Theoretical Chemical Equation Of Ionic Compounds Lab Report
In this lab, theoretical chemical equations of ionic compounds were balanced by the group to determine ratios of reactants and products. The products were determined by the group through switching the cation with their anion partner. Using this information, it was determined by the group, whether the reaction should result in a solid, gas, or water based on theoretical solubility. Then several experiments testing the reaction of these ionic compounds were performed by the partners. Two ionic compounds were mixed together by the partners and the resulting reaction of whether a solid, gas, or water was then observed by them. This observation was then compared to theoretical results by the lab partners. Through these comparisons, the compounds were able to be assigned by the colleagues to each of the unknown bottles.
The fact that sulfuric acid was E was first determined by the writer. This was able to be done by him by first narrowing into the reaction which produced bubbles, and this included the compounds sodium carbonate and sulfuric acid by looking at Table 2. This correspondence to E and B was determined by the writer by looking at table 3. To figure out which was which, the only reaction which produced heat was zeroed into by the writer, which involved the compounds sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. Heat was formed

One obvious source was that the equations could have been balanced incorrectly or the proper precipitate could have been identified incorrectly. A way that this could have been improved was that the equations could be balanced separately by the members of the group, the precipitate could have been found out separately, and then the answers could have been compared, instead of the group members working together on the same problem at the same time. They could also have received more time to let this part of the lab be finished so their answers could be

    It was also assumed that both Sol.A and Sol.B beakers were exactly at the same temperature when the reaction occurred. Even though the temperatures of both beakers were recorded, it was highly likely that the temperature increased or decreased between the time when they were taken out of the water baths and the time they were mixed together. Though this would not be a primary source if error, nonetheless, it can account for a very small part of the experimental…

    Our results seemed to largely agree with the established solubility rules/table; however, a few reactions with the commonality of being mixed with Co(NO3)2 (cobalt nitrate) [reference Row A, Columns 2, 3, and 4] seemed to have such a pale pink tone that it was difficult to decide whether that could have been a precipitate or the lighting in the area where the experiment took place. Ultimately, our lab group came to the decision that no reaction occurred.…

    In this investigation, the student is to identify the ionic compound in a solution from a list of possible compounds given solutions of all the possible compounds. The student needs to find the reactions in between each solution including the reactions with the unknown solution #1. The colors of each solution will help to determine if the solution reacting with the unknown #1 is the same as the unknown and the different colors of the solutions are qualitative data. The reactions between each combination of solutions were also qualitative data and helped determine the unknown solution. If there was a reaction between one of the 8 solutions and the unknown solution #1, then the solution could not be the unknown. The student shall also discover how ionic compounds react physically and chemically to form one ionic compound. The students will also discover how to balance chemical equations to represent chemical reactions.…

    The data gathered and calculated in the experiment accurately portrayed the way the reactions would have taken place. The chloride analysis was a little bit off from other groups due to the fact that our AgCl was in clumps, creating less surface area, thus our product took longer to burn and may not have burned correctly compared to other groups; yet there are several experimental factors that could have caused us to have different results than other groups, i.e. different measurements for samples. Our sources of error could have included eye measurement error, timing of set solutions error, measurement errors, and small calculation errors. Among other variables, the calibration of the analytical balance and spectrophotometer could have been off slightly, yet our results, like most other groups, still followed the general trend line generated by the graph using Beer’s Law. The measurement errors could have occurred due to the fact that one partner’s perspective of a measurement could be different than the others, but the lab cannot be preformed solo. When it comes to improving the lab, there aren’t to many ways to ensure accurate measurements due to the fact that in any experiment there are human and environment variables that cannot be accounted for, or even prepared for. In any experiment there will always be human error.…

    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.…

    Two Types of Solids

    • 1574 Words
    • 7 Pages

    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.…

    Qualitative analysis was done to identify the ions present in a given unknown solution. In this experiment, the qualitative traits of chemicals and their corresponding chemical reactions with other chemicals were more evident and familiar. Five preliminary tests were used to infer possible ions: two for cations, namely, precipitation reactions with hydroxide (OH-) and ammonia (NH3) respectively; and two for anions, namely, precipitation reactions with barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2), and non-precipitation reactions involving ferric chloride (FeCl3) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) respectively. Confirmatory tests for all possible ions were also used to confirm the suspected ions from the preliminary tests. The experimentation was repeated thrice. Observed changes were recorded and compared to controlled results from previous studies.…
