concentrated sulphuric acid at the chemical plant where I work at as the Safety Engineer. In this report‚ I will explain what Sulfuric Acid is‚ the health risks and hazards associated with it‚ the safety precautions that should be taken and how the spill should be handled. Sulfuric Acid‚ H2SO4‚ also commonly known as battery acid or vitriol‚ is one of the top products in the chemical industry‚ with 40 million tons produced annually in the U.S. It is a colourless‚ odourless and oily mineral acid that is soluble

Chapter 13‚ “Chemical Reactions”‚ was also of great interest to me. “A change that alters the chemical composition of a substance and hence forms one or more new substances is called a chemical change‚ or more often‚ a chemical reaction (James T. Shipman 342).” In this summary paper‚ I will discuss some of the highlights of the chapter. An awesome example of a chemical reaction is that of photosynthesis‚ found in green plants. In photosynthesis‚ plants absorb carbon dioxide gas from the air

Aim: The aim of my experiment is to find out the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid (HCL) and Magnesium (Mg) in different temperatures. The products that will be formed are Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) and Hydrogen (H2). Prediction: I predict that as the temperature increases the rate of reaction also increases. To further explore the fact I further predict that the rate of reaction will double for every 10° C rise in temperature. I further predict as the temperature rises by 10° C the rate

The Effect of the Concentration of Sulphuric Acid on the Reaction Rate with Magnesium Sarah Cain SCH 4UB Mr. Lankin April 1‚ 2009 Introduction The nature of the problem is to design an investigation that examines a variable affecting the reaction rate. In this experiment‚ magnesium will be reacted with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The reaction is shown by the following chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) + Mg (s) → MgSO4 (aq) + H2

Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations Q.1. Why should magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air ? Ans: Magnesium ribbon is a very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide being a stable compound prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium is cleaned before burning in air to remove this layer so that the metal can be exposed to air properly. Q.2. Write the balanced

the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid will be effected if we change the concentration of hydrochloric acid. Introduction In the experiment the magnesium reacts with the hydrochloric acid to create magnesium chloride and hydrogen. The balanced formula for this is: Mg(s) + 2HCL(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) Magnesium + hydrochloric acid Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen Magnesium will react with hydrochloric acid‚ because it is higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen. The magnesium displaces

familiarize and perfect the simple distillation method to produce 4-Methylcyclohexene and to gain experience using an IR spectroscopy to characterize the product of the reaction in favor of equilibrium. B. Results and Discussion: C. Experimental: 24 mL of 4-methylcyclohexanol‚ 5mL of phosphoric acid‚ and 1mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added to a 250 mL round bottom flask and mixed thoroughly with a magnetic stirrer.
