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.
Hypothesis:
If the gasses are correctly synthesized then there will be a clear reaction with the introduction of the flame, O2, CO2, Air, limewater, and Bromthymol indicator.
Procedures:
Step 1. I placed a small amount of Mossy Zn in the test tube and then added HCL. I used the rubber stopper and a pipet bulb to collect the Hydrogen gas synthesis. I filled the pipet bulb with water and placed it over the rubber stopper and waited for the H2 to completely displace the water. Once it had displaced the water, I removed the bulb and gently squeezed it into the match flame. There was a very audible “pop” and I observed the combustion of the H2. (Step 1 cont.) I filled another pipet bulb with 2/3 H2 and set it aside for later use.
Step 2. I placed a small amount of Manganese into the test tube and added enough 3% H2O2 to nearly fill the test tube. Using the same rubber stopper/bulb mechanism, I collected the O2 gas that was synthesized. Once all of the water had been displaced, I lit a toothpick on fire and let it burn for a few seconds until it was extinguished. I removed the pipet bulb and inserted the glowing toothpick into the bulb and observed the glowing embers reignite momentarily.
Step 3. Using the H2 bulb from Step 1, I placed the bulb over the O2 gas delivery tube and displaced the rest of the water with oxygen. I removed the pipet bulb and introduced the gas to the flame. I observed no reaction with this gas.
Step 4. Using the Baking soda and white vinegar, I combined the two in the gas delivery tube and waited for the reaction to settle before attaching the stopper. I filled another pipet bulb

    A 600 ml beaker was approximately half filled with water. A test tube was completely filled with water. Test tube was covered with thumb and was turned upside down under water in the beaker. Tweezers were used to drop one piece of calcium carbide into the beaker and was quickly covered with the test tube to collect any gas produced. When the test tube was half full of gas, the test tube was lifted out of the water and the inverted test tube was set on the lab bench. The procedure was repeated for 1/3 gas, 1/4 gas and 1/8 gas.…

    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.…

    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.…

    To begin, 5 centrifuge tubes were added 10 drops of one cation and labeled correspondingly, and the initial color of each solution was recorded. To being the metal hydroxide test, each tube was then added 6 M NaOH drop wise (about 20 drops) until a precipitate was seen. To each solution that formed a precipitate, 10 more drops of 6 M NaOH were added. This was to test to see if any solution was amphoteric, where any insoluble metal precipitate dissolved after the additional 6 M NaOH was added. The results were recorded and each solution was disposed of. To being the ammonia test, 5 new centrifuge tubes were each added 10 drops of one cation and labeled correspondingly. 15 M NH4OH was then added drop wise (about 20 drops) to each solution and the color of the solution and/or the color of the precipitate formed was recorded. 10 more drops of 15 M NH4OH was added to each solution and any changes were recorded, and the solutions were disposed of. To begin the flame confirmation tests, 20 drops of each cation were added to its labeled centrifuge tube. A Bunsen burner was then connected to the gas jet and lit to where a sharp blue cone was visible in the flame. A Nichrome loop was then soaked in HCl and placed in the flame until there was no color change in the flame. This insured there was no further solution on the loop.…

    Next, weigh the butane lighter to as close to .001g. Then, submerge the 100mL graduated cylinder completely under the water allowing it to fill completely full, making sure all air bubbles are out of the cylinder. Then, turn the cylinder upside down, keeping the end of the cylinder under water (allowing the water to stay in the cylinder). Next, place the plastic tube on the end of the lighter, and the other end of the tube should be placed up inside the cylinder. Press the lighter so that the Butane goes through the tube and into the cylinder. This should force the water out, and allow the cylinder to fill full of Butane. Fill the cylinder to 80mL of Butane, and release the lighter. Record the volume of Butane in cylinder. Make sure and allow all of the Butane to escape tube before pulling tube out of cylinder. Remove the tube from the cylinder.…

    burning acetylene lab

    The beaker is filled with water. A calcium carbide granule is dropped in the water in the container and bubbles of acetylene gas begin to be produced. If a test tube full of water is inverted and placed over the evolving gas the gas displaces the water and the entire test tube fills with acetylene. The test tube can be stoppered to retain the gas. Evidence of any black soot produced indicates that there is not enough oxygen present for complete combustion to occur. If the test tube is pulled out before the water is fully displaced we can get a test tube partially filled with acetylene as oxygen will rush in to replace the water.…
