Eliel Pepito 8/1/10 The Beak of the Finch Summary The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner explores evolution through the most famous examples in history—the finches of the Galápagos Islands. Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the process of evolution are applied directly to what scientists refer to as Darwin’s Finches. Weiner follows scientists Peter and Rosemary Grant as they study the finches in real time on the Galápagos. Years of previous work‚ study and data is collected

Title: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Purpose: The purpose is to predict the amount of precipitation using stoichiometry. Another purpose is to measure and calculate percentage yield. Procedure: 1. Weigh out 1.0g of CaCl2*2H2O and put it into a 100mL beaker. 2. Add 25mL of distilled water and stir. 3. Using stoichiometry to determine how much Na2CO3 is needed for a full reaction. 4. Weigh the calculated amount and put it in a small paper cup. Add 25mL distilled water and stir

Will it Precipitate? Precipitation occurs when two aqueous (soluble solids) solutions are combined and the reaction forms an insoluble solid. When insoluble solids are formed the process is known as a precipitation. An insoluble solid is a solid that cannot dissolve unlike a soluble solid. Therefore only insoluble solids can form precipitates. In the following experiment six solutions were mixed with each other (groups of twos) in test tubes to test which reaction will result in an insoluble solid

Experiment 3: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Abstract: In this experiment the objectives were to try and predict the amount of product that was produced in the precipitation reaction of calcium carbonate by using stoichiometry. Then learn how to figure out the actual yield‚ theoretical yield and percent yield of the experiment. Experiment and Observation: The first step in the experiment was to weigh 1g of CaCl2 +2 H2O‚ then pour it into the 100mL

mole CaCO3 = 0.68g CaCO3 Show the calculation of the percent yield. = Actual yield/Theoretical yield x 100 = 0.5/0.68 x 100 = 73.5% Conclusion: The objective of the experiment is to predict the amount of product produced in a precipitation reaction using stoichiometry. Secondly‚ the experiment accurately measures the reactants and products of a reaction. Also‚ the experiment is to determine actual yield vs. theoretical yield and to calculate the percent yield. For example in this

Precipitation Titration Mohr Method Experimental The chloride ion (Cl-) is an important anion found in solids and solutions. In this experiment‚ the amount of chloride ion in an unknown sample J (NaCl + KCl mixture) of water using the Mohr method is determined‚ which relies on the solubility differences of two anions and the titration endpoint of a precipitate. The net ionic reaction during the titration is as follows: Ag+ + Cl- → AgCl(s) The Ksp for AgCl is 1.8 x 10-10 and

Selective precipitation of the Barium Magnesium Group Chem 112-004 Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to separate and identify the cations of Ba+‚Sr2+‚Ca2+‚ Mg2+ and NH4+ using differences in solubility and confirming test to identify the unknown solution used in this experiment. In this experiment the methodology used by the group is to perform the tests for both the unknown and the cations (Ba+‚Sr2+‚Ca2+‚ Mg2+ and NH4+) using the known as a control for comparison and identification

Good Morning‚ today I xxxx am here to talk to you about ‘’The Earth” Let me begin by a famous quote- “ The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs‚ but not every man’s greed.” ― Mahatma Gandhi The urgent message is “Save the Earth”. It’s a message that has been heard before and consistently being spread throughout the world. In this time that I have to talk to you‚ I want to show to you‚ how deep a mess we are in‚ with environmental crisis and how we can get out of it. It warns us

Over the past few years the WHO (World Health Organization) concerned about the public health‚ conducted the largest global systematic study to discover the causes of major health risk factors‚ the statistics about air pollution stood out the most due to the deaths caused by air pollution. Michael Graham Richard reports that 3.5 million deaths are caused by indoor air pollution and 3.3 million deaths are caused due to outdoor pollution. This essay will be discussing the use of electrostatic precipitator
