1) Heading a. Analysis of Alum b. September 8‚2010 – September 10‚2010 c. Asad Mehmood d. Lab Partner: Alec Drey‚ Sarah Schrader‚ Seth Kerrey 2) Purpose e. Research Problem: Is what we have alum? In this lab‚ we will be analyzing alum by doing three different tests. The first will be to find the melting point‚ the second to find the amount of water in alum‚ and the third is to find the percent sulfate. We expect the values to be close to the actual.

Department AP Chemistry Alexander D. Canale Term: 2013-2014 AP Chemistry Description The AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. For some students‚ this course enables them to undertake‚ in their first year‚ second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register in courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. For other students‚ the AP Chemistry course

synthesize alum‚ test for various ions in alum‚ and form crystals in aqueous alum solution. The alum was synthesized from aluminum foil and run through a filtration system to isolate the alum. 2 Al(s) + 2 KOH + 22 H2O + 4 H2SO4 → 2 KAl(SO4)2●12H2O(s) + 3 H2(g) Its composition was analyzed using two precipitation tests and two flame tests. Three methods for growing crystals were then set up for observation next lab. Theoretical yield and percent yield: The theoretical yield for alum was 4.55g and

EXPERIMENT 4B: THE MENDELEEV LAB OF 1869 Materials: 30 element cards‚ periodic table Aim: How can we identify elements based on their propeties? Background: Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited as being the first chemist to observe patterns emerge when the elements are arranged according to their properties. Mendeleev’s arrangement of the elements was unique because he left blank spaces for elements that he claimed were undiscovered as of 1869. Mendeleev was so confident

study a set of metals and their reactions reactions using different metals in an ordered activity series‚ the goal is to find the relative reactivity of them.Discovering why metals react with certain cations and solutions is the main point of this lab. This has many real life applications. When creating buildings‚ or bridges it is important to understand and counter-act the rusting of iron. You can do that by using the activity series. For any industry using metals‚ this is important. Manufacturing
