Loss on Ignition
Loss on Ignition is a test used in inorganic analytical chemistry, particularly in the analysis of minerals. It consists of strongly heating ("igniting") a sample of the material at a specified temperature, allowing volatile substances to escape, until its mass ceases to change. This may be done in air, or in some other reactive or inert atmosphere. The simple test typically consists of placing a few grams of the material in a tared, pre-ignited crucible and determining its mass, placing it in a temperature-controlled furnace for a set time, cooling it in a controlled (e.g. water-free, CO2-free) atmosphere, and redetermining the mass. The process may be repeated to show that mass-change is complete. A variant of the test in which mass-change is continually monitored as temperature is changed, is thermogravimetry.
The loss on ignition is reported as part of an elemental or oxide analysis of a mineral. The volatile materials lost usually consist of "combined water" (hydrates and labile hydroxy-compounds) and carbon dioxide from carbonates. It may be used as a quality test, commonly carried out for minerals such as iron ore. For example, the loss on ignition of a fly ash consists of contaminant unburnt fuel.

    To begin, 5 centrifuge tubes were added 10 drops of one cation and labeled correspondingly, and the initial color of each solution was recorded. To being the metal hydroxide test, each tube was then added 6 M NaOH drop wise (about 20 drops) until a precipitate was seen. To each solution that formed a precipitate, 10 more drops of 6 M NaOH were added. This was to test to see if any solution was amphoteric, where any insoluble metal precipitate dissolved after the additional 6 M NaOH was added. The results were recorded and each solution was disposed of. To being the ammonia test, 5 new centrifuge tubes were each added 10 drops of one cation and labeled correspondingly. 15 M NH4OH was then added drop wise (about 20 drops) to each solution and the color of the solution and/or the color of the precipitate formed was recorded. 10 more drops of 15 M NH4OH was added to each solution and any changes were recorded, and the solutions were disposed of. To begin the flame confirmation tests, 20 drops of each cation were added to its labeled centrifuge tube. A Bunsen burner was then connected to the gas jet and lit to where a sharp blue cone was visible in the flame. A Nichrome loop was then soaked in HCl and placed in the flame until there was no color change in the flame. This insured there was no further solution on the loop.…

    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 primary objective of this lab is to be able to determine the specific heat of a reaction by using a calorimeter. A calorimeter is a device used to determine the specific heat of chemical reaction or a physical change. The specific heat a reactions is used to refer to the amount of heat that is lost or gained when one gram of a particular substance increases or decreases by one degree Celsius. When a chemical reaction occurs in an open container most of the energy gained or lost is in the form of heat. Almost no work is done (i.e. nothing is being moved). Heat flows between the system and surroundings until the two are at the same temperature, when a chemical reaction occurs in which the system absorbs heat, the process is endothermic (it feels cold). When a chemical reaction occurs in which the system produces heat it is exothermic (it feels hot)…

    During the burning period, the flame vaporizes the candle’s wax which yields water and carbon dioxide into the air. This causes the candle to melt slightly and drip down the sides of the candle, which shows a change after the burning period. Also, the whole purpose of the experiment was to increase observational skills and think of ways to perform the experiment with provided tools in the laboratory. Practicing accurate measuring and data collecting skills due to human nature as vision can be be unreliable sometimes.…

    Heat Of Combustion Lab

    We also need to understand the specifics of combustion, which is the chemical process of burning specific compounds and other items, and the specific heat capacity - the amount of thermal energy needed to increase the temperature of a given substance. Furthermore, determining the heat of combustion to compare to the values of other hydrocarbons - elements made entirely out of hydrogen and carbon - is very useful for the reasons listed above. As we know, the measurement of the quantity of heat exchanged of any type of thermal energy released is known as calorimetry - an entirely different science than we are used to. We are using each of these concepts throughout the lab experiment and are continuing to further our knowledge of each as…

    The normal electron configuration of atoms or ions of an element is known as the “ground state”. In this most stable energy state, all electrons are in the lowest energy levels available. When atoms or ions in the ground state are heated to high temperatures, some electrons may absorb enough energy to allow them to “jump” to higher energy levels. The element is then said to be in the “excited state”. This excited configuration is unstable, and the electrons “fall” back to their normal positions of lower energy. As the electrons return to their normal levels, the energy that was absorbed is emitted in the form of electromagnetic energy. Some of this energy may be in the form of visible light. The color of this light can be used as a means of identifying the elements involved. Such crude analyses are known as flame tests.…
