Reaction Types In this lab we were give 9 different elements and had to determine if they were Single Displacement, Double Displacement, Synthesis, Decomposition and Combustion. A.) Aluminum and Copper (II) Chloride, my hypothesis is a Single Displacement. B.) Calcium Carbide and Water, my hypothesis is a Double Displacement. C.) Zinc and Hydrochloric Acid, my hypothesis is a Single Displacement. D.) Alcohol and Oxygen, my hypothesis is a Combustion. E.) Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Iodide, my hypothesis a Double displacement. F.) Copper and oxygen, my hypothesis is a synthesis. G Magnesium and oxygen, my hypothesis is a synthesis. H.) Acetic acid and Sodium bicarbonate, my hypothesis is a double displacement. I.) Copper (II) carbonate and Hydrochloric acid, my hypothesis is a double displacement. Data: Attached.
Conclusion:
Experiment A. Aluminum and Copper (II) Chloride. In this experiment I filled a large test tube with one dropper full of Copper (II) Chloride solution. Then, I added a small pice of aluminum foil and the observed. In my observation the aluminum started to burn and dissolved. Yes, my hypothesis was correct for this experiment.

Experiment B. Calcium Carbide and Water. In this experiment I filled a large test tube with one dropper full of water. Secondly, I added one piece of calcium carbide. Then, I added a flaying wood splint to the test tube. In my observation it started to bubble and made a popping noise. Yes, my hypothesis was correct for this experiment. Experiment C. Zinc and Hydrochloric acid. First I filled a large test tube with 1 dropped full of HCl. Then I got a second test ready. Then, I placed a small amount of zinc in the first test tube and immediately placed the second test tube. Then my partner took a flaming wood splint and placed it between the two test tubes. In my observation it smoked and make a boom sound. Yes, my hypothesis was correct in this experiment.

Experiment D. Alcohol and Oxygen. This

    This experiment was all about observing a chemical reaction. During the experiment, we made observations and possible explanations on why Copper(II)Chloride Dehydrate and Aluminum foil created a chemical reaction. The observations were made by using Copper Chloride, Aluminum foil, and Distilled water. Before the Aluminum was added into the Copper Chloride was turquoise. As we added the Aluminum the color changed to green and the water boiled. So we met the purpose of this lab.…

    Safety goggles were put on, hair was tied back and sleeves were rolled up. One cm of CuSO4·5H20 was added to a cleaned dried test tube. The test tube was heated until no furthered changes were observed. All observations were recorded then the substance was then disposed of in the waste container provided. 1/3 of a test tube was filled with Na2SO4 solution. An eye dropper filled with BaCl2 was added to the test tube. All observations were recorder. A 3 cm long trip of Magnesium ribbon was held above a flame of a Bunsen burner. The result of the flame should not be directly looked at. All observations were recorded. A test tube was filled 1/3 of dilute H2SO4. A sanded mossy piece of zinc mental was added to the acid and the test tube was covered. A flaming splint was brought to the mouth of the test tube. All observations were recorded. A sanded iron nail was added to a test tube and covered with CuSO4 solution. The test tube was left for several minutes. The nail was then removed and observations were recorded. An eyedropper full of lead(II) nitrate was added to a test tube combined with an eyedropper full of potassium iodide. The reaction was left for serval minutes before observations were recorded. The substance was then disposed of in the waste container provided. Manganese (V) oxide was added to a test tube with hydrogen peroxide and the test tube was then covered. A glowing splint test was then inserted into the test tube. All observations were then recorded. Metals were thrown in the trash while most solution were poured down the drain…

    This aim of this experiment was to determine whether or not a chemical reaction occurred after the mixing of various chemicals. The evolution of a gas, the formation of precipitation, and the change of temperature or color are all indicative of a chemical reaction. It was assumed that a reaction did not take place if the mixture of chemicals exhibited none of these characteristics. Several precipitation, complex-ion formation, redox, and acid-base reactions were performed.…

    Aluminum Foil Lab Report

    One possible source of scientific error that could be present in the experiment is that when placing the aluminum foil onto the center of the pan, the flame under foil in centered only at the centered. The unknown substances are placed around the side of the aluminum foil, only allowing the flame’s heat to hit the center of the aluminum foil and the area around it. This possible source of error may have affected the outcomes of the experiment because the unknown substances present on the foil may not have been heated evenly, resulting in uneven temperatures for each unknown substance. The substances most closest to the center would receive the most heat from the flame, causing a high temperature, whereas the substances least closest to the center would receive the least heat from the flame, causing a low temperature. This would affect the results because if the heat from the flame was not able to reach a substance, that substance may not have had enough heat for it to melt, affecting the results dramatically.…
