Abstract:
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.

Purpose:
The purpose of this lab was to learn how qualitative and quantitative observations

Next, fill the 100mL beaker with ¼ of distilled water and without stirring add the tablespoon of Copper and record observations of the solid and water. Then you stir until the solid is completely dissolved and also record the observation. After that, record the temperature of Copper solution be sure to observe to observe from the side only. Add the loose crumbled ball of Aluminum in the solution and also record what you see. Be sure to stir and record the change in temperature every 10 minutes. Lastly, wait on your teachers instructors for the correct disposal of the …show more content…
We made observations of the Copper(II)Chloride Dehydrate, and then we observed it once it wad added to the distilled water. We noticed that it was turquoise powder and then once added into the distilled water it turned green. We then added the Aluminum Foil into the solution and it got hot and turned blue like kool-aid.
We used both qualitative and quantitative observations for this equipment. We used qualitative observations by determining how the Copper was before the Aluminum was added and after. Before it was cool and after it was hot and bubbly. We also used a thermometer by taking temperature of the liquid before the Aluminum was added and after.
Its easy to make qualitative observation but when it comes to quantitative you have to one more precise with your answers. My hypothesis was proven correct which led us to a met the purpose with your answers. Its easy to make interpretations and observations because it is all based on your judgment and using your five senses. If you identify all the characteristics then it should be easy for you to record your data and all of your observation for the

    In order to determine how much of each separate component a total mass was taken before hand for both the aluminum cup and the alum. These weights were shown to be 4.5g for the aluminum cup and 2.0g for the alum crystals. Once the alum was placed over the heat source it began to turn to a cleared liquid and started to bubble. Three trials were conducted and with a constant time over the heat source each time. (10 mins) The results of each trial are found in Table 1 below:…

    The household items had similar reactions as the chemicals provided in the kit as far as color changes and slight physical precipitation. I attempted to be sure and drop the same number of drops in the beaker when testing the reactions to reduce the percent error throughout the experiment. I do believe the goal of this experiment was achieved because I did learn how to decipher between acids and bases as far as the color change during the reactions.…

    Objectives: 1. To examine a variety of reactions including precipitation, acid-base, gas forming, and oxidation-reduction reactions. 2. To identify the products formed in these reactions and summarize the chemical changes in terms of balanced chemical equations and net ionic equations. 3. To identify the species being oxidized and reduced in oxidation-reduction reactions and determine which species is the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Chemical equations represent what occurs in a chemical reaction. For example, the equation HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) describes an acid-base reaction, a type of exchange reaction in which the driving force is the formation of water. In an exchange reaction, the…
