AIM: To carry out a lab experiment to decompose a carbonate using heat‚ also to carry out appropriate tests for the formation of products as a result of this decomposition. DISSCUSION: Carbonates are decomposed by heat into the corresponding oxides and carbon dioxide. The temperature of decomposition depends upon the activity of the metal; that is to say‚ the more active the metal‚ the more stable is the carbonate. Thus‚ the carbonates of sodium and potassium are stable at the highest temperature

The solubility of calcium hydroxide Aim: to find out the solubility of a substance that only partially dissolves in water. Method: place about 100cm3 of distilled water in a flask and add about one spatula of solid calcium hydroxide. Stopper the flask and shake well for one minute. Leave to stand for at least 24 hours. Titrate 10cm3 samples against 0.05 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid solution using methyl orange as an indicator. Obtain enough results to calculate an accurate average‚ and then

Chemistry Write-Up The Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate Aim: When Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO3) is heated‚ Carbon dioxide and water are given off to leave a white powder. The aim is to find the equations for this reaction. Hypothesis: The experiment will prove which of the equations below is true. It will tell us whether Sodium Carbonate is produced or Sodium Oxide. 2NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O 2NaHCO3 Na2O + 2CO2 + H2O Variables: Independent: Original

Analysis of a Metal Carbonate Lab Objective: In this lab we will determine the identity of a group 1 metal carbonate compound by gravimetric analysis. The unknown is weighed and dissolved in water and the precipitate is filtered‚ dried‚ and weighed. From the data the formula weight and identity of the unknown metal carbonate is determined. Lab Procedure: 1. Set up the Bunsen burner and ring clamp‚ light the burner and heat the crucible. 2. Add 2g of unknown carbonate to the crucible and

Preparation of Calcium Carbonate Lab In this laboratory activity you will attempt to produce 1.00g of calcium carbonate from aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate. These solutions will be prepared from 2.01 g of calcium chloride and 1.06 g of sodium carbonate . Materials: 3 beakers 100 mL graduated cylinder rubber policeman funnel filter paper Procedure: 1. Put on your safety goggles. 2. Obtain two clean beakers. Rinse the inside of the beakers with a small

11/17/2011 The Preparation of Calcium Carbonate Purpose: To create chalk (calcium carbonate) and to find the percentage yield in order to see the amounts of anhydrous sodium carbonate and calcium chloride were used up. Also to see if there’s any alterations like mass differentials. Objectives: 1. To introduce the concept of “limiting factor” in a chemical reaction 2. To practice a. Writing a balanced equation b. Determining the number of moles of each reactant and product

SCH 3U0 May 7th 2013 Percent Yield of Calcium Carbonate Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the percent yield of a precipitate in a double displacement reaction. A solution of calcium citrate and sodium carbonate were mixed together‚ then the products were filtered out as so only the precipitate remained. The filtered paper was then dried and the mass of the precipitate in the experiment divided by the theoretical mass of the precipitate from the calculated gave the

the experiment is to find out the amount of calcium carbonate in toothpaste through back titration since calcium carbonate does not dissolve in water. A roughly weighed amount of calcium carbonate is mixed with hydrochloric acid and then titrated against sodium hydroxide. When the indicator turns from pink to orange‚ the volume of sodium hydroxide used is taken down. After doing some calculations‚ the average percentage of calcium carbonate in toothpaste is 19.2%. This average percentage is relatively

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Many limestones are composed from skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera. Limestone makes up about 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes‚ in which water erodes the limestone over thousands to millions of years. Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock. Limestone has numerous uses‚ including
