Properties of Gases
I. Abstract
The purpose of this experiment is to examine the properties of several gasses, which were the products of a reaction, and examine the way the gasses react under certain conditions. These conditions, such as introducing a flame to the gas as well as oxygen and CO2, caused other reactions to occur.
Experiment
Before I began the experiment I gathered all my supplies from the given list in the lab manual. From there I began the actual experiment and diluted the HCL placed in a test tube and then placed the ZN in the tube as well. I placed the stopper and gas delivery plastic system on the test tube and arranged the tube in the well plate. I then took the test tube filled with water inverted it and placed on top of the gas delivery system, I had the well plate in a large bowl in case of flow over. I then removed and placed my thumb over the opening so gas wouldn’t escape I lit a match and held it approx. 1 cm away and allowed a small drop from the pipet onto the flame to observe the reaction. From here I took my pipet bulb and marked it in 3 equal parts with a marker. I filled the pipet with water and set it into the gas generation tube. When it was about 2/3 full of gas I removed it and set it facing down into the well holder as per the directions. I then cleaned up the other test tube disposed of the acid and washed the test tube and rubber stopper with water thoroughly. I then began the oxygen portion of the experiment where I placed some Mn into a test tube. I added some hydrogen peroxide and filled to nearly the top. I placed the rubber stopper with gas delivery system and put into the well plate in a straight position. I filled the pipet with water and once again inverted it and placed in on top of the gas delivery system. I then watched as it became displaced with oxygen and removed it placed my thumb over it so it wouldn’t escape.

    The purpose of the Types of Chemical Reactions lab is to become familiar with the different types of chemical equations. Also the experiment allows one to apply their equation skills to explain reactions. This is done by heating compounds with the Bunsen burner and also by mixing compounds in the twenty four well plate. The experiment found that the liquid compounds reacted to form milky liquids. Also that the heated solids caused condensation that put the fire on the splints out. The experiment could have been flawed due to measurements.…

    We placed the zinc inside the beaker and slowly poured the hydrochloric acid into the beaker. As soon as the acid entered the beaker, there was a sizzling sound and bubbles started to form as we add more of the substance in. When the bubbles were forming, we could see a steam of gas coming out of the beaker. After 10 minutes, we noticed bits of zinc were floating on top of the hydrochloric acid and lining the beaker. I lifted the beaker and felt the bottom and it felt warm, which meant the reaction was still happening. After 20 minutes, we added water into the zinc and hydrochloric acid to stop the reaction and we observed a slight cloudy colour (still clear) forming as we slowly pour the water in the beaker.…

    Two Types of Solids

    The purpose of this lab is to study some of the physical properties of two types of solids – ionic and molecular. The samples used are sodium chloride (ionic) and camphor (molecular). The physical properties studied are odour, hardness, melting point, solubility in water and solubility in 2-propanol. It is observed that some of the physical properties of sodium chloride are no odours, hard, a high melting point, soluble in water and insoluble in 2-propanol; some of the physical properties of camphor are a strong odour, soft, a low melting point, insoluble in water and soluble in 2-propanol. A few conclusions can be drawn from these observations. The particles in ionic solids are held tightly by the force of attraction between ions with opposite charge, because of this strong force of attraction of positive and negative, ionic solids tend to have no odours, a high melting point and they are hard. The particles in molecular solids are held by the van der Waals force of attraction, because of this relatively weak force of attraction, molecular solids have a strong odour, a low melting point and they are soft. Sodium chloride dissolving in only water (not in 2-propanol) and camphor dissolving in only 2-propanol (not in water) have proved that polar solids are soluble in polar liquids only, and non-polar solids are soluble in non-polar liquids only.…

    Experimental Procedure. Three nails were ascertained and then weighed to the nearest 0.0001 grams. A 100 mL graduated cylinder and a 600 mL beaker were then submerged underwater. While this took place the graduated cylinder was placed upside down in the beaker. The two items were then removed from the water, and the graduated cylinder was clamped upside down in the beaker. A rubber stopper with two holes in it was then placed in a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. A rubber tube was then inserted into one of the holes of the flask, with the other end in the upside down beaker. 20 mL of air was then pumped into the graduated cylinder. About 20 mL of 6 M HCL was then added to the flask. A nail was then inserted into the second hole in the stopper, followed by a glass plug. Immediately after the reaction [Zn(s) + 2 H3O+(aq) à Zn2+(aq) + 2 H2O(l) + H2(g)] was stopped, the nail was removed and rinsed. Once the nail dried, it was massed and disposed of. Water was then added to the beaker until its level matched that in the graduated cylinder. The amount of hydrogen gas that was released in the reaction was measured in the graduated cylinder. This was repeated for the other two nails.…

    Individual solid particles are characterised by their size, shape, and density. 1.1 Particle shape The shape of an individual particle is expressed in terms of the sphericity F s, which is independent of particle size. The sphericity of a particle is the ratio of the surface-volume ratio of a sphere with equal volume as the particle and…

    The melting point of a solid is the point at which a solid becomes a liquid with standard atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure. It is important to know these characteristics of a substance so that you can handle them in the correct manner. The boiling point and melting point can also be used to identify an unknown substance.…

    The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel, which leaves a clean test tube. Incomplete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce some oxides with less oxygen than the most common oxides. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to react completely, not all fuel is used. This may result in the formation of solid carbon a black residue.…
