Ionic Reaction Lab
Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to observe what happens when two ionic compounds are combined in a small area and to be able to record the type of precipitate that is formed.

Background: An ionic compound is formed when ions “transfer,” or lose or gain electrons. The ions in an ionic compound are held together by ionic bonds in a lattice shaped structured. They are packed tightly together to maximize the attraction between the ions. When two compounds are mixed together, they form a precipitate. A precipitate is solid that is formed from a chemical reaction. A cation is a positively charged ion and an anion is a negatively charged ion.

Hypothesis: The anion and the cation will react to form a precipitate more often than not.

    We will be mixing ionic compounds in solute-solute and solvent solute interactions. We will be combining sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, nickel and silver and some anions like chloride, sulfate, nitrate, oxalate, phosphate, and hydroxide. We will be seeing which one forms a precipitate or rings. Most likely the anions will be the insoluble. From there we will be making a flow chart that will go accordingly to our experiment.…

    Ionic Reaction Results

    Results indicate that all but one of the sodium carbonate/bicarbonate mixtures produced a precipitate, the exception was when NaHCO3 was combined with Co(NO3)2 or cobalt nitrate. Furthermore, most copper and iron nitrates, even with differing sodium compounds produced a precipitate. Exceptions were Cu(NO3)2 with sodium sulfate and sodium chloride. It was also noticed that nickel, barium, and iron nitrates (excluding those with few with no reaction) across the board had the same color precipitates no matter the sodium compound that it was mixed with.…

    Ionic Hydrate Lab Report

    An ion is an atom or a molecule with a positive or a negative charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. Ionic solids are salts (such as NaCl) that are held together by a strong force of attraction between ions of opposite charge. Molecules are the smallest physical units of an element or a (chemical) compound. Ionic solids are also known as salts because salts are ionic compounds that are formed from a reaction between an acid and a base.…

    Covalent Bonding Lab

    In ionic bonding, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. Ionic Bonds have another name, Electrovalent bond. These bonds form from electrostatic attraction between opposite ions of a chemical compound. Ionic bonding is the bond that creates ionic compounds. During the bond, some atoms are more stable when they lose or gain electrons to form ions. Since the numbers of electrons don’t match the umber of protons, that is why they create a net charge.…

    Cations And Anions Reaction Essay

    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.…
