In this lab we tested different ratios of hydrogen to oxygen to determine the best ratio for the explosive reaction between the two gasses when forming H2O. We first filled multiple pipets with water after this we created our H2 generator. This generator was made by adding 1.5M hydrochloric acid within 2 cm of the top of a test tube containing several pieces of zinc. We next put the rubber stopper n the test tube. Next, we observed that the bubbles were forming rapidly in the test of H2 generator and the color was a foggy white. When we filled the pipet with the H2 and squeezed it against the flame, it produced a quiet sound and had no flame effect. After doing this we made the O2 generator. We made this generator just like the first, but we used several pieces of manganese and added 3% hydrogen peroxide. …show more content…
When tested against the flame no sound was produced and the flame went out. After this, we tested the ratio of 1:1 H2:02 this produced a loud pop and the flame flickered in both trails. Next, we test the ratio of 2:1 H2:02, this ratio produced a very loud pop and the flame went out completely in both trails. Next, we tried the ratio of 1:2 H2:O2 this in the first trail made a medium pop and caused the flame to go out but in the second trial, it created a medium pop and the flame only flickered. The ratio of 3:1 H2:O2, created a soft pop and the flame lowered but did not go out. In the next trail it created a loud pop and the flame also flickered. In the ratio of 1:3 H2:O2 it created a soft pop and the flame flickered in both

...name-----Mr. Kalanderopoulos, J Course code-----SCH4U Abstract The purpose of this lab is to find out the molar enthalpy change of neutralization by mixture sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. To get the result use some related materials and thermometer to measure the temperature of each solution. The formula to describe this mixture reaction is HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O (Sodium hydroxide combined with Hydrochloric acid) Purpose To determine the molar enthalpy change of neutralization, for the reaction of aqueous sodium hydroxide and aqueous hydrochloric acid. Hypothesis If Hess’ law is used to calculate the molar enthalpy of combined for HCl and NaOH using experimentally determined enthalpy values, then the final result will be more specific. This is because Hess’ law states that the sum of the enthalpy pages of the intermediate reactions, should equal the enthalpy change of the target reaction. Materials Coffee-cup calorimeter | Strning rod | Two 100 ml graduate cylinders | 1.0 mol/L Sodium hydroxide NaOH (aq) | thermometer | 1.0 mol/L Hydrochloric Acid HCl (aq) | Procedure Safety---before doing the lab, make sure already read the lab safety guidelines.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Two Antacid Tablets

...Antacid Lab Report Abstract: Inflation is gradually increasing the prices on every human necessity. Unfortunately, the medicine people need to combat distress, disease and sickness are no exception. The purpose of this lab was to make a comparison between two antacid tablets through a titration. The comparison was made between effectiveness and cost, and to make a final verdict on which tablet can neutralise more acid for equal amounts of money. The ground tablets were placed in an Erlenmeyer flask along with a base, a pH indicator, and water. Hydrochloric acid with a pH of two was slowly released into the mixture using a burette. The observable difference that indicated the desired change in pH was a colour variance of the liquid, created by the indicator. The quantity of hydrochloric acid needed to bring the basicity of the mixture to the right pH was noted, and the procedure was repeated with the other antacid. The results showed that the Tums brand could neutralise more acid, however the Equate brand has a lesser cost per gram. A calculation revealed that the Equate brand was the better choice, since overall it could eliminate more hydrochloric acid than the Tums brand per dollar. Key Terms: Chemical reaction: A reaction in which the ionic or molecular structure of a substance is changed to fulfill the substance’s need of a full valence shell of electrons. pH: Scale used to express how acidic or basic a solution is. The scale ranges from 0-14, with 7 being neutral...

...[pic] ANTACIDS PRE LAB DISCUSSION The stomach produces hydrochloric acid to begin the chemical breakdown [digestion] of the food that you eat. Although this acid is quite strong, (about 2 M), the stomach has a thick mucus lining that protects the stomach tissue itself from being digested by the acid. When the stomach is too full or when you have swallowed air, the acid will be forced up out of the stomach into the unprotected esophagus. The acid will react with the unprotected tissue and cause a burning sensation commonly known as "heart burn". There are a number of over-the-counter medications called "antacids". These are not chemical bases. If they were bases and you used them regularly or took them in large doses, they would raise the pH of your blood. This condition, called alkalosis, would result in kidney damage. The brands of antacids sold in the drug store contain insoluble compounds that acids will react with, resulting in the acid being consumed in the reaction. The most common ingredient used is calcium carbonate [CaCO3], also known as limestone. This limestone is ground to a powder, mixed with a starch paste, and formed into a tablet. Often flavoring and coloring is added to make the tablet more attractive. Other tablets contain insoluble hydroxides that will react with hydrochloric acid. There are also newer types of antacids that are taken before eating. These consist of a hormone [chemical messenger] that reduces the...

Chemistry

...Acids are substances that form hydrogen ions (H+(aq)) when dissolved in water eg hydrochloric acid HCl gives H+(aq) and Cl-(aq) ions, sulphuric acid H2SO4 gives 2H+(aq) and SO42- ions and nitric acid HNO3 gives H+(aq) and NO3-(aq) ions. o Alkalis are substances that form hydroxide ions (OH-(aq)) in water eg sodium hydroxide NaOH gives Na+(aq) and OH-(aq) ions, calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 gives Ca2+(aq) and 2OH-(aq) ions. Note: an alkali is a base soluble in water. o In water, there are trace quantities of H+ and OH- ions BUT they are of equal concentration and so water is neutral. o In acid solutions there are more H+ ions than OH- ions. o In alkaline solution there are more OH- ions than H+ ions. o Acids dissociate to different extents in aqueous solution. Acids that dissociate to a large extent are strong electrolytes and strong acids. In contrast, acids that dissociate only to a small extent are weak acids and weak electrolytes In a similar manner, bases can be strong or weak depending on the extent to which they dissociate and produce OH– ions in solution. Most metal hydroxides are strong electrolytes and strong bases. Ammonia, NH3, is a weak electrolyte and weak base. o BASES eg oxides and hydroxides are substances that react and neutralise acids to form salts and water. Bases which are soluble in water are called alkalis. Acids Some common acids are listed below: Name Hydrochloric acid Sulphuric acid Nitric acid Ethanoic (acetic) acid Methanoic (formic) acid Citric...

Hess's Law

...ammonia gas and hydrochloric acid gas by using Hess’s law. Introduction: A reaction that release heat to surrounding is known as exothermic reaction. It is usually observed as temperature increases in solvent, container and other immediate surroundings. The expression of heat released from the reaction is: qreaction = qsolution + qcalorimeter ……..(1) The qcalorimeter is nearly zero because the calorimeter in this experiment is assumed to absorb little heat. So, the equation is simplified to qreaction = qsolution ……...(2) The change in temperature that caused by the addition of a given amount of heat will depend on specific heat, Csp of substance. Therefore, the heat involved is calculated by the equation Q = (Csp)(m)(T) ………(3) Mass of substance is m, change is temperature is T (final temperature – initial temperature). The heat changes observed is equal to enthalpies of reaction, H for the reactions considered because this experiment was run at constant pressure. The enthalpy of these directly observed reactions and Hess’s law was used to calculate the enthalpy change for an additional reaction which is not directly observed. Hess’s law stated that the overall enthalpy change of a chemical reaction is independent of its pathway. The magnitude of enthalpy change of a chemical reaction depends only on the difference in the enthalpy content of the products and the reactants, and does not depend on how the reaction is completed...
