determine the quantity of zinc chloride that is produced in a chemical change from a given amount of zinc. Background: We used two important laws of chemistry in this lab. Firstly‚ the Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction and the mass of a system should therefore remain constant during any chemical process. In other words‚ the mass of any one

Abstract This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice‚ once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex:

Laboratory Procedure 1. Measured and recorded the mass of a piece of galvanized iron using a centigram balance and a ruler 2. Measured and recorded the length and width of the galvanized iron using the ruler 3. Put the piece galvanized iron into a 400-ml beaker 4. Added 25mL of hydrochloric acid to the

Research Question: Does the mass(±0.005g) of various types of corrosive metals (iron‚ nickel‚ zinc‚ copper and tin) change when placed in a solution of 1 molar hydrochloric acid over a period of 8 days at an average room temperature of 24 degrees Celsius? Aim: To be able to record and understand

displace Iron because it is more reactive. Zinc + Hydrochloric acid: Zinc will replace Hydrogen because it is more reactive. Copper + Hydrochloric Acid: Copper will not displace Hydrogen because copper is more reactive. Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid: Magnesium will displace Hydrogen because it is more reactive and end up as Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen. Sodium + Hydrochloric acid: Sodium will displace Hydrogen because

Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction occurred

Information: Post-1983 pennies have a copper jacket and a zinc core. We hope to determine the percent composition of these two metals. This will be done by reacting the zinc with hydrochloric acid to form zinc ions in a single replacement reaction. The acid reacts with the zinc but not copper. The reaction of zinc metal with the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Safety: Wear your safety goggles and apron If you spill Hydrochloric acid on yourself‚ rinse with water Procedure: DAY
