Flame Colours Lab
name:
Introduction:
When atoms are “excited”, electrons can jump up one or more energy levels. Energy
is needed for this to happen. When these electrons fall back down towards their
original energy level, they release energy, some of which we see as visible light. The
colours of light emitted when the electrons fall back down can be used to identify the
atom.
Purpose: To use the flame test to distinguish between different cation salts.
Materials:
evaporating dishes
cation salts (in methanol)
lighter
safety glasses
Procedure:
1. Make qualitative observations of the original salts and solutions.
2. Light a control of pure methanol.
3. Light each of the solutions and observe the flame colour.
4. Allow the flames to burn out. The dishes will be very hot at this point.
5. If required, allow the dishes to cool, then relight the solutions using more methanol.
6. Test the unknowns and decide which cations they contain.
Observations:

3.
Which cations were difficult to distinguish? Why?
4.
Some of these cations are used in fireworks. Which ones would you choose to
make a fireworks display?
Bonus:
The control sample that was burned contained only alcohol. Why would
methanol create a flame that had more than one colour?

Naming Binary Compounds
Rules:
1. Determine which element is the cation. The cations are usually found toward the left of
the periodic table and are written first in the name and formula of a molecule.
2. Determine which element is the anion. The anions are non-metals (or hydrogen), located
on the right side of the periodic table, and are written second in the name and formula of
a molecule.
3. Write the cation first using the name of the element.
4. Write the anion second, dropping the usual ending and replacing it with “ide”.

Latin method – “ous/ic”
Many cations have more than one possible charge. The latin method is the oldest method
used to deal with this program, and while it can’t be used for many molecules, it is still used
in industry.
Rules:
1. Determine the charge on the cation.
2. Select the proper name for the cation.
a) The “ous” ending refers to the lower cation charge.
b) The “ic” ending refers to the higher cation charge.

IUPAC (Roman Numeral) Method
The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists) method is a standardized
nomenclature system that always works. The Roman Numerals are NOT used when there is only one
possible positive valence (ie Columns I, II, III, Ag, Zn and Cd).
Rules:
1. Determine the charge on the anion (there is only one possibility).
2. Determine the total negative charge by multiplying the anion charge by the number of anions
present.
3. The total positive charge equals the total negative charge in a neutral molecule.
4. Divide the total negative charge by the number of cations present to determine the charge on
each cation.
5. Write down the name of the cation.
6. Write the charge on the cation using Roman Numerals in brackets after the cation.
7. Write down the name of the anion using the “ide” ending.
eg. Fe2O3
1.

Compound Ions
Many ions consist of more than one element. These ions all have special names which you
will not need to memorize. A chart of the compound ions will be provided to you for all tests
and quizzes.
The charge given in the chart is the charge on the compound ion as a unit.
Compound molecules are named using the IUPAC system, the only difference being that if
more than one of the compound ions is needed to form a neutral molecule, brackets are placed
around the ion.

Nomenclature Rummy Rules
Group size: 3-5 players (6 if absolutely necessary)
Periodic Tables or “Official Cheat Sheets” are permitted during the game.
1.
Dealer deals 7 cards to each player.
2.
Place the remaining cards face down in a stack with the top card turned face up beside it as the
start of the discard pile.
3.
Each turn begins with picking up a card from either the stack or the discard pile.
4.
The person to the left of the dealer starts the game by picking up the face down card from the
stack or the face up card on the discard pile.
5.
If this player can lay down any COMPLETE MOLECULES, they can do so at this time. They
must correctly name each molecule as they lay it down (Jokers may be used for any ion.)
eg. CaCl2 = 1 card of Ca+2 and 2 cards of Cl-1
Ne = 1 card of Ne0
O2 = 2 cards of O-2
6.
This player ends their turn by placing a card from their hand onto the discard pile.
7.
The play then passes to the next person on the left.
8.
The round is completed when a player gets rid of all of their cards. They do NOT have to have
a discard.
9.
Once the round is scored (see below), the next person to the left becomes the new dealer.
DECOMPOSITION!
If a player lays down an incorrect molecule (ex they call out calcium chloride and place down 1
Ca+2 card and 1 Cl-1 card) or if they name the molecule incorrectly (don’t forget about multiple
valences), another player may yell DECOMPOSITION as the mistake is made. If there was
indeed a mistake, the player who made the mistake must pick up all of the molecules they put
down during that turn. Their turn is now over and they do NOT get to discard. If the molecule
was correct, then the player who yelled incorrectly yelled decomposition loses 10 points.
SCORING
 winner of the round: 10 bonus points
 incorrect decomposition: –10 points
 cards in your hand: joker –10, noble gas –5, all other cards are worth the negative of their
valence, ions with more than one charge are counted as the highest value against you
 cards on the table: all cards count as the positive of the valence used
Keep running total of all rounds played during the class. Make a grand total of all the rounds when
the time is up. Rank players 1st, 2nd, etc. and hand in your results.

Comparing the Masses of Reactants and Products
Purpose: To test the law of conservation of mass.
Materials:
 electronic balance
 250 mL beaker
 small test tube
 copper (II) sulphate solution
 sodium hydroxide solution
Procedure:
1. Pour 20 mL of sodium hydroxide solution into the beaker.
2. Pour copper (II) sulphate solution into the small test tube until the test tube is about half
full.
3. Place the test tube in the beaker, being careful not to mix the solutions.
4. Determine the mass of the beaker and its contents.
5. Record observations and measurements.
6. Carefully pour the copper (II) sulphate solution into the beaker, leaving the empty test tube
in the beaker.
7. Predict the mass of the beaker and its contents.
8. Record observations about the appearance of the contents and the measurement.
9. Flush contents of the beaker down the sink with water.
10. Clean the beaker and the test tube and return them to your teacher.
Discussion Questions:
1. When the solutions were mixed, did a chemical change occur? What is your evidence for
this?
2. How did the mass of the reactants and glassware before the reaction compare with the mass
after the reaction?
3. If you noted a change in mass, offer an explanation to account for it.
4. Do your results support the law of conservation of mass? If not, what sources of error
might have affected your observations and measurements?
5. The products of the reaction are copper (II) hydroxide and sodium sulphate. Write a word
equation to describe the reaction.

Balancing Equations
Chemical equations are used to show a chemical process or reaction. They are often written first as a word
equation and then translated to chemical formulae using your nomenclature skills.
One of the key concepts of a chemical reaction is the fact that both sides of the equation MUST balance.
This means that not only must both sides have the same total number of atoms, but that the amount of a
single type of atom on both sides must also balance.
Example: If you started with only two oxygen atoms, you must still have two oxygen atoms when
you finish. You cannot have less or more. So, the total number of oxygen atoms on the left side of
the equation (reactants - before the arrow) and the total number of oxygen atoms on the right side of
the equation (products - after the arrow) must be the same.
To make the number of atoms the same, the coefficient (number in front of each molecule) can be changed,
adding entire molecules to either side until the overall equation is balanced.
You cannot change the chemical formula – only leading numbers.
For this simulation, we will be using M&M’s to represent the different atoms. Do NOT start eating the
“atoms” until after you have completed the work. Once you are finished all the questions, you will be
permitted to eat your molecules.
Legend (you may substitute colours if necessary)
Hydrogen – yellow
Oxygen – red
Nitrogen – green
Chlorine – blue
Carbon – brown
Calcium – orange
Example:
word equation: oxygen + hydrogen  water
translates to
chemical equation:
O2 + H2  H2O
To model this, we place an oxygen molecule (2 reds) in the place of the first reactant and a hydrogen
molecule (2 yellows) in the place of the second reactant. In the space for the first product, place a water
molecule (2 yellows and a red). Since there isn’t a second product, leave that space blank.
a) Are there equal numbers of reds on both sides? NO
 Add an extra molecule that includes a red to the side that is missing some.
b) (Add one more water on the product side – two yellows and a red together.)
c) Are there equal numbers of yellows on both sides? NO
 Add an extra molecule that includes a yellow to the side that is missing some.
(Add one more hydrogen molecule – 2 yellows – to the reactant side)
d) Are there equal numbers of all colours on both sides? YES
e) Count the number of each molecule and place it in front of the molecules in the equation.

Types of Chemical Reactions
Purpose: To study four different types of chemical reactions
Introduction: It is not easy to classify all chemical reactions precisely. Nevertheless, most
reactions can be classified into one of four major categories.
Synthesis Reactions – are reactions in which atoms and molecules join together directly to
produce larger molecules. An example of a synthesis reaction is the combustion of sulphur to form
sulphur dioxide:
S(s) + O2 (g)  SO2 (g)
Decomposition Reactions – are reactions that are just the opposite of synthesis reactions. One
larger molecule is broken up into several smaller elements or molecules. An example is the
decomposition of carbonic acid:
H2CO3 (aq)  H2O (g) + CO2 (g)
Single Displacement Reactions – are reactions that involve a change of partners between an
element and a molecule. An example is the liberation of bromine from calcium bromide by
reacting it with chlorine:
CaBr2 (aq) + Cl2 (g)  CaCl2 (aq) + Br2 (g)
Double Displacement Reactions – are reactions that involve the joint exchange of partners
between two molecules. An example of this is the precipitation of silver chloride when solutions
of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed.
AgNO3 (aq) + NaCl (aq)  AgCl (s) + NaNO3 (aq)
In this experiment, you will study six different chemical reactions. You will identify some of the
products, and then classify each reaction as one of the four types. Assign each member in your
group the task of preparing a particular reaction and then take the time to observe each reaction
within the group.
Materials:
Bunsen burner, crucible tongs, 5 test tubes, medicine dropper, spatula, retort stand, test tube clamp,
10 mL graduated cylinder, test tube rack, wood splints, sodium sulphate solution, strontium
chloride solution, mossy zinc pieces, hydrochloric acid, manganese dioxide, aluminum pieces,
copper (II) chloride solution, copper wire, hydrogen peroxide, copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate
Procedure:
Lab A
Place a piece of aluminum in a test tube and cover it with a solution of copper (II) chloride. After
about 30 minutes, remove the aluminum and examine it.
1. Do you observe any change in the appearance of the aluminum?
2. If so, what is the charge?
3. Do you observe any change in the appearance of the copper (II) chloride solution?
4. If so, what is the change?
Lab B
Place 5 mL of sodium sulphate solution in a test tube. Add a medicine dropper full of strontium
chloride. Make observations and then leave the test tube aside for 20-30 minutes?
5. What do you observe right away? after 20-30 minutes?
6. If one of the products is sodium chloride (which is soluble in water), what is the other
product?
Lab C
Using crucible tongs, hold a 5 cm piece of copper wire in a burner flame. Remove the wire and
examine it. Dip it in strong hydrochloric acid that your teacher has to clean the wire and then
return it to the place you got it.
7. What do you observe?
8. With what did the copper combine?
Lab D
Place a small piece of mossy zinc in a test tube. Add 5 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid. Hold your
thumb over the mouth of the test tube.
9. What do you observe?
Insert a BURNING splint into the mouth of the test tube.
10. What do you observe?
Lab E
Place 3 mL of hydrogen peroxide in a test tube. Add a pinch of manganese dioxide using a
spatula. Hold your thumb over the mouth of the test tube.
11. What do you observe?
Insert a GLOWING splint into the mouth of the test tube.
12. What do you observe?
Water is one of the products of this reaction.
13. What is the other product of this reaction.
14. The manganese dioxide used in this experiment is a CATALYST. What is a catalyst? Is
the catalyst a reactant in the reaction?
Lab F
Place about 5-6 crystals of copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate in a clean, dry, heatable test tube.
Clamp the test tube to a retort stand and heat until no further changes occur.
15. What do you observe in the upper part of the test tube?
16. What do you observe in the lower part of the test tube?
17. What is the substance remaining in the test tube after heating?
Allow the test tube to cool and add 3 drops of water.
18. What do you observe?
Concluding Questions
