all the tests I found out that the test for bromine halide worked and the test for sulphate also worked.

Conclusion

In conclusion I found out that the ions present in my sample where sodium, sulphate and bromine. The Cation was sodium and the Anions where sulphur and bromine this means that my sample was sodium sulphate or sodium bromide.

Evaluation

My experiment went very well but if I could redo this I would make some changes. The Mummion that I had filtered was not completely clear, so I would filter this couple of times before putting it into an evaporating basin.

    A topic of great importance to all scientists is the identification of compounds, which is relevant in all aspects of their work in some way shape or form. Weather it may be determining what is causing sickness or what is polluting the air, it is very prevalent in the science world. In project 2, identification of cations and anions was preformed through a series of confirmation and elimination tests that ultimately led to identifying an unknown ionic compound made of cations and anions.…

    This experiment seeks to explore different chemical reactions conducted in the lab. A cation is defined as positively charged ions, which are K+ and Pb2+ in this experiment, and an anion is termed as negatively charged ions, which are CrO4 2- and NO3 2-. The major objective of this lab experiment was to examine the reaction between cations and anions, as well as observing, and documenting the chemical reactions. We will be demonstrating the reaction between a solution of Lead Nitrate with a chemical formula of PbNO3 2, and a Potassium Chromate solution with a chemical formula of K2CrO4. The end result from mixing the two solutions should have a combined set of either the Pb2+ or K+ cation and likewise with the NO3 2- or CrO4 2- anion in its chemical formula. This experiment will demonstrate the chemical reaction between the cations and anions with an expected end result of a solid substance, which validates that a chemical reaction occurred.…

    Mummification Report

    • 1779 Words
    • 8 Pages

    I am going to explain what Ions are including Cations and Anions because it is the background information needed to carry out this investigation. An ion is an atom or molecule which the total number of electrons isn’t equal to the total number of protons giving the atom a positive or negative electrical charge. When an atom is attracted to another atom because it has an unequal number of electrons and protons, the atom is called an Ion. If the atom has more electrons than protons this means that it’s a negatively charged ion or Anion. Different anions include carbonate, fluoride, nitrate and oxide. Cations are particles with a positive charge and are formed when one atom loses electrons whereas anions have particles with a negative charge and are formed when an atom gains electrons. The purpose of these experiments I am going to carry out is to…

    I identified it as Hydrogen through the spectrometer and counting the number of lines that showed up inside it. I first looked at the sample and then counted the lines that showed up inside the spectrometer. The number I got for that was 3. The numbers that I got for each of the lines were 450, 500, and 680. Then I went to the back of the sheet that I was recording the data and compared my numbers. I immediately eliminated many possible elements because the elements had too many numbers; I only needed elements that had 3 numbers. As I went down the list of possible elements, I saw the element Hydrogen had very close numbers to the ones that I had written down (440, 490, 670 respectively) so I compared my numbers with the rest of the elements. None of the other elements came close to the similarity with Hydrogen so I concluded that Hydrogen was sample #4 because my numbers and the numbers of Hydrogen written on the back of the sheet were only each 10 nm…

    Stories about mummies have been told on Halloween or discussed in an ancient history class, but one doesn’t usually stop and think about how real the process of mummification used to be or the process that it involved. Mummification played a large role in ancient Egyptian society. This strange and fascinating Egyptian ritual is a multi-stepped religious practice of old beliefs.…

    The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns, in part 1, Ag+, Pb+, and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2, the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules were also a major theme as solubility is important in determining whether a reaction will produce a precipitate.…
