Experiment 7: A Study of Chemical Changes: Types of Chemical Reaction INTRODUCTION Chemical changes are results of chemical reactions. All chemical reactions involve a change in substance and a change in energy. They are either chemical elements or compounds. A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products. There are different types of chemical reaction classified into 4 general types‚ namely‚ Synthesis‚ Decomposition

Identifying Ionic Compounds Written by Ashleigh Lara. In our experiment we were given 5 different cations who’s mixture of anions ranged from five to three different solutions. At every single station we were given the following materials a spot plate‚ a dropper‚ and the chemicals used to mix with our main substance. Each substance received 3 drops of the different chemicals which were able to give us an observation of what the compound was made into. Many of our experiments color‚ texture and solubility

Concentration of a Reactant Can Affect the Rate of Reaction Aim To plan an investigation that allows me to measure the effect of increasing the concentration of a reactant on the rate of reaction. With the results generated‚ it is also hoped to draw accurate conclusions and explain the results using scientific knowledge. Introduction Some reactions are fast‚ for example neutralisation or burning magnesium in air to produce magnesium oxide. However‚ other reactions can be slow‚ for example‚ rusting of iron

Abstract The experiment is to identify the guilty suspect that is present at the crime scene by comparing with the DNA samples. Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) is used to amplify the small amount of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) for forensic or genetic studies‚ which require necessary product and placed in the thermal cycle. Gel electrophoresis is being run in order to analyze and compare the DNA samples at the crime scene with the guilty suspects. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA using

Aim: This experiment will aim to show how the amount of substrate affects the rate of the reaction. Hypothesis: In this experiment I think the amount of substrate will simply increase the reaction. As I increase the surface area of the potato the gas given off from the reaction will increase. Therefore to sum things up‚ my hypothesis is when the Independent variable increases so will the dependant variable. Independent variable: - Surface area of potato Dependant variable: - Gas Controlled

A2 Chemistry Coursework Section 1 Aims: I aim to find out the order of reaction with respect to [H2O2] and [2I-]. I aim to find out the activation enthalpy of the reaction by finding the rate of reaction at different temperatures using the Arrhenius Equation. The experiment will go as follows: Into a conical flask put 15cm3 of distilled water and add 2cm3 of [X]moldm-3 potassium iodide (KI) solution and 1cm3 of 2moldm-3 sulphuric acid. Then add to this 2.5cm3 of 5vol (0.42moldm-3) hydrogen

Limiting Reactant and Percent Yield in a Precipitate Reaction (SMG 6D) AP Chemistry One example of a double replacement (metathesis) reaction is the mixing of two solutions resulting in the formation of a precipitate. In solution chemistry‚ the term precipitate is used to describe a solid that forms when a positive ion (cation) and a negative ion (anion) are strongly attracted to one another. In this experiment‚ a precipitation reaction will be studied. Stoichiometry will then be used

find the order of a reaction Introduction When peroxodisulfate (VI) ions and iodide ions react together in solution they form sulfate (VI) ions and iodide. This reaction is shown below: S2O82-aq+ 2I-aq SO42-aq+ I2(aq) The reactants and the sulfate (VI) ions are colourless however the Iodine is a yellow/brown colour. This allows you to measure the progress of the reaction through the colour change when the iodine is produced. In order to determine the order of the reaction we need to measure

Ionic Bonds Essay The periodic table is a masterpiece of organized chemical information. It is a table of the chemical elements in which the elements are arranged by order of atomic number. The standard form of the table includes periods (horizontal rows in the periodic table) and groups (vertical rows in the periodic table). Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary matter. Atoms are made up of particles called protons‚ electrons‚ and neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge‚

The Polymerase Chain Reaction and Determination of Alu Population Freqencies Porshia Gibbs April 8‚ 2010 Genetics Laboratory Abstract Cheek cells were extrapolated and used in PCR amplification and electrophoresis of the amplified samples to determine the presence or absence of the dimorphic Alu sequence in a class population. A bioinformatic allele server was then employed to calculate genotypic and allelic frequencies of the Alu element in the class population. The Hardy-Weinberg equation
