metals arranged in order of their reactivity based on displacement reactions‚ reduction of their oxides by hydrogen or carbon‚ the relative ease of decomposition of their compounds and reactions with oxygen‚ dilute acids and water. The higher up a metal is in the reactivity series‚ the more reactive it is. In the experiment conducted‚ the three metals‚ magnesium‚ zinc and copper each had to undergo displacement reactions and reactions with water‚ oxygen and dilute acids‚ to arrange them in the order

Coupled Reactions Louella Rose E. Tan‚ Frances May L. Coralde Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines Results and Discussion A combustion reaction is a reaction that liberates heat and light. Magnesium is a stable element and reacts violently with evolution of much heat and light. The reason the magnesium burned in carbon dioxide was because it combined with the oxygen in the CO2 leaving elemental carbon behind. CO2(g) C(S) + O2(g)

Redox reactions (Redox terminology‚ galvanic cells‚ standard electrode potentials‚ strength of oxidizing/reducing agents‚ corrosion and protection against it) Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons and reduction is defined as the gain of electrons. Oxidizing agents‚ such as oxygen are defined as substances which accept electrons; reducing agents are substances which donate electrons. Redox reactions are: a) The reactions of metals with non-metals 2Na+Cl2→2Na+Cl- b) The reactions

REACTIONS OF HYDROCARBONS Vanessa P. Manibpel De La Salle University - Dasmariñas ABSTRACT Five substances namely Hexane‚ Eugenol‚ Unknown hydrocarbon 1‚ Unknown hydrocarbon 2‚ and Acetylene gas was used for the selective reactivity of hydrocarbons to functional group tests; Bayer’s test‚ Bromine test light‚ Bromine test dark‚ and Tollen’s test. In Bayer’s test‚ only Acetylene‚ Eugenol and Unknown hydrocarbon 2 reacted positively and the rest retain the purplish color of KMnO4. On the other hand

Redox Reactions Reactions involving oxidation and reduction processes are very important in our everyday world. They make batteries work and cause metals to corrode (or help to prevent their corrosion). They enable us to obtain heat by burning fuels--in factories and in our bodies. Many redox reactions are complex. However‚ combustion and synthesis (from elements) are two ordinary examples which require very little description. Just a little more involved are the displacement reactions‚ with

Properties and Reactions of Hydrocarbons Abstract Introduction Hydrocarbons are organic materials that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms‚ these molecules can be saturated or unsaturated and acyclic‚ cyclic‚ or aromatic. In this experiment we used a variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve

percent yield of the final product is determined after the synthesis. Procedures: 2.0 mL of 1-bromobutane‚ 3.0 g of sodium benzoate‚ 5.0 mL of water‚ 4 drops of Aliquat 336‚ and a boiling stone were placed in a 50mL round-bottomed flask. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and the flask was cooled in a beaker in the water of room temperature. The solid was formed in the mixture and the flask was shaken until it dissolved. The flash was rinsed with 15 mL dichloromethane and it was

BIOL2220 Lab 3: Hill Reaction Introduction In 1937‚ Robert Hill discovered that isolated chloroplasts can generate oxygen when they are illuminated in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor‚ even in the absence of carbon dioxide. This finding was a landmark in the study of photosynthesis because it established that the source of the electrons used in the light reactions is water. It also confirmed that the released oxygen is derived from water instead of carbon dioxide. In chloroplasts

is only 33.64% off from the equilibrium point‚ and because the melting point met the literature value. The percent yield for the product was less than 100%‚ indicating that were experimental errors‚ such as an undesirable side reaction‚ or more likely‚ an incomplete reaction and loss of product. This may have occurred with incorrect filtering‚ evaporating and transferring of material. Also‚ some product may have been lost when collecting product for vacuum filtration‚ as very little acetic acid was
