Experiment S-8B Equation Writing and Predicting Products Objective At the completion of this experiment, the students will write chemical equations from the chemical reactions they observe. explore and learn the process of balancing an equation Apparatus and Materials Chemical splash goggles, lab apron, 2 pieces of Mg ribbon, tongs, lab burner, striker, watch glass, 6 test tubes, graduated cylinder, 2.0M HCl, test-tube rack, test-tube holder, 3 wooden splints, Cu foil, file, spatula, (NH4)2CO3, cobalt chloride paper, 3% H2O2, MnO2, 0.1 M KI, 0.1 M Pb(NO3)2 Theory of Concepts If you examine a car that has been in a junkyard for a while, you will notice that it has rusted. Rusting is a slow chemical reaction of the iron in the car with oxygen gas. If sodium is put into water, a much more rapid chemical reaction occurs. Sodium reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. During this reaction, enough heat is liberated to ignite the hydrogen gas, causing it to explode. Chemists observe what is happening in a chemical reaction and try to describe it in language that is simple and clear. A chemical equation uses formulas and symbols to describe the substances involved in a reaction, the physical state of the substance, the use of a catalyst (a substance that speeds up a reaction without itself being consumed), and relative proportions., The general form of an equation is: REACTANTS PRODUCTS In this investigation you will perform a series of reactions and make careful observations of the changes that occur. Using simple tests and your knowledge of chemistry, you will determine the identity of the products. With this information, you will write chemical equations to describe the reactions. Procedures 1. Put on your goggles and lab apron. For each of the reaction, record in the Data Table observations such as the appearance of the reactants; evidence that a chemical reaction has taken place; the results of tests performed on any gases produced; the appearance of the products; and any other relevant data. 2. Obtain a piece of magnesium ribbon light. Light the lab burner. Holding the magnesium with your tongs, carefully place it in the lab burner flame. Hold the burning magnesium ribbon over some wire gauze to catch any debris. CAUTION: Do not look directly at the magnesium while it burns. Turn off the burner. 3. Place a test tube in the test tube rack. Have a second test tube ready in a test-tube holder. Add 5-10 mL of a 3.0 M HCl to the first test tube. Drop a 2-cm piece of magnesium 4. 5. 6. 7. ribbon into the acid. CAUTION: HCl is corrosive. Invert the second test tube over the mouth of the first test tube. When the reaction appears to have ended, light a wooden splint and quickly test the collected gas for flammability by holding the burning splint near the mouth of the second test tube. CAUTION: This gas will make a popping sound. Light the lab burner. Grasp a small piece of copper foil with your tongs and heat it in the burner flame until it is red hot. Remove it from the flame and allow it to cool. Scratch the surface of the metal with a sharp object (such as a scoopula). Carefully place about one spatula of ammonia carbonate [ (NH4)2CO3 ] into a test tube. Holding the test tube with a test tube holder, heat the solid gently by holding the test tube in the flame for a few seconds, then removing it for a few seconds. Continue heating in this manner for 1 minute. As you heat the solid, carefully waft the air toward your nose to detect any odor. CAUTION: When heating a test tube, point the open end away from yourself and anyone nearby. Continuing to heat the solid, place a burning splint at the mouth of the test tube. Finally, as heating continues, place a piece of blue cobalt paper just inside the mouth of the test tube. Allow the test tube to cool. Place approximately 10-15 mL of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, into a test tube. Have a wooden splint ready. Add a very small amount (size of a pea) of manganese (IV) oxide, MnO2, to the hydrogen peroxide. As the reaction occurs, light the splint and allow it to burn freely for 5 seconds. Blow the flame out and place the glowing splint halfway into the test tube. Place a drop of potassium iodide solution, KI, into a small test tube. Add a drop of lead nitrate solution, Pb(NO3)2. CAUTION: Lead compounds are poisonous, avoid contact. Dispose of product in beaker under fume hood.
