Chemical Reaction Lab*

Katrina, Nika, and I did all sorts of different labs and found out how they reacted.
    We took a piece of copper wire shining it up with emery cloth. Then we lit the Bunsen burner and held the copper over it with tongs. the copper turned black then green .
    -Cu+O2 heat CuO
     We put hydrogen peroxide in a test tube. then added manganese dioxide to the test tube. Catching the gasses in a separate test tube we put a burnt splint in the gasses and it made the coals burn hotter.
    -H2O2 MnO2 O2+H2O

    We had hydrochloric acid and we filled a test tube half full. Then we took a short piece of magnesium metal and placed it in the acid. Catching the gas that was produced by the acid and magnesium in another test tube. Then we lit a match and put it in the gas and the flame made a popping noise.
     -2HCL(ag)+Mg-H2+MgCl2

    We placed copper 2 carbonate into a test tube and heated it, then we caught the gasses that were given off. we lit a splint and put it in the gas.
    -CuCo3+heat Co2=CuO

     We had to light a Bunsen burner, then we cut a short piece of magnesium and placed it over the burner holding it with tongs. The magnesium got hott enough and lit up and produced a bright white light.
    -Mg+O2heatMgO

    We filled a test tube with ammonium carbonate. Then we gently heated this substance and we wafted the smell to us. It smelled like Bleach.
    -(NH4)2Co3heatNH3+Co2+h2O

    we mixed Potasium iodine and lead 2 nitrate. and we produced a yellow color.
    - Ki+Pb(No3)2-KnO3+PbI2

    Spectra lab


    In this lab, we learned about three different spectars. They are Continuous, Emission, and Absorption.
    Continuous Spectra (all the colors) are all of the colors in a rainbow. With the continuous spectra there is every  kind of wave and light in it. They are also called thermal spectrums.
    Emission
    The spectrum of bright lines, bands, or continuous radiation characteristics of and determined by a specific emitting substances subjected to a specific kind of excitation.The light is passed through a spectrometer, and the energy is dimmed in the spectrum, leaving only a small portion of light.
    Absorption
    The electromagnetic spectrum, broken by a specific pattern of dark lines or bands, observed when radiation traverses a particular absorbing medium. The absorption pattern in unique and can be used t identify the material. Theres a material that absorbs the light such as a cloud of gas. It's almost a continuous spectrum even though the black body in between you, and the light source is distorting it a little bit.

    atomic structure assessment* ch 4

    Pg 112 :

    28.  All matter is composed of atoms which contains protons, neutrons, and electrons in the nucleus
    35. the cathode ray
    39. The electrons stay confined in the nucleus because they are negative, and the protons are positive which attract. So the electromagnetic force cause them to stay.
    40. The tube is filled with low pressured gas so its not like its hectic in their. The particles connect to the opposite charges as the voltage and magnetic force runs.
    50. The superscript in the notation represents the mass number and the subscript stands for the atomic number.
    51. You know the mass number and atomic number but how do you find out the number of neutrons? Well  if you have those two things, you take the subtract the atomic number to the mass number which will figure out the number of neutrons.
    60.  Vanadium (V) protons: 23 electrons: 23----> Manganese (Mn) protons: 25 electrons:25----> Iridium (Ir) protons: 77 electrons: 77----> Sulfur (S) protons:16 electrons: 16
    64. Cs- protons & electrons: 55 neutrons: 80
          Co- protons & electrons: 27 neutrons: 32
          Tm- protons & electrons: 69 neutrons: 94
          Zn- protons & electrons: 30 neutrons: 50
    65. a: 31 protons & electrons, 33 neutrons
          b. 9 protons & electrons, 14 neutrons
          c. 22 protons & electrons, 26 neutrons
          d 2 protons & electrons, 6 neutrons
    68. percent abundance (mass) = atomic mass. .  51.992
    85.  You cannot  pass your hand through an solid object even though atoms are primarily composed of empty space just because they are all connect in place vibrating.

    chromatography*



    I did a chromatography experiment. I used filtered paper and a petri dish. Then i filled the dish up with water. Then I drew a design on the filtration paper. After I made two wholes on each side of the paper.Next, I rolled up a piece of paper and put it in the whole. Then I watched the water travel into the paper. It caused the ink to separate. Some the inks separated more than others. The colors with smaller molecules separated more because the smaller molecules were lighter to travel through.

    Separation of mixtures lab*


    I thought this lab was cool, I never did anything like this before. I learned a lot of new things. One thing that i learned is how to separate the mixtures. The first thing we did was got a beaker and added sugar, dirt,and then boiling stones. Then we exchanges out ingredients with another group. We decided that there was: iron metels, boiling stones, and calcium chloride. However we didn't know how to figure out how much of the ingredient there was. We tried to separate the mixtures by a magnet and net. I learned that we used a type of filtration.

    Kendra and I first did our own mixture we added:
    sugar 23.40
    dirt 12.98
    boiling stones 2.76

    The other group got:
    sugar: 25.10
    Dirt:18
    boiling stones: 14



    Filtration-sperates solids from liquids by using a parous barrier
    Distillation-Separates substance on the basis of the boiling points of the substance
    Chromatgraphy-separates substance based on their movements through a special paper
    Centrifuation- separates the components of a mixture based on the tendency of each component to travel or be drawn across the surface of another material.


    We exchanged with Logan's group. We used a net to try and separate the mixture. It worked pretty good but not good enough we still needed something to get all the iron metal. So Then we used a magnet to separate the iron metel




    This is what we got for their mixture:

    iron metals 27.26

    boiling stones 22.57

    calcium chloride 3.04

    These were the real result:

    iron metal: 23
    boiling stones: 14
    calcium chloride: 7
